Good move, Alex. Since nobody smokes anymore, a full ashtray can no
longer be relied upon to let us know when it's time for a new car. Noisy
speedometer cables should serve nicely, though. :-)

Should I let my wife know it is time to buy her a paddle-shift 6-speed
automatic NC to replace her noisy '90 speedometer cable? Good lord, I would
love to.

Well I was close to getting an NC, but the dealers out here in Vegas
think I wanted to gamble with my buying a car from them. ...but they
lost the hand and my money went somewhere else! I'm really glad I did
because I love the fact that there isn't too much difference in the NB
from my NA. I can tell the gas mileage is a little off, but it's nice
having a quiet car that has lots of nice features...

If the speedo cable were the true indicator, I should have gotten a new
car a great many miles ago (at least back into 1999, too). Cold WI
winters made that cable squeal!!! Being in a warmer climate helped some,
but not all the time...

Ken you should work on the wife a little - it is much easier to take the
car in for warranty work than climb under it in the garage (or parking
lot in my case) and try to fix it!! ;-)
