With the battery located in front of the passenger foot box over the exhaust it takes a beating. Summer of 2001 stopped at a Mc D's for a cold drink and left the lights on(on an already weakened battery - going to move it to the trunk) it would not start. Had the Mc D's crew push start me. And last summer(2002) out for a ride south of Carlisle on Rt.94 saw a small car show at a church and stopped to look. You gussed it car would not start when I went to leave Had to be push started again (replaced the starter that time.) Several ocassions have neglected to down shift at traffic light and stalled on the green light.(Red face at green light). Have always had a small
oil leak until last fall - went to a car show in Hazelton, PA.(200 mile round trip) had an
oil puddle running out from under the car at the show - had to clean up before I left - used 4 quarts of
oil on the trip. (Had a crack in the rear weld seam of the oil pan- fixed now and no leak).
