Hola Amigos! Long Time No Talk

[Alex Kowalski]

Thanks, folks.

Also:  Dealer parts reality check:  Last week I dropped by unannounced
at my local dealer in Springfield, MA to pick up an oil filter and it
had to be ordered!

I take this to mean that I can count on them not having very many
other parts on the shelf, either.

The bright spot was that the service cashier was pleasantly surprised
to see the car drive onto the lot.  I had just washed it and although
the paint is weathered and chipped in a couple of places, the car
still has that "looks great from 20 feet" quality to it.  She was
flabbergasted when I told her that it only had ~63k miles and still
ran well, and that the A/C still functioned, and I had only paid a
grand total of about $2300 including maintenance and purchase price in
the past 2 years.  And as always it was the best car in the family
throughout this past winter in New England.

No complaints.  I can't wait to have them both running again.

Cheers,
Alex
