I like my car

I'm sure we probably all like our cars, but I feel compelled to say that I really like my Packard.

My day car is a 2000 Sebring convertible. I drive a 60 mile round trip every day to work in it. It's sporty, it's fun, and I love driving it. On the other hand it has a continual problem with rattles.

Tonight I drove my Packard up to the spray car wash, over to Autozone (right, try and buy an oil filter there!) and just up and down some roads for the pleasure of it.

My '49 rides smoother, doesn't rattle, and has almost ZERO road noise. It is truly a pleasure to drive.

When I was having gas tank rust trouble I used to worry about stop lights in high traffic areas. It wasn't unusual to have my engine die at embarrassing times. I had a moment tonight where I pulled up to a stop light and couldn't hear or feel my engine running. I put my head out of the window and stepped on the gas. It was fine... it was just quiet.

My wife hasn't ridden with me much since the time we had to push it off the road (rusty tank) a few years ago. I think I'm going to get her back out there and see what she thinks now.

I really like this car, and I am so thankful for this forum and the help that so many continually offer. Thank you so much.
