Again, thanks to all that have replied to my queries, especially about
their Syncros' Lifespans and Vehicle Security.

I didn't have to wait long to find my dream machine.

The '87 syncro westy I was interested in is now mine!  It was by all
accounts worth the trip to N.C.  With the help from local listmember
Charles Michaux who had seen the vehicle, and his trusty mechanic Randy
at Foreign Accents in Greensboro, I took the plunge.  This grey beauty
has -0- body rust, 88 k miles and runs like a champ.  It has A/C and TWO
"car" heaters.

Those winter weekends in the '72 will be remembered fondly, at least.
(We were a sight walking stiff-legged into the roadside restaurants
wearing three pairs of insulated pants, snow boots and all.)

This is just a long way of saying please update the weekly STATS.
