“The atomatic seatbelt is not running in it's track continuously. It has decided to work when and if it feels like it. The paint started peeling on the top of the trunk in 1998 or 99 approximately, I have never had the money to get the paint fixed. I did however get the side painted when I was involved in an accident in 1993. That paint has bubbled. I don't remember what it cost me, I think just my insurance deductible at that time.”
