Agree with the above!

Just a little cautionary tale: In August 2007,  I got from its original owner
a Bricklin that had been sitting  22 years in a garage in so Cal.  It had been
well maintained, and was in good condition before being stored. It is amazing
how much the car deteroriated just sitting in that garage.  I have spent close
to $20,000 in repairs to his day, and I still don't trust the Bricklin not to
break down - it did so the last three times I took it out (rusty fuel tank
problem). Maybe I was just unlucky, maybe not.
