Throwing in the towel

Really glad to know that you are ok, the car can be fixed, when you feel the desire to do so. In the meantime, like so many others have said already, drive the newer vehicle, and try to avoid all the brain dead dummies on the road. I too am a commercial driver and have seen countless incidents of completely clueless drivers who have no idea what the hell they are doing. It seems like the bar has been lowered so much so that all one needs is a faint pulse to acquire a driver's license today. It doesn't matter where you are, I've been all over North America, it's gotten bad everywhere.

Please post some photos of the Dart, many of us would love to see it, even though it's hurting.
