If it isn't one thing it's another always needing attention. These cars were designed and built in a time past where labor wasn't as expensive. So, I spend the money to have someone else fix it while I go out and earn a living to pay for it; just the way it works. However, after 7 years of driving my S2 I finally just couldn't handle the expenses anymore, sure wish I had purchased one new though. It was by far the most enjoyable car I have ever owned, just requires to much labor to keep it running. Guess that's why we don't see to many on the road anymore. think maybe its time to move on to something else.

This^^^^ I put in a 40 hour week and have an old house and a rental unit to maintain. Don't have a weekend here and there to work on the car.
When I say DD I am thinking of taking the bus into town to save $$, so it would be a weekend car.
