Opelitus cured?

Being diagnosed with acute stage 4 Opelitus by forum members, I had only one option left....I bought a blue 1974 Opel Manta! I am having it shipped from California to here in Pa, scheduled to arrive on Monday. The anticipation of my first Opel is incredible (must be the male version of childbirth).

Welcome to the group. I'm about 45 minutes from you and there are pleanty of member surrounding you. We have members in Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware Counties and quite a few in NJ.

Congrats on your Purchase. Mantas are fun cars, I've owned 2, a Raylle and a Luxus. We have one member who has an orginal Manta in Delaware Co. so you can look at his car to answer any quesitons you have. You are in good company here. He is very knowlegable Again, Welcome

As you found out, there is no cure for Opelitis. The only medication you can take is working and finding out as much as you can about these cars and coming to the events where fermented beverages are served.

There is no cure. Some people just under estimate the dormancy period of Opelitis.
