The review charts the main achievements, as well as projects, finance and publications of Wetlands International during 2009. Furthermore, it highlights our work in relation to the Copenhagen Climate summit and a personal story from one of our projects. New this year is also our Climate Neutrality Report, as promised in last year's Annual Review.
Nous avons décidé d'en faire une tradition pour partager avec vous les secrets et les angoisses des zones humides, pour vous inviter à nous rejoindre dans cette formidable aventure de conservation de la vie sur terre pour les générations futures. Nous avons le plaisir de vous présenter le rapport annuel 2009. We have chosen to make it a tradition to share with you the secrets and the problems of wetlands and we invite you to join us in this great adventure of preserving life on Earth for future generations. It is our pleasure to present to you the 2009 annual report.
These are videos of the two modules on Manatee Monitoring Training Module that provide a training on how to do manatee monitoring. Documented at the Saloum Delta Workshop on Manatee Monitoring in May 2010 in Senegal by Sander Carpay, Communications Officer, Wetlands International Africa.
This newsletter covers outcomes that have resulted from the UNEP-GEF African-Eurasian Flyways Project also known as the Wings Over Wetlands Project (WOW). The newsletter highlights the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between the lead project partners to strengthen the conservation of waterbirds and wetlands, the launch of the Flyway Training Kit which is a capacity building resource that provides a flyway approach to conservation of migratory waterbirds and their habitats and the Critical Site Network tool that provides an access to information on waterbird species and their sites covered by the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA).
The new Flyway Training Kit is a one-of-a-kind resource in flyway-scale conservation and represents an important step towards meeting core strategic objectives of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and AEWA. This innovative conservation tool by Wetlands International and partners is designed to build capacity to plan, implement, monitor and engage in effective flyway-scale conservation of migratory waterbirds and wetland habitats in Africa and Eurasia.
This paper highlights the role of specific wetlands for climate change adaptation. It iis made for the meeting of the UN FCCC 'Nairobi Working Programme' on climate change adaptation in Madrid, April 2010.
This newsletter covers some available Single Species Action Plans; reports on two trainings: one in Maputo, Mozambique (on a national wetland and waterbird monitoring course) and the other in Limbe, Cameroon (on a flyway scale capacity building in wetland and waterbird management course). There are two calls: One requesting waterbird experts to participate in the consultation process of the Critical Site Network Tool development and the other requesting participation in the Slender-billed Curlew survey and searches.
This book presents a baseline of information that helps understanding of how WASH and wetland service provision are connected, why these linkages are vital and how they can be better managed. Furthermore, the publication presents a set of principles to be taken on by sector professionals as a way forward to improve integration in the future. The publication is the result of an ongoing collaboration between individuals and organisations from the wetland conservation sector and the water supply, sanitation and hygiene sector.

Livelihood and water-related diseases are strongly linked to wetland management. The majority of wetland stakeholders in the Inner Niger Delta, Mali considered human health and sanitation the most important criteria of a list of challenges and water-related pressures. Yet, a methodology to integrate health risks and opportunities into wetland management plans has previously not been proposed, despite the clear links and substantial real-life challenges. In this paper, a framework is presented to do this in data-poor context structured around the process to evaluate and prioritise the appropriateness of management options to improve human health.
Sierra Leone's coastal and marine biodiversity faces many threats ranging from habitat destruction, climate change (coastal erosion, flooding and droughts), hunting, collection of sea turtle eggs, to land use change as a result of agriculture and settlement and fish stock overexploitation. However, there are initiatives already addressing some of these issues for some time.
Prévenir la mal-adaptation: Protéger et restaurer les zones humides pour s'adapter au changement climatique, le poster d'Aldo Suryadiputra et l'équipes de communication du HQ et WIA.
"Prevent mal-adaptation: protect and restore wetlands to adapt to climate change" is the title of this double-sided cartoon postcard explaining how wetlands serve to mitigate impacts and thereby help to adapt to climate change.
The postcard is in landscape showing two windows: a well-adjusted wetland with happy well-fed people and liveliy biodiversity. On the other side a big dam is built, where animals and people suffer.
The title of this poster is "Peatland loss fuels climate change". It is a cartoon showing the conversion of peatlands into palm oil plantation, which causes the relases of CO2 through burning practices as well as oxidation of the peat soil from the deforestation and drainage. The palm oil company employee has his pockets filled with dollars, stating "We plant oil palm to save the climate, and get REDD and biofuels subsidies".

