Re: [T3] Pros and Cons of Sitting Square

<x-flowed>Lori=> 2+ years. What are the pros and cons of getting a car
=> up and running after that length of time?

Two years isn't long at all, really. If it was put away with a fair 
amount of fuel in it you may have no hassle at all. If the fuel dried in 
the tank there may be some cleaning involved to get the fuel system 
unstuck. If this happened in a humid climate there may be some rust in 
the tank. But you can't really diagnose any of that without diving in.

Change the oil and fuel filter, put a battery and some some fresh fuel 
in it and start it up. The FI people will tell you how to listen for the 
relay clicks.

Don't believe it about the 59K miles, plan on 159. That way if you get a 
surprise, it'll be a happy one.

Previous failure on the brake adjustment may indicate bigger issues than 
adjustment.
