The thing has been slipping a little for over a year. It started making some disturbing clunking noises a few days ago. This morning on the way into work it started acting like a standard with clutch less than fully engaged. It's toast. Not so awful for twenty years and 303K miles. So, my 3G brethren, I am having a high end reman installed and am going to keep driving it. I will spend more than the car's book value, but its value to me cannot be measured in dollars and I am not that excited about any of the new cars out there. Besides, I replaced a bunch of stuff in the last year to make sure I could keep going. I figure if I get at least another couple of years out of it I will get more than my money's worth.
