swimming, i wouldn't put it past a chick
And yeah, i'm pretty darn sure that it was the 89-94's that had the harness issue. The 4th gen is basically a completely reengineered car. It got an entirely new harness design along with the drivetrain. I could be wrong because i'm no VG expert, but i believe the VG had/has a heatsoak problem which contributed dramatically to the harness problems.
