Hi Zack, Yes, I am still here, and not being an owner I don't post much. I didn't get VIN 980 for a number of reasons, not the least of which was a lack of money. After that I decided to save up some more cash, wait until I was making enough money such that I could afford to give a D the TLC it needs, and continue to absorb the info here on the DML. Consequently I am looking at getting a D in about a year, if everything continues to go smoothly. It will be one capable of driving home and whose problems will be mostly electrical and cosmetic (I am not a mechanic). It will also probably be a stick shift. And since I live in New Orleans, the first thing I will do will be replace the TABs and upgrade the suspension. Heh. Thanks for checking in. --Farrar VIN TBA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
