'88 to '04 Aero? No longer an issue. The '88 stays...

I was wrestling with getting rid of my 1988 9k and getting an '04 Aero (for around 20K). I didn't. I've never had a car payment, and what I spend on repairs on my 9k now doesn't even come close. Plus, I have some goodies in my 9k that make it fun. But here are the biggest reasons I stayed in the 80s:
1. This 9k board. I have found answers to any issue my car has ever had in ridiculously short amounts of time. Thanks to all you guys.
2. The TSN site sponsors. Places like eeuroparts that get my parts for a lot less money when things break.
3. A rock solid indy mechanic.
There's a couple other things too, that helped sway my desicion, like
- Bored out turbo. Now moves .60 over the stock .45 cm/s.
- 3.0 bar fuel pressure regulator, balanced 24# injectors.
- Spent silly amounts of time running slicone vac hose everywhere.
- Don't forget the K&N drop in air filter.
- Sweet stereo and 2 12" subs in the back, and
- 261K on the odometer.
- I lowered it too. Bilsteins with SAS red springs.
Not to mention that I really really love this car. So I gotta do some work to my RF fender, and replace the motor mounts- again (doing quasi's motor mount mod this time). Anyone have a torque rod bushing R & R tool that they would care to loan me?
