I laughed to myself a little when I read this because I was just thinking of all the countless hours we have spent troubleshooting problems on the FD's we have boought and sold over the years(I remember when you were troubleshooting the PCV one). I've had enough frustration with the few a year that I flip, I can only imagine how bad it gets sometimes for you with all the cars you have. I guess we are suckers for punishment... haha.

I have to be a glutton for punishment because nothing else could describe why I put so much effort into keeping these cars on the road. Most dont appreciate it but there are still a few rotorheads left that want to see more rotaries on the road.
