thanks you for the heads up! i will take that into consideration

i hope i get lucky with the brakes...i mean how often do they "seize up" or wear out? it's ~1500 without the brakes and that i can manage...as i said before my biggest concern is the transmission!

i wasn't offended i just wanted to make sure you won't call me that
150 is really not enough even for daily use(and a ~20 YO car will have some horses less than new so we might be dealing with 120ish
and 120BHP takes decades to get to 60...sometimes slow cars are more dangerous than faster ones you know!
