Thanks to all the netters that reponded to my Saab oil problem...
it was the turbo. As the beast had 89,000 miles, and the struts
were shot, et al, we traded it in. Oh well, it was truly a
nice car, no drama at high speed, but it cost too much to 
maintain. I certainly won't be buying any more Saabs until
they get their prices buck down to the stratosphere. The turbo
5-door is a sweet machine, biut 23,0000? come on.

Anyway, it is now time to paint the other four-wheeler in the
family, the '66 GTO...

Through a friend, I can get the whole shot (paint, reducer, primer
sealer and color coats) free, so long as it is enamel.
I've heard that with enamel, though, what you spray is
what you get, i.e., not wet sanding of color coats, no 
rubbing out to improve the finish. I've paint four or five cars 
before, but always used laquer. I like the ability to "improve"
the paint-job after the fact, and m curious to know
if youp can, in fact, sand and rub-out an enamel finish.

Thanks for your help.
