Still waiting...

...Wow!  It's been a while since I've driven my car.  I expected to get Old Blue back today, but we're still trying to find an elusive part.  It's really tough to find parts for L body Mopars--or any Mopars for that matter.  Dodge Omnis are weird cars.  Really, they are.  They look just like VW Rabbits/Golfs, but have virtually nothing in common with them--save the 1.6L engine used from time to time.  They came about in a time when front wheel drive cars were pretty uncommon, even among economy cars.  Now FWD is standard for most sedans.  The Omni/Horizon twins, and most Chrysler vehicles, were more like imports than domestics.  They had strange new features like cup holders, gas-filled trunk lift supports, overhead camshafts, and electronic ignition, EFI and turbochargers (GLH) before they were common.  Now, most have become only a solemn, decaying, footnote in automotive history.  Lets hope Old Blue fares better than her brethren.  Sleep well...
