I for one do not see the change in the list. If someone want's to vent his
or her frustration, "have at it". I have a delete button also, and I use it
quite frequently. But never do I delete information about a 1600, or any
other for that matter. You never know when you may need some of that
information. Fact is, I have created a folder just to store the comments
and situations that people on the list encounter, so when I work on my 2000,
I can assess the information I have stored, for possible help. I have read
several things I had no experience with that I found to be quite useful. I
have played mechanic all my life, but when it came to putting in an
aftermarket radio in my roadster, I could not for the life of me figure out
how the console came out to put the Radio into it. Now with the info. on
this list, I know how. And I can refer back to it if I need to. Thank you,
People.
