Chris,

I followed your cross country drive and all the posts that led up to that...

It looks like both the engine and transmission need to be rebuilt..

This sounds FAR more than co-incidental and there were so many posts about what an incredible buy this car would be and you payed a fairly big dollar for it given the higher mileage.

What does the previous owner say about these failures? Personally it seems to me that there MUST have been some clues that things were going south while the car was heading west

What are you thinking about these coincidences????
