It is well that I am married\ufffd

because my exceptionally disreputable car (purchased new almost 25 years ago; has been subjected to extreme "deferred maintenance") would probably put off any prospective partner of normal sensibilities. Although I have not, times past, been one to invest an automobile with some externalized fraction of my self-worth, during the past year the thing has grown so extravagantly shabby-looking that I have begun to feel a leetle self-conscious as I tool around town in it (have I been getting those odd looks in the tony Piedmont Grocery parking lot all along, I wonder?), and think that I may give it the heave-ho next year when the Whole Foods on the corner opens up.

Nice to hear, though, that the newer wheels are working out for ye.

cardially,

Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

Ahhh, one of the !GOOD years.

Especially if it is a GM, Wonderful Rust-buckets in Michigan. In California, they seem to wear out the drive-train and just stop working.

I am guessing, a 1982 Olds Cutlass 4-door, with the vaunted Buick 231 with the oil-pump in the oil-pan, driven off the cam in the back of the motor. Versus having the "New desgin" Being a North Front Timing Cover, which includes the oil-pump assy, water-pump, distributor and timing chain cover.

The old design @ idle would produce ~3-5 PSI from the oil pump. New design ~20PSI @ idle from teh oil pump.

Such a !great era in GM Vehicles. Though I liked the looks of them, the drivetrain was crap, come to think of it, so was the body being made of crap materials.
