Oooops...I forgot. People in the other groups don't know me very well

This is in an '89 Mazda 626. I should have clarified that.

I currently have
'85 Corolla GTS, owned for 21 years
'89 Mazda 626, $100 special, runs GREAT
'89 Subaru GL 3-door coupe, latest 'project'
'88 Supra Non Turbo
'05 Scion tC
