George, I have a question...
The SHO I purchased from you....was it different from the SHO's made in the
other 49 States Of The United?
Does this have California specific Emmissions on it? I remember going
through inspection and passing the NJ emmissions...............no
problem......
That never happens to me, this leads me to wonder if i am currently
experiancing the same problems.....
I think i need a 60k but i was wondering how much you think that would cost?
Assuming i do the work......which isnt a problem.....
This car seems to have a new Water pump......Did you find any receipts for
it?
I was wondering cause if the waterpump was changed recently, i would save
200 bucks or so i think....
Thanx buddy
Frank
PS) I LOVE THE CAR!
