I used to drive my dad's 1987 Nissan Stanza until it exploded.

This is what the family owns:
2000 Nissan Maxima GLE
2006 Mercedes ML350
1999 Volvo S80 T6

Drive the daughters 2000 Toyota Camry, my 1996 Chevy Tahoe, my 2000 Ranger R83 bassboat, my wifes 2004 Chevy Impala and soon will be driving my dads 1977 Chevy Corvette (each grandchild gets to have it for 3 years to drive) and there's no way I'm going to have a Vette in the garage and not drive it some!!

You have no idea of an electrical system until you meet up with Lord Lucas, the Duke of Darkness!! Get hold of an old British auto and you will soon learn! My 1965 Healey has a whopping two fuses................that's right.........two 20 amp fuses for the entire electrical system!

Flamejet, lower the 850, chip it, get a good catpipe and intake and you'll be owning that Intrepid anyday.

But the funny thing lately is that almost all the intrepids I see are blowing oil out the tail pipe. Valve seals I assume.
