That being the case hopefully it's just the control unit acting up then. Odds are the previous owner punched it to turn off the A/C while climbing hills and getting onto highways and interstates.

Almost forgot to mention, it's officially the end of an era. The kid and his dad came back today and test drove the car. He wanted to buy it today, but I had to get my head-unit out of it and clean out things like my emergency kits. Was ungodly hot today so had to wait until a few hours ago to get all of that sorted. Tomorrow at 13:00 give or take I'll be car-less. Really don't want to sell it, but I had said I would a couple of days after he first asked and he already went through the trouble of getting a loan. Getting $3,000 out of it, so that'll go some ways in getting a MKIII or whatever I end up deciding on. I'm not sure if I'm so much attached to the car, or the thought of knowing it didn't need anything. At least it's going to a good home.

Smart Cars are the most pointless vehicles I've ever seen. Or are you just making fun of me being vertically challenged?
Fuel efficiency isn't really too much of a concern, as long as it doesn't get 10mpg on premium like my '67 DeVille did everything is ok. Some six-cylinders will be fine as they can pass mini-vans. It's only Japanese women I have a thing for. *cough*I suppose I'll stick around here though, finding a new forum and meeting new people is too exhausting. Besides if I get a Supra or first gen Celica it's relevant enough.

I thought about getting a GT with a sick/blown engine and swapping in a 1MZ, but I'm just too lazy to do that. That and I'd like to go back to RWD. Thought about another car, the SC300. Finding one with the 5-speed will prove difficult though.
