I am looking for someone who knows how these cars are supposed to work and feel. I have had the car for a little over a year and am wondering if all the little things I hear and feel are "Normal". Does the car handle like it should, clutch pedal feel right. things like that.

I'll keep you in mind, I would prefer something a little closer. The car doesn't like long runs on the highway. Aerodynamics stop airflow to the radiator at speeds above 80.

I'm closer... live in Dearborn, but I've been working in Romeo these days, so I drive right through Madison Heights twice each day. I can share an opinion, but it would be difficult for you to drive my car in return... unless you want to head out to GingerMan with me on Wednesday.

I was raised in the Romeo area, 25 mile and Mound road.

I LOVED it there, please have a 'loose coney' in my name.
