What about the Hyundai Excel? (1986 or so, I think) You generously sold it to your sister-in-law after the breakup of her marriage. After driving it for a while, she in turn gave it to her brother, who sold it to a friend. It finally threw a rod or something at nearly 200k. Now that was a car! By the way, no one can explain it, but 5th gear actually started staying in gear after the muffler was replaced. The brothers-in-law say that the only thing they can figure is that banging on it to get the muffler off knocked the linkage back in place. Thanks again. Grateful Sister-in-Law P.S. How come you never told me about this column? It's great. Hey! What about the Hyundai Excel? (1986 or so, I think) You generously sold it to your sister-in-law after the breakup of her marriage.
