[BaadAssGremlins] Was How Hot Was It So Far This Week? Now Modern Cars

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Terry why do you think I have all old cars. My daily driver is a 77
Malibu that will be retired in a year or two. I consider 74 as the cut
of date for simple cars. That's why I bought the second Hornet to fix it
up and make it a daily driver. Point's no electronic ignition, simple 1
bbl carb, no EGR valve or fuel injection, no computer, cat. converter or
rubber timing belt. I have incorporated all the improvements to the
factory flaws in the car and a few to improve performance and
reliability from the 31 years of experience working and driving my other
Hornet. When I am finished I will have 10,000$ in the car of which
5,000$ will be mechanical repairs and improvements. You can't even buy a
decent ricer for 10,000$ these days and I can't fit my fat crippled old
butt in them anyway.

Tell me about it Doc. I just watched my old Cougar and LaBaron towed away today. It was sad knowing they were going to the crusher. My better half Focus started running like crap so she has been driving my rice-eater. The rice-eater got where it won't idle. I looked at both of them. There ain't no carb to adjust no distrubutor just a bunch of crap and a stupid check enjine light. We took the Focus to the shop and the guy called and said it needed a buch of junk some of what I never heard of anyway he said for $550 they could get it running for $780 it would be fixed right. I muttered to myself I used to buy whole cars for that amount. Anyway we went to pick the thing up and while we there about 5 others came in. It seems like the $780 was cheap. I figure they took in about $7000 in that 20 minutes.  I told them they could throw in a jar of vasaline. They didn't seem very amu sed by that statement. Now I got to find someone to fix my Celica. I told Debbie what we should do is get of this new old junk and find us some decent AMC's to drive. I told her I could work on them and I didn't need a million dollar computer to find out what was wrong with them. I have a wealth of knowlege on this web site that can help me with that. She looked at me like I was nuts but I was serious.
