Answers
1. False. In some cars, the brake warning light and the parking brake light share the same bulb. This means that the light may be warning you of something more serious, like a loss of hydraulic brake fluid. 2. False. Road tar and oil on the wiper blade, as well as hardened and cracked blade rubber can prevent proper contact with the windshield surface. Replace blades every six months and check washer fluid monthly. 3. True. The cause could be anything from a low battery charge to a loose alternator belt. 4. True. While the front wheels should be aligned periodically, some vehicles, such as those with independent rear suspension, require that the rear wheels be aligned, as well. 5. True. A low brake pedal also could be the result of a leak in the hydraulic system or maladjusted brake shoes.

I finally found a very reasonably priced "cherry" 1993 300ZX from the original owner in Sarasota. She was in her seventies, and had bought it new. It is a nearly perfect, stereotypical "little old lady car". Even the leather interior is indistinguishable from new, and it runs great! As a professional artist I just love this car's style - timeless!

I plan to keep it mostly original, but I did order a camber kit from RockAuto to correct tire wear, since the Z car's isn't adjustable. My local repair shop put them on without a problem.

Thanks,
