Default Picked up an 02 for the old man.

Dad turns 50 in March so I picked up his bday gift a little early.
02 with 127k for $5400.

Dad lives in NY so eventually it will make its way up there. What brand/weight fluids for the motor/diff and trans do you guys recommend for a state that actually has 4 seasons?

Take off the bra and let the bosoms loose.


Makes a great 50th birthday present. That's what mine was in 1995....now he just enjoys all the goodies it has when I'm not driving it.

I run Mobile 1 0W-30 for the winter here, and mobile 1 tranny fluid but I can't remember the grade. Rear end is stock fluid, and it hasn't exploded yet.
