[TPR] 4 things silently killing your classic

Tue Feb 11 13:43:08 PST 2025

 Good thing about continuing to work is I have a 'set-aside' for Asa saying, "the bad news is you  need to replace or upgrade _____________________(fill in the blank)!!!

During the cold weather which really was not very cold by midwest or upstate NY comparisions my electronics froze here when temp dropped down to 22 F.I thought WTH.....the F-150 started and ran but no electronics right, (gauges, maps, etc)....but I ran it to the store on Saturday before Mary arrived to get a few things for her birthday and after I went into the mall to shop and came back up all the electronics came back on!Amazing,,,,and I didn't need to call Asa!HAHA

My modern vehicles....nothing will work save the cigarette lighters!But two out of three new ones: don't even have that accessory port!!CD#3

Subject: Re: 4 things silently killing your classic Guilty as charged....I have had my Pantera in the dry dock for months now....other then 1999 when we rebuilt her this is the longest time (9 months) she has mostly sat ignored. I miss her!
Will see how angry she is on my not giving her attention in March when I get her up to you in Spokane for an annual and you give me the "good news / bad news" dignosis.haha.
