At least Chuck's PT is a turbo, this has the plain jane 2.4l I4 engine, no frills. I will say The Boy is dissappointed that he wasn't comfortable in this, and truth be told with as wobbly as the suspension is (refer to the ball joint comments above) I think its better that he not be behind the wheel.problemaddict wrote:Wait.

The previous owner fancied himself a mechanic, spoiler alert, he wasn't.Bigshankhank wrote:... and truth be told with as wobbly as the suspension is (refer to the ball joint comments above) I think its better that he not be behind the wheel.
It sounds like he was trying to kill himself.red wrote:

Only real drawback is a lack of aftermarket support, even from when they were new.

I think that requires some digging, because the valence that the wiper motor is behind cannot be easily removed. I think I have to go through the firewall.MATPOC wrote:PULL THE WHOLE WIPER MECHANISM, might need it, those pivots and balljoints usually wear out

Pretty much, in fact the rim itself has mildew growing on it, its been that long since its seen the light of day.Jaeger wrote:
