Roy:

After 80% of my cars wouldn't start today (outside), I'm thinking about starting the whole stinkin fleet and letting them run til March or so. Spent 2 hours getting our 98 Ford Aeromax (500 Cummings) unfroze last night and on the road. Stinking 1 degree F last night. Nothing wanted to run.

Driving a TDI now while the rest of the family stays with MB's. I also have a spare MB in case I get withdrawal.

I haven't driven "The Flash" daily since mid August. I will take it out once every week or so, but try to do it at night so the smoke is less visible. I got to hear a purring non-smoking diesel Sunday, but that was my '68 Ford tractor. That has been a good diesel!

Today when I called the stealership to request a bolt for mounting the alternator on our 83 (had a minor....bolt breaking.....incident today... ), the guy asked me if I was a shop! haha I said, no, I'm a guy, working on these myself now, we should be in your computer from when we used to have it serviced there. I don't think he appreciated that I am definatley addicted, I look forward to using my car every single day
