[70GreenBurb]

Thanks for the welcome. We did fall in love with it as soon as our neighbors indicated they were going to sell it and we noticed how unique it was with only three doors, and how super clean it was. Dick and Annie had taken great care of it with both of their kids being mechanics. They greased the hubs regularly, lubed the undercarriage, etc and did so many of the mundane maintenance items that often get overlooked. The owners manual has maintenance records written all over it. But its age, and unleaded gas, finally caught up with the engine.

Once we have an all new drive train, except for gears, we will feel pretty comfortable that the undercarriage parts aren't going to nickel and dime us to death. We are just glad we decided to invest some dimes into making the Burb a reliable, and good looking, daily driver instead of buying a new SUV that would have dropped a third of its value when we signed the papers.
