Batchelors, gotta love em....cheap gas and cooler weather...get it while you can. No control over it anyway.Lot of loose marbles rolling around effecting the market which, typically rebounds. Not like we did not need a reset before any Perceived October crash by prophets. Hope no one gets hurt but, if you play the market, there are always opportunities. Finding them requires some attention, and logic. Wisdom should reckon on the unforeseen...a paradox in terms. Edit: Opp. to lose money?

Yes man, check out the new speakers from Klipsch to see the deals there. Maybe you could end up with some loot leftover for a new/used AVR with the connectivity you require. As you say, you can upgrade later. Klipsch is in the biz of selling speakers I hear.

Like the Marantz and Yamaha, he said boldly...?

Heard something about that on the radio in the car. Dangerous places at times. Getting to be a spectator sport. That WWII Hurricane crash at Brit airshow killed several. Schrapnel is there in either case. Go Bush?

Deserves a bump

Dang Mark, you are good. The blatantly upfront and honest with the customer. Guess there are points when the input repair needed outweighs any benefit that can be gained by continuing to try to revive. More later when I have some coffee and lose a little of that jetlag I have driving for work on weekends. Next time I am out shopping, I will get some Dunkin Donut coffee. It is nice and tasty. 460 miles so far on my latest Volvo addition and so far, it hasn't tried to buck me out of the saddle.

MKP, What can someone say. Your good intentions were gone awry. Not a fault of you, for doing something real good for your daughter. You words indicate near smoke or better about to come out of you from the disappoint. Not going to give a pro mechanic any advice. Would say it comes with the territory. You would know that better than myself. Doing a great service for the people so, am for one grateful there are still dedicated technicians that knows your cars. Lol, Sounds like you already knew about that used part thing but, yes wheels must go round. Thanks for the post! Edit: Oh BTW, good catch on taking off the starter for making it easier. Least it wasn't buttoned up yet.

Cleveland, keep your eyes open! Thanks!

Yes, Happy Saturday, the weekend is here for us w/e warriors,lol Dang, I bet you could do quite a lot alright. I may just live with it for awhile to see if it is a keeper or... lol

Well that was a crappy thing to happen. Maybe can find out the delivery company.

Last frame of triptych: Abstract reflections on a blue theme, in black and white, with a smidgen red.

Will try to remind to take pic of here after I can get some things done, like washing it. Think it will be alright if I pay some attention to even more than the looks, thanks. Maybe having 2 of basically the same may help me in troubleshooting, copying, codes, etc. May breakdown and get a scanner that has the correct codes. Bet they have come down some. Guessing! Hope you are well BigStewMan, and best to.

Yes duder, bet it could tee off somebody. Like the woods! Need to look again but, think it is efficient like, efficient enough.

Amy's was a really nice deal for sure...wanted it but

Here is a pic of the questionable fellow or lady(cannot tell yet): Small ding on front and pass. side lower panel slight crease and oh, someone painted the back bumper with silver paint, I can do better. The clear or polycoat that they put over paint job back then peels slowly over time. If this is a keeper, I may have to bring out the rubbing compound:

It has been bubblish for some time now...correction was expected by some.

Enjoy Tigerman! A friend owned a 70's Grand Marquis back in the day. Nice ride. Owns a 2000 now and it is decent enough. Yep, a little preventative tuning and looking around for fluid levels is a good thing. Being up on a lift at a reputable independent oil changer with a word it is new to you cAN BE A WAY TO CHECK out the chassis, tie rod ends, driveshaft/universals for play, etc. That is if they are familiar with big cars. Read old enough... Parts can be cheap if shop around first. On a second note. Got the 2000 V70 SE tax,tagged and titled. Need to do the same under the hood, and did do a first inspection after drive from Tampa to here Monday PM. So far, good enough for 300+ miles now. Found some info on it using Vintech for a small fee online but, rejected my Carfax report on it via debit card. Really want to see the 46? service records on it, mainly for the timing belt change,etc. Oh well, Nancy in her car, a Volvo V70, chauffeuring herself to her sisters for the weekend. That means, 220 miles less on me by finally having replaced my previous car and motorcycle. Back to a 2 car family again. Ice cold A/C and headlight wipers, if I go far enough north one day. right now 550 X 2 on sat/Sun is enough for me. Plus, it is a wagon of course where I can haul things like let's see...speakers,lolol And maybe most important of all, I do not have to drink diet beer followed by el cheapo liquors. Cannot afford any D&D in my life. Maybe it will last a short while! The car that is... Now to the store to p/u my provisions for this PM. Yayyyy Edit: add 120 miles for to and from work X 2 days. Double Edit: Miller Time

New Orleans? In 71 we stopped in Louisiana first thing and got a six or 8 of 8oz. Bud on way to Mardi Gras. What Mini-soda!

Is that you ma?

Joe, try selling on your local craigslist as a car with bad tranny. Someone may need something off of it like the motor, or whatever. You could start high with an OBO and may get lucky. If you want too...

Hello, 2nd Volvo update. Had to buy out of town to get what I wanted at a good price. Stars aligned and have a decent daily rider with acceptable miles off of the CL. More to follow! Made for a higher mileage weekend for me. Recouping yesterday... Took me a half hour here to catchup with you all...

Looks pretty much original.

Belated Happy Birthday
