toocrazy-I did the on-base auto shop thing too! NAS Albany, Ga., we didn't anything as big as that but it was still pretty handy. I miss the Exchange prices too, but I'll bet they aren't near what we remember.
Presently around 65K on the Accent, very pleased with it, bought it cheap to supplement my van, sold my van, put on some roof carrier brackets and built a trailer hitch, now it does the heavy hauling when I go to my Antique Outboard club meets. I have the old school 12V. 1.5, seems pretty torqey, and empty and speeds around 65 mph. I'm getting just over 40 mpg. Life is good!
