Amen! My wife's Omni, a decade ago, was useless-at-any-speed with only
70HP, and
that was after gas shocks and 185/70-13's on k-car wheels, amongst other
goodies.
Supposed to be a Rabbit knock-off, but it didn't turn out that way in

Mopar garbago (then why did I buy that Rampage?)

I understand it covers the odd-shaped well left behind when the car is
switched

(she's all
of 5'2").

calling him,
Joanne now picks up the phone most times.
