Well, we made a deal on it and maybe this weekend it will be mine. He's going to pressurize the ac and check for leaks, fix the cruise, install a new ac fan (noisy one now), a couple of new tires and warranty the engine. And MD inspect it (a royal pain in the butt).

So, if all goes well, it'll be my new ride. Strider will run backup and my wife's SD will go up for sale.

I'm excited. It's the first time I've been in a 124 and I'm quite impressed with its manners.

One thing I'm not sure of - does this car have a cat or is there something I need dto pay attention to that I'm not used to on my 84?
