Before my trusty Gremlin went to that great auto-shop in the sky, I had over 200,000 miles on the original engine (excluding hoses, of course). It was a 1973, Gremlin-X, with Levi's material (and logo) for the seats, and was the best party-mobile I ever owned (aside from the rusty holes on both front fenders, I never had a problem with that car). If that tree hadn't jumped out in front of me one dark, rainy night, that car would probably still be running today, with an extra 60,000 miles on it. -- Laurie Topor [ihnp4, vax135, houxf, mhuxt]!wbux5!lat Bell Communications Research \ 185 Monmouth Parkway \ West Long Branch, NJ 07733 \ (201)-870-7491
