[s-cars] Vacuum leak

[Taka Mizutani]

I'm just saying if you have a mess of a car like the OP, you should
prioritize getting everything running right before doing anything else.

And buying an UrS to "keep up with STis and Evos" sounds like a bad idea.
Most anything with a big engine can destroy STis and Evos in a straight line
(GNs, Montes, Mustangs, Camaros, etc.) and an UrS has no chance of keeping
up with an Evo in the twisties if the driver is good. Most people forget
that the driver is the most important part of going fast. I can keep up with
a lot of people in much faster cars in my Miata, given the right twisty
road- most people can't drive fast in the corners, only in a straight line.

Like Doug said, if your car is broken down all the time, the wife/GF/etc.
will object strongly and then you'll have an uphill battle just to keep the
damn car.
