When did he ditch the GT? kind of silly to buy a car, give it back, buy it back, then get rid of it again.
It broke down *constantly*, and I can tell you because I live near him, that car isn't made for the roads around here. It's far too wide and far too low (roads here being frequently narrow and bumpy). I think he also had issues with the 'bonging' noise some American cars seem to make whenever you do anything in them.
Ohh yeah, I forgot he re-bought it. I've got no idea whether he still has it or not, I read most of his output and haven't heard anything about it for a long time. It wasn't just the alarm, though. The GT had a tendency not to start.
