What's wrong with seeing ladies for lunch?

Looks like a sand version of Bonneville. I know a guy with records there. He says salt where you cannot believe it and you never get it all out, almost rendering the car useless for anything else. Again, I am always SO happy to see people even crazier that YH&OS. Hat's off to you.

Never heard of these. professional looking. They a type certified auto maker in Japan, even crash tested! Ouch. https://www.duncanimports.com/vehicles/547/1994-mitsuoka-zero1-roadster

"Fluids are also critical. I’ve added about a liter of coolant and two of oil in 3,000 miles." Of course, fluids are critical, but one can get creative. Driving an old 190SL from Mexico DF to Texas, it started leaking oil. I carried extra cans, but about 15 miles shy of the border, it got low again and I had exhausted my extra cans. So, I just stood by the side of the highway and waved an oil can at passing cars. Within 10 minutes, I had the extra 2 liters I needed to make it to the MB dealer in Laredo.

Holly carp! I saw that but must not have read the price.

So, where's the much anticipated photo in Marfa? I can't make out the background? Tomorrow should be a nice drive. Better weather and open roads. Good travels!

From another thread, "The Harbor Freight $30 set has a pretty good mix and for $30 you really can't complain, but watch out as the chrome is so cheap that it can flake off and leave you with a nasty tiny sliver. Ask me how I know." Having cheap tools at hand, by the side of the road, is better than having professional grade at home. Why stand there cussing when all you need is pliers or a screwdriver? For the last 30+ years I have made sure there are tools in every vehicle. My kids', the wife's, my Tacoma and needless to say, the Birkin. Some are cheap sets, but not used for 10 years. Cheap insurance. Goes with teaching a daughter to change a tire. Cheap tools have come a long way. They are not as crappy as they used to be. A pro mechanic needs tools that can take hard work for years, but as an amateur, some tools might only get used rarely, so it may take years to wear them out. There are exemptions. Cheap wire strippers are not worth having; some cheap pliers are OK, others not, etc. And don't forget road finds and garage sales. I have a ridiculous number of sockets, from a garage sale. Just about every 1/32 and 1/64 difference there is, bought in a gallon pail. Broken Craftsmen 1/2 inch breaker bar found in the road, traded by Sears for brand new one.

Back to the old ages. Supposedly one could set the gap on Triumphs with cigarette paper. Motor bike and breaker points though.

Congratulations. Watch out for the slick leaves. Enjoy till the snow comes.

Right. Hummers have no poppet valves.

Perfect day in the neighborhood. Congrats.

Just yesterday I was wondering what happened to the secret project hinted at last year. Wow is hardly sufficient. Pity the poor big cars.

What a wonderful place. Love the art and details. Nice use of an old wobbly wheel. Never use an old magnesium one. We once had one blow up just sitting in the driveway on a Formula Junior.

Congratulations. Patience is the best thing to have at the DMS. When rejected, go get what they want and come back. Repeat as needed. Eventually get lucky (you are already right). Now you can drive all you want. :driving:

"I am as excited as a kid at Christmas time." Merry Christmas! Staying up late at night won't get it delivered any quicker.

Great idea! Then we can be like most social media types. Ranting on about a subject we know nothing about. :conehead: That doesn't mean I would not love to rant. More like "Don't get me started."

Hope the light at the end of the tunnel is all sunshine and curvy roads. Good luck with a happy clerk tomorrow.

I certainly hope you were wearing a Santa Hat.

"at some point I will want to replace the following: harness revert to original intake manifold setup tires (205/50/15 & 225/45/15 Toyo R888 currently fitted). might try the Avon ZZS in 195/50/15 & 245/40/15 unless anyone has better suggestion? I'll be interested what people say about running 245s on the rear. Seems it might be hard to get the car to rotate, though you would be able to power out of a turn.

Congratulations and welcome to a bunch of nuts.

Chin up, Lad. You have proven that you will overcome.
