[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Pacer Info

["Robert" <baddassgremlin@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks. Not that I am going to let the steering quirks slow me down 
from getting a Pacer, but when I looked on Napa Prolink for a rack, 
they only showed a listing for "manual" steering rack. So I am going 
to check a few places out on the availability of a power steering 
rack. The Pacer that I am going to Arizona to look at, is listed 
as "needs rack and pinion work" Oh well, I'm gonna buy a Pacer no 
matter what. Bob in MN.
