Nice solid Dart! Glad you have a sense of humor about it. Without one, owning an old car can get very frustrating, even if you farm out the work.
Welcome to the site.
Thanks, I did buy it off of Craigs List sight unseen so I was expecting the worse but it turned out okay in the end. Just put tags on it Thursday and drove the heck out of it this weekend.
Got in a little bit of a "First to the Speed Limit Wins" contest with a BMW with it on Saturday. My poor little tires in the back acted like they were on ice when I punched it. After I got traction I was catching up to the jerk when we ran into traffic.
