I would like to add, that buying a used and rarer car will have the same problems that you mentioned. The worst part is that some owners say that they want the DMC and don't care that it needs LOVE AND MONEY TO KEEP IT GOING. I hate to say this...but I have come across alot of disillusioned owners and bought their neglected cars... I have a fatal love for punishment that my hubby can swear to. :) All I can hope for is that future rare car owners will get their heads out of the clouds for a few and look at just how much love it takes to keep one happy and healthy and that Divorce has happened because of that love...but I guess the same can be said about pets too. :) Anna Noe Dreaming of owning a D someday. 88 & 89 Impulse Turbos 88 Conquest TSI 92 SVX 93 DelSol 85, 87,87 300zx's 78 280Z 89 Pathfind-ing Parts Getter and Car Tower :)
