        If it has a good yellow grill, would like to buy it.

                Ah yes...a yellow '90. I found one once, and pulled a bunch of parts off it, including a split rear seat and one fairly nice headrest. No tach though.

                I've also had the good luck to find TWO Aspire SEs in the same yard within a year, which is why I have two sets of Aspire alloys.

                Lucky in junkyards, unlucky in love. That's me.
