RAY: Will, try putting a new fuel-pump relay in your Acura. Modern cars have anti-lock braking systems, electronic stability control, air bags, crumple zones, reinforced doors, padded dashboards. But if youвЂ™re planning to drive this thing miles a day, in traffic, IвЂ™d argue against it. RAY: Will, if you plan to drive it 500 miles a year or less, and are willing to drive only between 3 and 4 in the morning, when thereвЂ™s no traffic, then IвЂ™d say fine. TOM: Well, what if he just wants to drive it around town? But if you have to actually drive this car, and itвЂ™s necessary for you to actually be places at specific times, I think this is a bad idea, Will. RAY: Well, it was fine for my brother, because his daily driving consists mostly of puttering half a mile up to his favorite coffee shop and sitting there until the owner throws him out, and then driving back home.

It started every day, and never gave me a momentвЂ™s trouble вЂ“ until my then-teenage son decided to stop short in front of a city snowplow, and turn it into a snub-nosed subcompact. TOM: You might not know this, Will, but until just a few years ago, I owned a beautiful 1963 Dodge Dart convertible, which I loved. RAY: And weвЂ™re glad to hear that all the therapy we recommended has worked, and Peter has finally been able to let go of that thing. Peter DeFazio grabbed us, dragged us through the halls of Congress, and insisted that we come out to the parking lot behind the Capitol so he could show off his Dodge Dart. We were visiting the Capitol a few years ago to attend a soiree for the benefit of National Public Radio.

TOM: WeвЂ™ve actually seen that very car, Will. It was owned from 1983 to 2003 by Peter DeFazio, the congressman from OregonвЂ™s 4th Congressional District. Fewer parts means less can go wrong, right?Д«y the way, the car has an interesting history. Recently while looking for a Subaru or something to replace the Acura, I came across a 1963 Dodge Dart thatвЂ™s up for sale.Д«ecause itвЂ™s old, I figure itвЂ™s got to be very simple. Then I bought an Acura thatвЂ™s a nice-looking car, but didnвЂ™t like to start. IвЂ™ve been stricken with car problems ever since moving to a new city.ДЇirst I had a VW Eurovan that was great all winter, but needed a $2,000 air-conditioning unit in summer.
