It's surprising to me too. It was definitely 2007, I think May. I can look
in my gasoline log but that's at home. I've driven the snot out of this car,
and ran it HARD in that rally (and since...), and still no squeaks or
rattles or failures other than noted in this list. I've grown to more than
trust the front suspension -- I think it's a GREAT design, just labor
intensive to assemble. After all that thrashing the alignment is still
perfect. Wish I could say that for my strut-bushing cars.

I'm fairly sure I will not be asking for my money back on this car, Joe.

Have you broken your new motor in yet? I'm wondering about the zinc additive
business for break-in, even for low performance engines like ours. I think
I'm gonna treat mine to a heavy dose, the worst it can be is a waste of
money.

Longer term, I'm definitely running synthetic oil after breakin. The innards
of my 232 attest to it.
