Jeez! Sorry to hear you have been having so much trouble. I'm the third owner of mine, and have owned it for over three years with no problems whatsoever (knock on wood). There are owners that have had varied problems but correct them, and go on. An important thing to keep in mind is that the auto's are over 25 yrs old, were only produced a couple of years and all the bugs had not been discovered and corrected as regular production cars. If I may suggest, I would have a reputable shop (such as PJ Grady in NJ) take a good look at your car and make some recommendations. I also noticed in the picture that you may be needing some of the recall, and or recommended items installed (steel coolant bottle vs plastic, De-Ice kit with slash shield, etc) Don't get too discouraged, these things happen. IMHO, the good times more than make up for the occasional grief.
