When my roommate Amber came back from work she pointed out all the
little things that she didn't like about the shifting, clutch (too hard)
and how it needs an alignment, Just not like her Del Sol (Its only 3
years old)  but One thing she did admit That car will haul ass. She was
amazed by the 3rd Gear in my car. She is right it does need a few things
but its a hell of a lot closer to perfect than when I bought it. It will
be perfect someday no matter what it costs!

You have an articulate way of expressing yourself for sure with the
albatross and all. Its amazing how we all seem to totally understand
each other on this issue.
