Thanks for the nom. Glad you liked it.

Glad you liked it; great cars make for easy writing I suppose.

Here's my old SC. I loved every second with that car. It wasn't the fastest car in my group of my friends. It wasn't terribly refined - as one of my friends said, "It's an engine. With a seat."

While a tragic situation, this is a potentially 13-year old *street* car. Consider the car's maintenance history and the car's age in your analysis.

Coupled with my point about the age of the components, I completely agree with you regarding the fuel line and the hot engine. These are street cars. Yes, highly capable, but street cars nonetheless.