This 6-page brochure demonstrates how wetlands in a healthy, intact condition can greatly contribute to attenuate the water related impacts of climate change. Due to their ability to store and slowly release water, these wetlands are a vital lifeline in periods of extreme droughtsWetlands International urges governments, development organisations and finance institutions to integrate wetlands into climate change adaptation strategies. .
This video shows how Wetlands International and partners in Zambia and Malawi have improved the management of seasonal wetlands or Dambos and thereby have improved livelihood conditions of local communities living in them.
Newsletter for national waterbird monitoring coordinators and observers of the International Waterbird Census - Western Palearctic and Southwest Asia. This is the special Slender-billed Curlew issue!
Wetlands International Africa and IUCN are combining their efforts within the PRCM to promote a wiser use of mangrove resources. The unique functions and values of mangroves sustain a high level of biological productivity which is extremely profitable to both animal species and human beings. This ecosystem, rich with species of flora and fauna, plays an important ecological and economic role for countries along the West African coast.
Under the PRCM umbrella, Wetlands International Africa brought together many international partners and led the development process of the manatee conservation strategy, with the support of the Abidjan Convention.
This is the second edition of the African Waterbird Census newsletter. The main purpose of this newsletter is to facilitate communication in the African Waterbird Census (AfWC) network. This newsletter is produced by the Wetlands International Africa Office.
The Annual Review 2008 charts the main achievements, as well as projects, finance and publications of Wetlands International during 2008. Furthermore, it highlights our work in relation to climate change adaptation and on incentive mechanisms for community-based wetland management. As you can read in the Achievements and projects sections of this review, Wetlands International was highly active in all regions during 2008. The outcomes that we achieved in 2008 are important in themselves, but most are just steps towards much longer-term goals to bring about lasting benefits to people and nature.
This brochure provides a base for decisions regarding the use of water of the Upper Niger. The brochure presents facts about proposed and existing dams and on the costs and benefits, winners and losers.
Wetlands International has a long standing history in investigating the role of wetlands in relation to water provision and supplies, flood pervention and increasing coastal resilience to extreme weather events. This factsheet on this role of wetlands in adapting to climate change was made for the UNFCCC Climate Talks in Bonn, June 2009.
This book draws on the experiences of four projects (in Indonesia, Kenya, Zambia/Malawi and Mali) that combined conservation and development goals. The four projects demonstrated – each in a different way – how improving livelihoods and conserving wetlands can go hand in hand. The book tells the story of the problems that the individual projects faced, and how they were addressed. In addition, there is a review of seven other wetland-based projects from around the world.
The Wader Atlas is a compilation of current knowledge of the numbers, distribution and movements of one of the most remarkable groups of birds in the region covered by the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). Long-term waterbird count data have been combined with an extensive literature review, especially published results of bird ringing and national bird atlases, to produce maps showing the population boundaries that are used as a basis of the conservation of these species.
Cette stratégie de conservation sert de source de référence actuelle et exhaustive pour la situation du Lamantin ouest africain dans son aire de distribution naturelle qui s'étend du sud de la Mauritanie à l'Angola en direction du Sud. Le rapport identifie en outre les principales menaces qui pèsent sur l'espèce et met en relief les actions de conservation prioritaires et les recommandations formulées par les pays de la sous-région.
This Strategy provides a current and comprehensive reference source for the status of the West African manatee in its natural range spanning from southern Mauritania southwards to Angola. It further identifies the main threats to the species, highlights priority conservation actions and recommendations made by the countries of the sub-region.
Bio-rights is an innovative financing mechanism for reconciling poverty alleviation and environmental conservation. By providing micro-credits for sustainable development, the approach enables local communities to refrain from unsustainable practices and be actively involved in environmental conservation and restoration. Micro-credits are converted into definitive payments upon successful delivery of conservation services at the end of a contracting period.
This video shows images from the Inner Niger Delta in Mali, Africa and interviews with local farmers and fishermen and women on how the water of the Niger River can be better used and how climate change has an impact on their livelihoods.

