"it's amazing how regular care and daily 
driving can keep an old car "young"."

Ron Porter

Have to agree Ron. I really feel I know my 4 year old
to me, 95MTX. In 4 years, I've only replaced fluids, 
(oil every 1,000 miles because of short city trips)and
a set of tires. Just put in new front brake pads 
the other day and I think they were the originals at
82,000 miles! What's to be done? Well it's ready for
rear springs as it rides eith the front bumber higher
than rear. Spark plugs which I believe may be
original.
Water pump which has been dripping for 2 years in
August. And the original clutch is due. So for about
$3,000 I can have this baby ready for another 100k.
Oh yeah, The original starter died the other day. 
Had the old one out and to the Advanced Auto store
for core and new one installed in 1 hour. Love it.
