I wish I had my Dad's old Rambler Classic now...it wasn't fancy but he could fix anything on it himself and did not need to read the codes from the CANbus to figure out what ailed it.

Worked with some damn good engineers from Michigan Tech. One said because it got so cold the beer would freeze, you might as well study.

One of my friends was an EMT that knew rescue/recovery divers that worked in Michigan.
The joke up there was “You Go Over, we go under.”

4x4 and 1 ton axles that’s alright with me.
I poke at my K5 and jeeps.

I got the last of the mechanical 7.3 turbos.. built in 5 of 1994.. in 6 of 1994 Ford went to the power stroke and all it’s computers.
with a manual transmission behind it, it requires 12 volts to open the fuel shut off at the mechanical pump. as long as you have that, she’ll run.

"And bring back keys for the ignition."No kidding. I don't realize any advantage with a 'fob.'

They told us where the car plants are. They didn’t mention where the chip plants are.

When they do get the chips for the trucks I wonder what kind of deals there will be for 2-3 year old “new” trucks?

The largest suspension bridge in the World. Last I heard.
5 miles long.
Crossed it many times. No way water can reach its height.

I don’t have to worry about a chip shortage in my Toyota 4-runner.
