I won't include any gratuitous references to Sexgate, gun control, vise grips
and oxyacetylene torches, damped driven systems, five-cylinder larceny, a
certain Senator from Massachusetts or Illinois, or the end of the world as we
know it in this post.  

Given these constraints, I can still say that you can find a primer on Olber's
Paradox without a cosmology textbook.  You can go to:

To the point:

I have a dust-covered 1986 (January build date) 5000 CSTQ 93k miles, which is
really broken beyond my capacity to repair.  I also have the complete rear
suspension (sans crossmember) from a 5KTQ that will fit a slightly different
car than mine, and the front calipers from the latter.  I've stared at it,
drawn grotesque faces with my fingers in the dust on the hood, paid to keep it
festooned in my parking garage, flagellated myself over it, but the fact
remains:  It's just sitting here and it has to go but I can't make it go.

You'll need to reupholster the driver's side sport seat.  The radio buttons
all work perfectly, as did the rest of the car's electronics.  I wouldn't try
to start the MC wihtout a new oil pan and pickup tube.  The trunk of the car
has been shifted a few degrees skyward, but body panels are largely intact,
along with the Fuchs and the Dunlop D40M2s.  

It was going to be a wonderful car; maybe someone can find some value in the
pieces.
