Chiming in with my 2 cents - Tenacity is great in the
face of obstacles, but sometimes you just need to get away from it. Go
fishing. Work on something else. Chase your wife around the house yelling "come
to papa!" Just give it a rest for awhile and you're attitude will change. I
suspect most of these older cars eventually have all the problems yours has.
It's just usually over a longer period of time. So consider yourself lucky -
you've got most of your work out of the way. Just a thought. Besides, when
you're driving down the street on a sunny, warm Sunday afternoon with that
satisfied grin, this will all seem like a small price to pay.
Good luck!

Subject: Re: IML: My 81 for sale: The
Math / Frustration
One has to wonder, how so many issues, in such a short time, could
possibly infest one vehicle? If I remember correctly, it started with freeze
plugs, and flushing the cooling system, then the carb, then, the trans, then
the rear end. And I might have missed something. At this point, I would
have to consider myself the most" UN-LUCKY" Imperial owner,or is
this something else? Just a thought.Ya'll have a nice day,
Dave.

I think our fellow Imperialist Matt is suffering from a
case of frustration. His Imperial has hit a bump in its road. Matt
seems to be overwhelmed, as many of us have from time to time with our cars.
For me the satisfaction and joy of driving them far surpasses the fleeting
moments of frustration. I enjoy the challenge. If it weren't for my cars I'd
just be sitting around watching Martha Stewart programs all day!
:-).
I agree that the Jag would seem to be a lot less
reliable than many other cars. If Matt is thinking of sinking 9 K into a Jag
why not put a few $$ into the Imperial and have a fun reliable luxo car to
drive. Or maybe sell his car, if not his favorite design & get a
different Imperial . Just my 11.5 cents worth.
