I have a cousin who is selling a P1800.  I am not sure which version
but he looked for a particular one when he bought it (I think it is
an 1800E).  It is very original, no rust, stainless exhaust.

He purchased the car from the Volvo club president (the car is in Mass.)
who was the original purchaser.

If anyone is interested Email me and I will get the specs.

They make cars built in Detroit in the bad old days of the 70's look like
models of quality control to be followed.

	No, because Canadians as a whole (for the most part) define ourselves
as "not Americans".  Canadians are much more laid back as a whole and we *don't*
respond well to flag waving.  As well, as another reply to this article stated,
we do have different motor vehicle standards in Canada.  The one that comes to
mind is bumpers - ours must withstand 5 mph collisions, while the US bumpers
must only withstand 2.5 mph collisions (I believe...).

What does he condider a "US made car"? If he's to be taken literally, he
wouldn't allow a Ford Crown Vic in the garage (Canada made), but he would
have to allow Accords, and a slew of other "foreign" cars, since they
are built in the US.

Subject: I tried ColorMatch Polish!!!
Date: 12 Oct 92 18:18:32 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: University of Rochester - Rochester, New York

Well, winter is coming and thoughts of winterizing my car are here.
I figured this year I'd remove the oxided paint using a fine-cut
cleaner and my orbital buffer, then use a long-term product such
as Nu Finish to protect over the winter months, as washing(waxing
at least) will be difficult.  Well, at K-Mart the other day I picked
up the Nu Finish, then thought 'what the heck' and grabbed a bottle
of ColorMatch acrylic polish to use before  Nu Finish.

I've always been skeptical of anything that appears in infomertials, this
being no exception.  Espesially since nothing I've used except fine
abrasives remove/repair oxidized paint/scratches/swirl marks.  Anyway,
I washed the car when I got home, then went to work with a wet wax
applicator pad and ColorMatch.  It strangely resembles black(the color
of my car) shoe polish in its thick consistency and odor.  Hmmmmm...
It went on easily(I used a rubber glove on that hand) and hazes
quickly like normal polish.  Buffing it off with a soft towel brought
very decent results!  I was amazed at how quickly and easily the haze
comes off.  In fact, I did my whole car in under an hour.  The pigments
helped eliminate some of the uneven color in my hood and other horizontal
surfaces, which I believe to be caused by many seasons of Rochester rain.
As far as filling in scratches, it didn't happen, though I wouldn't 
expect this of anything but paint.  Swirl marks did disappear for the most
part, which are very visible in a black car.  BTW, my car isn't clearcoated,
I'm not sure if this product works on clearcoats.  

Of course, it had to rain the following two days!  I haven't seen how
it endures, but if anyone is curious, email me in a couple of weeks, 
after I wash it.  I was overall impressed with the product, easier to use
than my carnuba waxes, looks almost as good, not sure how it'll stand
time.  Maybe I'll try Duralube next, but I'm not going to but
ambervision!!!!!!!

So as I was in Paris last week and, by golly, paid my 40Fr to visit.

Dig that the car (the 456GT) was purple with a light tan leather interior.
It was funny too that they had suitcases sitting around showing how much
luggage fit into the trunk.  What else can you expect Ferrari to do?  All 
the other Ferrari's (usual current roundup, no classics) on stage were the
Ferrari red under gobs of red lights.

Oh yes, when you tip the front seats forward a little motor drives the 
seat forward so that it is easier to access things in the back seat. This
too made me think, "Is Ferrari becoming a 'Family Car' manufacturer?"

	After having spent the day looking at cars with a friend
because his drive train decided to implode, we were wondering what the
net's opinion on the Hyundai Elantra was. 
	We looked at the 
		Ford Escort
		     Tempo
		Dodge Acclaim
		Subaru Legacy
		Toyota Corolla/Geo Prizm
		Hyundai Elantra.
	
	Of these cars, the Elantra seemed the best deal, 
the Escort is much improved from its predecessors but a little
on the small side. Tempo a little better in my mind but not my 
friends.  Dodge is a waste as was the Corolla. 
	The subaru was nicer than the Elantra but
not for the price difference.
	We got a quote for the 
Elantra
	with Cruise,A/C, for $10,800 out the door
For the Subaru
	with A/c,Cruise,Air bag	 $14,400 out the door.

The Subaru is nicer but not $4K nicer. Is the Elantra a piece
of trash, what is the best price for the Subaru.
Also what other 4 door sedan in the ~10K region are worth
looking at? Any replies are welcome. Thanks in advance

Definitely.  All I've read, heard and experienced (I own an '85) points
to the early CRXs as being very reliable cars.  But that asking price
is really silly.  Does your retail book value take into account the
car's high mileage?  (average for an '87 should be 45,000 ...)

Ron> Are there any particulars about this CRX I should know of?

Not really -- the '87s are identical mechanically to the '86s and '85s.
You should find out if the timing belt has been replaced -- it should've
been done at 60,000 miles.  Also, you might ask if it still has its
original clutch -- at 60k it might be getting close to that time, but
of course this would vary according to driving habits ...

	Big heavy cars need more power to displace the greater volume of snow,
	slush, whatever, that they'll have to face by virtue of their sinking
	in.

	Lighter cars, not sinking is so much, do not need to displace as much
	gunk, so their smaller engines can be sufficient to get through.

	It's a fiction to think that lighter cars do not sink in to some extent,
	but that extent is limited by all kinds of things- snow density, quality,
	depth, etc.  The fact that little cars go at all in snow is proof of this.
	
	Little cars, too, can have extra weight in the rear, snow tires, studs.  But
	they usually get by without positraction, unlike the large, heavy, Custom
	Cruisers.  And since you're mentioning postiraction, we are back in
	the category of torque to n driven wheels.

They are indeed "exactly exotic", it that the word "exotic" is firstly

How about the additives found in the oil itself. I have over 200,000 _Hard_ 
miles on a 1980 AMC Eagle, using nothing but a good grade engine oil changed
every 2-3000 miles. 

To sum what could be way too long of a response, I just don't see any reason
to use slick-50 or any other additives in my oil.

  If the other driver was at fault why are you not dealing with her insurance
company or suing her individually? The insured value is an issue between you
and your company and has nothing to do with the value assessed if another
drivers insurance is paying.
