We've had a week of 100+ temps.
It runs slow... then starts/stops then starts. Have to reset every time I get in the car. Ugh, just annoying.
Which Sambanista repairs quartz clocks (I know about Overseas and North Hollywood).

Going to get an estimate from them and Overseas.
Question: can I drive the car while the clock is out and getting repaired?
Aside from the gas gauge, is there anything "important" that I need to worry about?

Other than covering the wiring connectors so nothing shorts out I can’t see any danger.
I admire your ethic.
I hate it when things don’t work too.

Just got my clock back from Clock Works... add another enthusiastic thumbs-up!
The only scary part was making sure all 14 wires were labeled and went back on the right way (got a little hairy w/the gas gauge wiring).
Ahhh, nothing like a a clock that's accurate!