This video shows how collective water management can prevent conflict and improve water availability, use for agriculture and other aims in the Kimana wetlands at the foot of the Kilimanjaro in Kenya, Africa.
Our Annual Review 2007 covers our global organisation and presents the financial information, all our projects, publications and achievements. Wetlands International clearly demonstrated in 2007 the important role it can play as a science-based organisation that can act as a global witness - bringing key facts from the field to the attention of policy-makers. A good example of this was our role in highlighting and quantifying the role of wetlands and especially peatlands as the worlds' biggest natural terrestrial carbon stores – and demonstrating that through restoration of damaged wetlands we can cost-effectively reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and even halt and reverse them, through carbon sequestration. Equally our role in a number of global and regional projects addressing the avian influenza threat has been to provide data on waterbirds and wetlands so as to contribute to the understanding of how the disease spreads, analyse risks and help countries to make preparations for an outbreak.
Le présent rapport décrit le contexte et la genèse des forêts inondées du Delta Intérieur du Niger, leur importance pour les populations et pour la nature, et leurs populations ichtyologiques et aviaires. Par ailleurs, il donne un aperçu complet de l'état actuel des forêts ainsi qu'un plan stratégique pour la restauration et la protection de ces forêts pour l'avenir.
This video highlights two cases of Zambia and Malawi on how better water management can go hand in hand with poverty reduction. It shows the importance of wise use of dambos (seasonally flooded grasslands) for the communities that live around them.
This recommendation brochure is the culmination of a lengthy process of exchanges and discussions between wetlands and ibodiversity specialists, representatives of government agencies and ministries, and representatives of non-governmental organisations and key environmental institutions from five countries (Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Mali).
This publication sets the global standard in presenting estimates of the numbers and trends of waterbird populations throughout the world. This fourth edition provides a comprehensive update on information last provided in 2002 and summarizes population data on 878 waterbird species. Please download as it is out of print
The African Waterbird Census (AfWC) has taken place in the month of January and July every year since 1991. During the April 2001 - March 2004 period, a total of 40 countries took an active part in the African Waterbird Census activities, and 1050 wetlands were covered at least once (cdrom available).
Les dénombrements des oiseaux d'eau en Afrique sont entrepris chaque année aux mois de janvier et juillet depuis 1991. Durant la période d'avril 2001 à mars 2004, un total de 40 pays ont pris part activement aux activités du dénombrement des oiseaux d'eau en Afrique, et 1050 zones humides ont été couverts au moins une fois (disponible en cdrom).
Cet « Atlas du Bassin du fleuve Niger », édité avec l'appui technique du World Wildlife Fund (WWF), est consacré à faire mieux connaître l'importance de ces ressources du bassin. Il constitue un guide de découverte du bassin du Niger à travers une série de cartes thématiques dont les principales donnent un aperçu des sites d'importance en matière de diversité biologique et pour la sécurité alimentaire.
In 2020, Africa is expected to produce a relatively small but substantial part of the global biofuel demand. Millions of hectares will be turned into large scale biofuel plantations.
Especially natural areas of wetlands and rainforest – the hotspots for biodiversity - are vulnerable for this development.
Le PRCM est un partenariat entre la Fondation internationale du Banc d'Arguin (FIBA), l'Union mondiale pour la Nature (UICN), Wetlands international, le WWF et la Commission sous régionale des Pêches (CSRP). Le PRCM qui couvre sept pays côtiers de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (Mauritanie, Sénégal, Gambie, Guinée, Guinée Bissau, Cap Vert et Sierra Leone) a pour objectif de coordonner les efforts de conservation développés sur le littoral des pays concernés.
This leaflet promotes the Striking a Balance (SAB) approach, which seeks to address the widespread and growing pressures on wetlands in Africa from agricultural and other uses. It focuses on the way in which natural resources need to be valued by communities if they are to be used sustainably. In this way the value obtained from the wetland motivates communities to undertake management practices which will enhance and sustain it. However, such uses have to be based on a sound understanding of how wetlands function, especially the functional landscape approach, and how they should be managed through community institutions.
A film by Wetlands International in which we explain and demonstrate how conservation and restoration of wetlands can be a cost-effective strategy for climate adaption. The film shows how restoring mangroves and other coastal nature can reduce the impacts of climate change such as extreme storms and sea level rise.
When wetlands are in a healthy, intact condition, they can greatly contribute to increasing our resilience to the impacts of climate change. Wetlands International presents in this brochure 3 cases how wetlands can play a significant role in adaptation to climate change.

