I just spit out my beer!! Too funny. Turbo ( original ) for those who are wondering. I think the only thing I've replaced more than once except for plugs since acquiring the rig are the radiator, heater core and starter ( loose wires FTL ).
Do I take care of the motor? Eh, it eats oil so that's always fresh and I am always into the boost ( lots of hills to and from work ), I drive it hard and it does show its age but it soldiers on. Everything works except the AC and that's only a recharge away.
