No problem! I've got a spare bedroom and comfortable fold-out couch in the living room. However, you may wake up with one or two 14 pound cats sleeping next to you!

Apart from a few window regulators and the dreaded self-machining trans back in '96, it's been extremely reliable. In fact, even at 165k mikes, I still have the original waterpump, AC compressor, fuel pumps... and even the rear tail lamp and front blinker bulbs!
I just replaced the starter and and alternator last year!

They're Bosch Pilot fog lamps that were on the car as delivered by the dealer. I actually like 'em and think that they are "period correct" in regards to the old school look. Most importantly, I only turn 'em on when it's rainy or foggy.

Or...
are you suggesting that f(r)og lights are something only for French cars?

BTW, I'll soon be replacing my crappy US spec aeros with some e-code aeros!

Since I don't know what "scene" you are into, here are two good places to start:

NHF, OK. If you take it from the oldskool perspective alright. Just a matter of personal taste, that's all...
