Subject: Re: Sadturdday Chat 05.06.12 by vetteblondie on 2012/5/6 3:07:15 Y'all are making me feel old with all that talk of incomes in years past. I remember my mamma working for Singer Co. down the street when I was a kid, she made $1.25 an hour. I'd also like to have one car back if I could - when I was married the first time, he got a 61 Impala SS, black "batman" car. One of those "kid got it, drove it once, went off to the war, came home in a box story". I wanted a fix up car so his dad found me a 67 Firebird with a 400. I never got to work on it, we split, I had nowhere to keep it and he was hooked on dope and his mom and them needed money. I let them have it to sell to help them out. His fully restored Impala ended up back with the original family. Speaking of cars and working on them - whoever it was that told me that replacing plugs and wires on a C5 is easier than it is for a C4 is flat out full of shit. That crap took up a large part of my late afternoon/evening, along with the thermostat which was very easy. And, as frustrated as I was, imagine my frustration what the ticking noise I was hearing was when I started it, only to discover #5 didn't have it's plug wire on at all, it was laying on the ledge beside the car... ugh..... |
