Did that for awile but on nice summer hot days i love to drive the car, so i dont ride the bicycle eneymore, winter time it would be a pain. So i drive my 94 eagl talon all winter sinch the car sets in the garage until about middle of may, When all the salt is gone.  The tour never see the bad weather, as a matter of fact iam getting ready to put it away, and pullout the talon.

Approaching 111k miles.
Bought the car in April 2002 with 38k miles.
It was a Hertz rental car.
Besides parts that I have broken or upgraded, I havent had to replace anything (aggressive maintenence is a great thing).
Thought I has an 02 sensor going bad once, but it was a loose wire in the connector.
