We has a Cavalier wagon. The stupid thing ate clutches. Found out from a mechanic at one of the dealerships that it was a known design flaw. They felt so bad for me that they sold me the parts at wholesale every time I had to replace it. I got to where I could swap the clutch out in that fron wheel drive car in under 3 hours by my self. Shop rate was 6 hours.
Man, I haven't drug my telescope out in forever. I have an 8" f5 Meade. The freaking pier for it weighs about 90lbs, so it takes two men and a truck to haul it out to a dark sky location.
Glad to hear the kid is curious.
