[DeTomaso] NPC: The slow drive home Monday night.

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well, I can't say for certain, but probably overdue maintenance.

The odometer reads just over 155,000 miles.  I've owned it for about 
five years.  It had just over 106K when I purchased it, and the woman 
told me the timing belt had been changed not too long back.

So my guess is, it was due, maybe even overdue.  I have to admit, timing 
belts don't thrill me, and I end up forgetting they need maintenance.
