You will own no functional 3G devices and you will be happy.

Al Gore: We must immediately wire every classroom in America with dial up internet service.

“my outboard is from 1975. It should be immune even from 0.1g”

A Super/Turbo charger may help....

are they available for a 2 stroke?

[Paladin2]

I suppose; Detroit Diesel used to use superchargers.

I recall being at a summer camp in 1978 which had a news teletype. It was fascinating to watch. It happened to be at a place where Yassir Arafat stayed at 2 decades later.

That high beam thing seems very ford. My parents 1974 country sedan station wagon had that ‘feature.’

“It all started going down hill when they began to require that cars have brake lights.”

You could tell Fred FLintstone was braking when you saw smoke coming off the soles of his feet.

“others could lose...certain infotainment and convenience features such as real-time navigation”

Be funny if they did that in the early afternoon. Half of the country wouldn’t make it home from work.

Not if the hardware won’t support it. Like it to trying to receive FM on an AM only radio. The hardware just isn’t there.

My tractor is from 1948. EMP won’t even affect it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But does he know that real Dodge Chargers have only two doors?

[posterchild]

Is it one of those 1948 fords?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Many still do. And a two stroke diesel requires a supercharger to work.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. 8N Ford. They still make a lot of parts for it, too. Just put a new exhaust/intake manifold on it the other day.

My 2010 F150 has those - manual everything.

[posterchild]

I’ve seen a few of them at estate sale auctions. If only I had land ... maybe next deep recession.

[Betty Jane]

I don’t know but he can tell you everything about Fords or else it seemed like it from the time he was 5. He works for an auto collision shop now. Trying to set himself up in a car relate business, but he has a spending problem for cars and accessories.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They are plentiful still around here. You can still pick them up for under $2000.

Of merely academic interest.

Mine is 20 years old, and a 5 speed. Here, a 5 speed with a clutch is an anti-theft device.