Cook Time:

This is a recipe I developed by combining a few together, and it is one of my husband's favorite things that I make. If I am eating this, I cook the sausage on the side. At the end, I pull out a portion of jambalaya for myself and add the sausage to the rest for everyone else. Keep an eye on it after you add the rice. The jambalaya recipes I've used in the past don't add water, but I usually have to add some so the rice has enough liquid to absorb.

Movement Toward Drilling in Arctic Long Overdue; Nearly Six Years of Delays Underscore Need for ReformAugust 31, 2012 | Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC – After enduring nearly six years of opposition and an unnecessarily grueling permitting process, Shell is poised to begin energy exploration in Alaska's Arctic waters as early as next week. The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced that preliminary work may commence on a single well in the Chukchi sea, but final permits to allow for drilling still have yet to be issued.
Energy independence is within our grasp, America Fox News By Rep. Fred Upton August 24, 2012 Over the past decade, American energy supply has undergone a remarkable transformation.

Pumped-storage technology allows utilities to defer the time value of energy, but project developers have struggled to make their economics work. Increased demand for ancillary services and standby capacity might make pumped storage more viable.
Bruce W. Radford
Money may be difficult to come by for Wall Street financiers in these dark days, but apparently not for electric transmission construction—at least so far. A rash of recent orders from FERC shows that generous financial incentives remain available to companies seeking to expand the nation's grid capacity.

Uncertainties about smart metering goals are hindering efforts to standardize communications protocols and feature sets. While vendors battle over standards, utilities and policy makers are moving forward anyway—despite the potential for setbacks.
Who says ratepayers must accept the traditional measure of electric reliability—a single one-hour outage every ten years? If shown the bill ahead of time, might they decide otherwise; that such luxury is no longer affordable? Consumers are making similar decisions about gasoline and mortgages. Why not electricity?
Bob Ford, et al.
The era of easily available, affordable energy rapidly is ending and our society is realizing that our energy infrastructure is severely inadequate to supply the energy demands of the future. The major issue facing the sector today is how to fund and deliver this new climate-friendly infrastructure, which is currently estimated will cost almost $2 trillion between now and 2030.

Photovoltaic technologies are beginning to appear more attractive than concentrated solar thermal plants. PV's competitiveness is improving from technical and operational advancements, as well as significant commitments made by such utilities as Southern California Edison. In the long run, distributed central PV plants likely will gain a strong market position.
Regarding "Transmission Rights Row:" While technological advances and the development of fiber optic communications was not foreseen by utilities companies when they executed easement agreements for transmission rights of way, the tremendous escalation of land values, especially near some metropolitan areas, may not have been foreseen by the easement grantors.

"Journalism" is not a word one should attach to the now, thankfully, defunct News of the World. It certainly didn't practice the type of journalism we here at the C-I engage in ... and never will, I might add.

C. H. "Herb" Leaird, CEO of Black River Electric Cooperative, Inc., recently wrote, "Do you have a recollection of when electric power was extended to the Cassatt area? We want to assemble a more accurate history of Black River Electric Cooperative, Inc. Will you help us in Kershaw County?"

An MSNBC commentator is in the doghouse over a mildly obscene on-air criticism of President Barack Obama. Fair enough. But, to me his language was less obscene than his suggestion that Obama was getting a too uppity with GOP budget negotiators.

WASHINGTON -- News that Pope Francis will visit the U.S. next year for the triennial World Meeting of Families brings elation to Catholics, excitement to pope watchers -- and perhaps a little chagrin to some who too soon interpreted Francis' broad compassion as a precursor to doctrinal changes related to marriage.
This space in the Friday edition of the Chronicle-Independent each week is where I am allowed to share my personal stories, opinions and basically whatever is on my mind as I write this column. I know I complain about a lot of things and, eventually, the time may come when I have covered everything that aggravates me and the rest of the columns in my career won't be the kind where you can imagine me pounding my fist on my desk as you read them. But, if that day ever does come, it's a long way off.
In 2008, a group of graduate students from the University of South Carolina's Public History Program produced a study entitled, "The Camden African-American Heritage Project." It was the product of a student group assignment conducted in 2005-06. The students were assisted by many Camden residents in their search for the history of African-Americans in Camden from the Colonial period through the era of civil rights. Though able to spend only one semester researching and writing, the students pulled together an admirable overview of the lives of African-Americans here. In their final recommendations they suggested, among other things, that an ...
I try to live life as a journey full of unknown destinations. And I do believe it is the journey that matters most. During the last year, I was blessed enough to experience a journey throughout our wonderful state of South Carolina. A campaign for governor is a journey through the hearts and souls of many people and places. A statewide campaign is sometimes brutal and sometimes joyful, but never dull. I treasure that journey and thank my friends in Camden and Kershaw County for letting me experience it.
WASHINGTON -- Millennials are foolhardy spendthrifts. But young people basically always are, and that's probably OK.
I used to have high and/or specific expectations for everything. I was never cynical. As a matter of fact, I was the most optimistic person I knew.

