I'll just add for the record that I knew NOTHING about these cars 2 years
ago, and still don't know quite a bit.  But I got mine running with the help
of this group and have only taken it to a shop once and that was for an
alignment.  I've spent a couple hundred on some tools I didn't have but
they've come in handy time and time again so they weren't a one-time
purchase.

If you don't have the time you wish you had, then that's understandable and
a totally different situation.  But I'm living testimony that this group can
guide you to be your own mechanic !  :)

Just offering some "you can do it" in case you were doubting....
