Thanks guys. Only one wife now, much better than trying to juggle 3 GF at the same time and remember where I went with which one .

Reminds me of a movie, maybe from the late 60`s, where this guy was dating Air Line Sturateses that flew on 7 different air lines. when one left, the next one came in. all worked well until the air lines changed their schedules, and they all arrived at the same time.

Yeah, I had one wife before, she hit and I ran . refere to her as Madam X or the BiG WOW, The Witch of Watsonville. that lasted 2 months.

My Favorite wife and I have 25 yrs coming up May 31. she said if I leave, she is coming with me. "you aren`t leaving me here with all this crap"

The 240 will do fine, a little slow on the steeper hills. we had it on this trip I think it was last March a yr ago right after we got the car. this is the car a lady just gave us. she was the original owner. I started a thread on it, and never added anything to it as to pictures or what has been done. I hate a thread that lets you hanging at the end w/o the end results, or? and Iam always complaining about it when I don`t know the punch line ________.

Iam always amazed at how well it runs, never a problem, put 10,000k on it this past year. My free car has cost me $900 or so going through it, nothing big, major thing was tires and the Differential that was grumbling. replaced it from a 3:69 to a 3:58 and added the 150mph spedo as is in my signature. also replaced the axles with two new ones from PNP. can you emagine replacing an axle, then junking the car?

always starts and shuts off fine, except every once in a while for only one time, the door locks won`t work. then would be fine. then yesterday afternoon the engine won`t shut off and locks wont work. started raining all afternoon, so Iam taking along my Mity Vac and some spare door actuators and will go through it at my Daughters. I forgot about this in the first post.

Lucky me, this uses the older style actuators. $148 on FL. I have 9 so far from PNP .
This is the old style

and the newer style, $36.20



I wanted to get out of here around 2AM so I could get through and north of Sacramento before the idiots get out there and screwed up the Freeways. commute time is refered to the rush hour, and they all get out there and use it as a parking lot. It`s 8am, maybe I`ll get through there before the lunch bunch.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
