I've reconsidered the situation; The Crown Vic is in the shop for a new A/C compressor, Accumulator and R134 conversion. The Porsche is in the shop being painted. The Ford Explorer that my nephew abandoned here 55 days ago when he got a 2001 Jetta has blown a torque converter seal. I've got to pick up materials to build a 10x20 Storage building and I'll need the Smosemobile land yacht a little longer. We could open discussion on how to convert a 86 Olds 350 cid to a FI system. I don't know anybody local to loan me a Vanagon to haul my heavy building materials. I would never take the simple route and just have them delivered .............. just way too easy.

It's been a good car for 167K but it's now just a $700.00 note lot car. I'd like to get about $3000.00 from the insurance company.

Fire started under the hood, and once it got going it was a hot one. Fire department came and put it out. Car was in a drive-up snack shop. Guy went inside, came out started engine.... whummp!! Instant fire all over the place. Check those fuel lines!!!!! It must be the season... A nice silver mercedes convertible went up in flames downtown on wednesday. We were approaching an intersection and the car was on the other side, nose end in the driveway of a gas station. Flames were just pouring out of the hood area... The fire department was only a block away, but by the time they got there and put it out it was probably totalled. Check those fuel lines!!!!! Pop Quiz... *Do you have a good fire extinguisher in your van?* I have one in every vehicle I own and several spread around the house and garage. They are SO cheap compared to the cost of a fire.... I've never had to use an extinguisher on any of my own vehicles, but I used one to put out a nice lady's VW beetle in Oakland in about 1980, and again used one to extinguish a chevy camaro in Santa Rosa about 10 years ago. Don't leave home without it folks! You never know when you'll need it '86 Westy "Escape Pod" ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
