Thanks a lot for your responses, guys. Andrew, I went to Tulane aka "Waterworld" University and graduated with a BA in English in '02. Currently, I am finishing up law school here at Univ. of Memphis.

My dad, who is a Ford salesman in AL, picked this ride up for a cool $1400 in October, and I have been driving it ever since. The odometer stopped sometime ago at 216k. The exterior is in unbelievable shape, and it rides pretty well so far (outside of a whining power steering pump that I am currently having checked out--hopefully, all it needs is ATF fluid). The only other car I have owned is a '95 Neon, so needless to say, I really enjoy "flossin" in this bad boy.

I don't have any pics yet, but once I get my digi cam working again I'll be sure and post them. I was dismayed when my mechanic told me about the metric TRX's, but I like this car so much that I figure I'll invest in some new TRX's soon(or used ones if I can find them on Ebay). Based on my Tirerack research, it looks like I would be dropping $600-700 on new wheels and tires anyway, and my dad said he could special order them thru his dealership for $700+. It will put quite a dent in my bank account, but might as well stay true to the original, you know?