November 4 is past, and statewide elections have been decided. As I have discussed in earlier columns, I am always intrigued, and even a little amused, with the amount of rhetoric that is aimed at education during election time. Now that the votes have been cast, there are a lot of important educational issues hanging in the air that will need to be resolved by newly elected office holders. The decisions made will have significant and lasting impact.

Hurricanes and Socialism
by Jacob G. Hornberger
Two articles in the
New York Times
last week exemplify perfectly why our nation is in such bad shape. Both articles concerned the devastation from Hurricane Sandy. The first was a
editorial, entitled "
A Big Storm Requires Big Government
." The other article was in the form of an op-ed entitled "
Grover Cleveland's Hurricane
" by Matthew Algeo.
The thrust of both pieces was that Hurricane Sandy proved that the nation really needs big government in general and FEMA in particular. Without FEMA and big government, the argument goes, there is no way that people in a free society could cope with emergencies and crises.
Actually, however, in the process of praising FEMA, Algeo did Americans a great service. He criticized President Grover Cleveland for having denied federal disaster relief to hurricane victims in the latter part of the 19th century. He also pointed out that Cleveland vetoed a welfare bill for Texas farmers who were suffering a severe drought.
Why is that a service to Americans? Because it bursts the myth that is inculcated into every American schoolchild — that America's system has always been the same. Americans are made to believe that myth because the last thing statists want them to do is to start wondering why our American ancestors chose a different system than the one that modern-day Americans chose. In fact, in their haste to publish an article criticizing Grover Cleveland and his selfishness, I can't help but wonder if the
failed to realize that the article it was publishing, at the same time, was bursting one of the government's most prized myths.
As Algeo implicitly points out, Americans have lived under two different economic systems and social orders. Our American ancestors chose a way of life in which everyone kept everything he earned. There was no income tax. That wasn't an accident. Our ancestors believed that a free society necessarily entailed the right of people to keep the fruits of their earnings.
There was also no requirement that people do the "right" thing with their money. They were free to do whatever they wanted with it. They could save, donate, invest, or spend it. The choice was theirs. Our ancestors believed that that's part of what living in a free society is all about.
Cleveland's position simply reflected what America was once all about — what a free society was once all about. As Algeo points out, Cleveland stated, "Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character." That's not only what Cleveland believed. It was the philosophy that undergirded American society through the 1800s.
Not so today. Having born and raised under a welfare state, many Americans believe they are entitled to be taken care of by the government, When things go wrong, the first response is, "I have a right to federal money," which is really nothing more than saying, "I have a right to your money, thanks to the taxing power of the IRS and the welfare function of the federal bureaucracies."
What happened before Americans adopted the income-tax, welfare-state way of life? When government was prohibited from taking care of people, people responded by figuring out ways to help others. But unlike the welfare state, which is founded on force, Americans relied on the voluntary actions of people. They believed that that was what genuine charity was all about.
In fact, Algeo himself alludes to this phenomenon. When Cleveland refused to provide federal money for the hurricane victims, Algeo tells us what happened: "Into the void stepped Clara Barton, the 72-year-old nurse who had founded the American Red Cross 12 years earlier. Almost single-handedly, Ms. Barton organized relief efforts — distributing food and clothing and supervising the construction of new homes (first for widows and the infirm). Her heroic work, especially in the South, saved countless thousands from disease and starvation."
Imagine that! One person accomplishing so much! And think about this: If Americans had embraced statism from the start of the nation, there never would have been a Red Cross. After all, why would Clara Barton have started the Red Cross if the government was already serving a paternalistic role in American life?
So what happened? What caused the system to change?
