Wait a minute.... It's late ~23:00 but that car has not usable transaxel
if I remember right. The transmision is in the rear, yes?, as well as
the differential... but the motor is up front...

Anyways, I live in Milpitas, iffum I had another bay in my garage, the
price schedule seems OK... Is the interior trashed? Body smashed?
Inquireing minds want to know.
