Growing up if I wanted a car to drive a car I had to go earn the money to do so. This included the car, insurance, parking and gas. Granted, things were cheaper back in the 60's, but they were not free! Seems like today kids will turn their noses up to free rides that "are not what they really want" and I personally had this experience with my own daughter. I would have killed to be able to drive a "free car" even if it meant I had to learn a new way to drive! I have seen this personally at least three times and I don't quite get it! In addition, the kids seem to expect their parents will provide free transportation to them, as if it is mandatory to do so and are not at all appreciative! How did we ever get to this state of affairs?

I wanted it and I bought it. After working 2-3 jobs at one time over the years and doing with out to raise 3 kids it is now time for ME!!!!!! "Doc" -----> AMEN, Doc! I sold my first AMC, a 69 BBO Javelin SST with 390/4spd and a T/A wing, to cover the birth expenses of my first daughter. The 70 SST 390 Javelin was gone soon after, while on deployment. My wife is very supportive of my weird dream, but I feel exactly the same. All those little rugrats turned into fine women and a big and strong man who lent me the money to put the cam into Molly. I too am the only driver and have to get up just to run her over(oops, I mean to work). On another note, I too liked hearing about Tom's little escapades. Here's an excerpt from the Gremlin Birthday Card I had up for a while: /...During the 80's, my father owned two used Gremlins, both already in the required Earl Schreib bucket of paint job. The green 75 was on its way home from a desert party on a rough road one morning, when it lost the bottom control arm bushings at the frame... I actually drove it 10 miles home on the spring only(I was like 21), repaired the car in about 20 minutes, and picked up my dad from work. We never had any problem with the front end after that. As for the 74, it was an ugly pink that would sometimes stay orange for a week or more at a time when polished. After a camping trip to Sycamore Canyon, my best friend and I were caught during a crossing of the Verde River by a wall of water about 3 feet high washing into the little car and pushing it sideways almost off of the crossing. Flash flood! I started backing up, but the water rose too fast and killed the 258. That Gremlin still saved our bacon. I began to steer the wheels upstream and back to straight, and the force pushed it backwards. By "swimming" the wheels in this manner, we backed out to safety, dried out the distributor, then went the long way 20 miles over muddy, rutted roads to get home safe and dry./ I could add a lot more stupid crap like this to the list. I was a real moron, and it's a good thing we were a Rambler family. mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

They indicated that Fram would be marketing some Puradyn products, which would carry both companies names, and that Puradyn would be marketing Fram products through their distribution system. Puradyn is a US company, based in Boynton Beach, FL. From a look at Puradyn's product lineup, it is clear that their products are primarily for heavy equipment applications, not standard passenger car/light truck filters. The company history page indicates as much; it says that the Puradyn system would be co-branded with the Fram Fleet Care trademark. Off topic, Puradyn's product is a bypass oil filter, not receiving the full flow of oil. It is designed to be installed downstream of the engine's full flow filter, trapping particulates down to 1 micron, and has an electrically heated "evaporation chamber" designed to boil off any fuel or water that found its way into the oil. The intent of such systems is to provide extended drain intervals in fleet vehicles that undergo regular oil analysis. --Glen >I checked your link to Puradyn, and it doesn't say they acquired Fram.