American statists hated the principles of economic liberty on which America had been founded. They hated the idea that people should be free to keep the fruits of their earnings and decide what to do with them. They wanted a system in which the government confiscated people's income and wealth and redistributed it to others. Although today they hate the label, back then many statists didn't mind being called socialists. They knew that that's what they were.
Over time, the statists prevailed. They were able to engraft their cancerous philosophy onto America's constitutional order. They got their income tax amendment in 1913. They got their Federal Reserve Act in the same year. And then Franklin Roosevelt, seizing upon an economic crisis, one that had been caused by the Fed, ushered in the socialist, fascist, interventionist system under which we now live, all under the false pretense that he was "saving free enterprise."
And then there is the out-of-control federal spending, which increasingly saddles the American people with ever-growing federal debt. But of course, every time someone suggests that federal spending be curtailed even by a tiny percentage, the statists rise up and scream in horror, "Oh, no, the nation couldn't survive if that particular dole is reduced!"
It's no different with FEMA. Algeo and the
suggest that FEMA is one of those vitally important agencies whose budget could never be reduced, much less ended. But wouldn't they say the same about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies, education grants, auto bailouts, the FDIC, and every other socialistic program? Would they say that even a minute reduction in the budgets of the CIA, the military, and the rest of the warfare state would grievously threaten "national security"?
Except for libertarians, the welfare state has severely damaged the principles of self-reliance, can-do, and independence within the American people. Algeo and the
' editorial board provide irrefutable proof that Cleveland was right: Federal aid has encouraged the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and has certainly weakened the sturdiness of our national character."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 140,650overall rating 6 of 10rating details
Pros: "fun to drive, fairly comfortable & warm in winter."
Cons: "rain drips on seats & carpet when doors are open"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"The car was bought with139,500 mi. with a fully new exhaust system & an old replacement top that does not leak, but roof design causes rain to drip onto seats & carpet when doors are opened. Previous owner replaced passenger power window motor, but the lifting mechanism has worn out causing the tracking to skew causing it to fail again. I bought 15 in. alloy Mopar wheels & the best MichelinM&S tires, to replace the 14 in. premium cast alloy wheels & Chinese tires [for looks & safety]. It is a 15 foot car, looking new from that distance. There is no rust anywhere at all except tiny spots of surface rust where there is chipped paint or where there is minimal paint under the hood. I had to replace the original master brake cylinder & rear brake cylinders fully & front brake hoses, starter, original shocks & front struts. The usual, plugs, filters, fluids, hoses,light bulbs, wipers, alignment, for maintenance. 25-28 mpg for city [minimal] & freeway [mostly] driving. Good handling & steering & braking. Front seats could be more comfortable [but they are 20 years old & still in very good condition] I may replace the top & chipped windshield & when I'm rich [ha-ha] rebuild the engine, but it will probably last another 200,000 miles. So far the transmission is performing fine, as is the heat, but the A/C needs to be recharged as it is barely cold. I'll keep this Shadow, till I die or it dies beyond normal resuscitation, & trade my van or wagon before I sell this. It's almost as much fun as my old Austin Healey 4 seater, & has more back seat room, way bigger trunk & better ground clearance. I may get a LOUDER horn."

"Bought new Jan 1990. ES Turbo model, 2.5 engine. Over 273,000 miles, finally needs oil pump. Still gets 30mpg. Fuel pump, clutch, radiator, brakes have been replaced. Still get over 30mpg. Drivers door window doesn't work anymore, my fault trying to open frozen shut window. Nothing wrong with the car, runs in minus to plus heat. Can't buy another of this quality."

Pros: ""runs forever""
Cons: "A-604 trans"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"Bought the car used. Third owner. Faults when I got it were from poor quality body shop repairs, no manufacturing. Other the the normal issue with an A-604 transaxle, the car is a die hard. More get up and go than the car needs. With ground effects and a 12 spoiler it looks like a baby "Daytona" satelitte. I got it from our parts manager at the time. With normal maintenance done the car runs and runs and runs. installed aftermarket wheels and painted for my son's first car. Had an 88 and would still be driving it if I didn't need a pick up. Well maintained, you can't go wrong, no matter how old."
