[s-cars] Vacuum leak

[Douglas Landaeta]

I don't think Lee prioritized, but I do agree that reliability is very  
important, if you have to walk from her on the side of the road, the  
wife's gonna question all that garage time.

I learned that, in order to assure reliability, you gotta fix it  
yourself (or find that special tech that has a dozen old Audis in his  
shop/yard and be ready to pay).

I'm only 8 years into my UrS hobby, but the fun never stops. My advice  
is to get stage 0 'spot on' and then, as mileage, time and money  
permits go system by system and learn, do the deferred and preventive  
mtce. On each system and slowly, through reading and advice gather  
them 'go quick' parts and build her up.
