Accelerator pedal with the bottom attached to the floor.

Cars one can actually work on and fix. Two reasons why I love my 69 VW.

I discovered that if your problem is anything that touches the computer, fixing modern cars is usually easier, especially if it is a chrysler. My personal examples:

1. Late 80’s dodge omni sits in my garage for several months. Simply will not start. I discover the way the car flashes the check engine light to tell you what ails it. In this case it is a $17 electrical part on the fender wall about two inches square. I replace it, car starts right up.
2. Later 80’s Reliant. Strands my daughter at her job. Will not start. Code says map sensor is defective. Pick one up at junk yard for free. Install and car starts right up.
3. 2001 Chrysler 300m with 110,000 miles and original spark plugs. Starts missing bad. Code says number 5 coil is dead. Buy new coil for $48. Install, no more miss.

I love working on modern cars.
