Wow, talk about coincidence! I did a top-end job on my mom's Quantum. Same model year. Truly a POS.

My random thought for today, some things really did improve since 1968 and 1978.
Take Kono for example (1968 and today)....   Or maybe Starbuck (1978 and today)   Two best sex changes ever....

I have this burning curiosity to see if the FR-S disables the starter motor when the engine is already running. I don't really want to try to find out though.

Why does the American Hero Channel on TV show so many shows about Hitler?

Watching rally vids it makes me wonder. How the hell do navigators not puke up their breakfast trying to read a map in that car at those speeds bouncing around and flipping from side to side like that? They must be snorting lines of Dramamine or something.

The FRS has been secreting oil. Turns out it was deformed crank seal and dipstick oil ring split.
Erm. What? I only have 8K miles left before the powertrain warranty is useless. I talked to a few technicians i know, they didn't really know what to say.
