[TPR] 4 things silently killing your classic

[David Carpenter]

Yup!!
Just like our electronic scoring tablets when they get Hot!!  EVERY bay is issued a cooler, an ice pack & extra battery.
Keep it in the shade...or screen goes BLACK on medium hot days!!


Same thing that happens w your phone....only worse.

The screens used in most cars are only good down to about 20 degrees F give or take is my guess.  Once you drive around with the heater on, they started warming up and got visible again.

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

Right On!!
When 'One Second After' the emp occurs:
Only thing gonna run is something with the vintage of a Pantera!!

Of course:
I bet even that's suspect to work.  Given the electronic ignition & electronic fuel injecton!!
Upgrades to new tech can bite you in arse!!

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

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.
