As I believe in squeezing out as much as I can out of large capital investments, I dutifully took it in to the mechanic who changed the plugs, the wires and the coil. None of which shut down the baleful red Check Engine Light on the dash. This failure was beyond the quick fixes. A quick comparison between the engine overhaul estimate and the Kelly Blue Book value of the vehicle put me in the market of a new (to me) car.
And, if I'm going to do that, then I might as well go electric. With an updated electronics package. And a bamboo interior with recycled fabric and LED lights that use light frequencies guaranteed to not hurt the eyes of roadside wildlife.
