It still has CA plates because, as the non-owner I can't even get local plates. I'm kind of looking forward to it leaving the scene of the crime and the cops chasing her down. Which won't happen. Still, she's had 3 cars catch fire and burn to a crisp. I'm kinda happy I am no longer the one supporting her car habit.<br /><br />HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-22657067013791991202020-12-15T18:04:37.664-05:002020-12-15T18:04:37.664-05:00We were a ford family.

My father, the head of the large calibre labs drove the old ford fairlane to work one morning and called home for a ride home since it wouldn't start. It stayed there in the parking slot reserved for the head of the large calibre labs for months while the chevy chevettes ruled New Jersey. Finally, his deputy came to the house and asked to buy the car. He was willing to go to $600.00 but agreed to knock $30.00 off for skillfull bargaining. My dad worked with some amazing all rounders. Scientists, scholars, warriors and soldiers.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-80834728366205002352020-12-15T17:56:04.244-05:002020-12-15T17:56:04.244-05:00I like ol clunkers that you can actually work on y...I like ol clunkers that you can actually work on yourself. I never wanted to get rid of my ol ford, I don't think she wanted that to happen either. Sadly, shortly after I sold her, she died in a fiery crash.

Last year with the six volt battery (birthday candles for headlights), it was a joy to work on. Simply open the hood and the engine was literally in your face.<br /><br />Three dials on the dashboard, the speedometer had a battery and brake fluid light on bottom and that was it. Gas gauge in center, a hazard light, window wiper controls and headlight pull controls. Heater was in center near parking brake and after car would warm up threatened to melt your tennis shoe soles.<br /><br />Power nothing, no A/C either. Damn good car, reliable as hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
