You're not supposed to chew on it.

Fluke.
Isn't that key chipped or something ?

They fall to the floor driving the 98... right around 2.75 - 3 miles. They're a little loose in the slot there.

I can pull the key out of my F150 anytime, LOL. It was handy in the cold/winter when I was in charge of the night shift and had to get out of my truck to lock the gate.

Yep. PATS. It must have been close enough to the coil that it started up. I tried three times to duplicate it, and no joy. (I guess that's a good thing.)

Just talked to my insurance about doing agreed value on Frankie.... and putting it at 12K. All of the paperwork has been filled out, I just need some pics to send them. I'll try and get it back together this weekend.

Efan project is a go. I tested the fan at 34A under load and decided to go with an aftermarket variable controller, since it's a single-speed.

Holy crap, White! My '95 is sitting at $10K, and that was pre-blower, etc.

EDIT: I guess I haven't looked at the values on mine lately. AUTOTRADER SEARCH.
I'm at only about 55K miles IIRC. The high-dollar ones are minimal miles and/or Cobras, but still...

Don't sell yourself short on it. They won't give you a dime over 10K if you wreck it. My 89 is at 30K, and it's like 20 dollars a month. Guessing Frankie will be around 10.

My friend had his 92 insured for 10K, and he had a fire under hood. They gave him 5500 to fix it.

Well damn it.... Just as I'll have Frankie done, we got a notice that the main road out of the neighborhood is getting slurry sealed next week (the 26th).

If you don't know what that is....
