RE: [DML] How long is too long?

Well we were driving the car till the transmission quit. Not that many 
people in this area know our cars, so we contacted PJ Grady's for it. Their 
paper had the tranny for $2195, and the car needed a few other odds and ends 
(torsion bar adjustment, speedo and fuel guage. the usual problems). So we 
paid $5000 up front to cover the tranny replacement and whatever other 
little tweaks they could do to it, but weren't prepared for a three 
year-plus wait. My wife has a couple days off in October and we tried to pin 
them down to a firm date, since she wants to reserve some plane tickets to 
fly up and drive it back. But we don't want to order tickets unless we can 
be sure the car will be ready to drive back to North Carolina. I still love 
the car but if every major occurence causes a three-year wait, I'll settle 
for an old Mustang or something :^(
