... Why would it be necessary, unless the body of the alternator is isolated from the engine by rubber bushings? No 95/96/Sonett I've worked on has had a OEM...
I've had the same thoughts, especially as I consider the rust on my own Sonett. It would be a shame to see our cars melted down for a few quick checks,...
Honestly, if they'd just give us the $5k for turning in our clunkers I'd be all over it, but who the heck wants a new car or new car payments?? Eric...
It's being dubbed "cash for clunkers" but that's really a misnomer. Gas guzzling '02 models will qualify for the full $5K credit. Remember, it's an "up to"...

That was partially my point. Yes, many Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, Bimmers, Benzes and even VWs (if you count the Routan) are built in the US. And yes, a lot...
