AC issue

Shhh! You'll give away all my secrets!

something to

Erm, yes, I guess I am a bit anal about keeping my cars clean. At least the '04 has clear coat so I don't have to run out and drive her off every time it rains.

Hope you're not in one of the areas that got 16" of rain in a couple of hours yesterday. We could use some of it up here - just not all at once though. Had a nice thunderstorm roll through last night and they're forecasting a better (worse?) one for tonight - hopefully it will take some of this humidity with it!

A woman never gives away all of her secrets, and we wouldn't understand most of them anyway. ;-)

"drive her off"? Was that a Freudian slip or intentional?

I am 27 miles from Marble Falls, which flooded heavily last night and it looks like more to come.

The lake front houses around the corner are watching the water levels very nervously. I just want the rain to stop soon so that I can pull my Miata out from under the tarp and fix it.

Vixen, that is cool; fast, pretty and sleek. I won't name mine, it hurts too much when I tear them apart......

Oops! That was supposed to be "dry" her off. Of course, a drive to shake off the rain drops is always fun too. ;)

I had the opportunity to buy Belle back from the wrecker but couldn't face the thought of tearing her apart.

Yeah, I guess it is. Guess that's *really* freudian with all the thunderstorms we're having around here lately. ;-D

It's even got the red nose. Only one horn tho.

The red nose was Rudolph, Vixen may have had a brown nose, though, you'd have to ask the other reindeer or maybe Mr. Claus. ;-)

I am about as unsentimental as it comes with material objects, but it did hurt to tear apart the '96M, probably because it was the best car I have ever owned.

I was just about to replace the timing belt on that one when it was totaled at 75,000 miles.

Vixen the brown-nosing reindeer? You should write a book, or at least a song about that.....

Dang! I have a need for a passenger fender and door (don't ask). Belle is the right color. And you are within a reasonable driving distance. Of course we can see what downward spiral this can be thanks to Pat.

Definitely a downward spiral.

The death of my miata, however, has improved and repaired many others, and at a whole lot lower prices in general that a place like planetmiata or a salvage yard charges. Probably 40 to 50 different miatas so far are wearing parts from the '96M, including my present '91 model.

Actually, if you're willing to drive this far, we have a member in NJ who has several Miata in various stages of dismemberment - most of them red. He probably has what you need.

There is a Pennsylvania Pat? That is unacceptable. :-)

It looks like I will be parting out two more M1 Miatas, then I am calling it quits on ripping down cars down unless I come across a deal that can't be passed up.

Make that a NJ Pat.

I forget that you live somewhere that you can change States without driving for a minimum of 4 or 5 hours. It is actually faster to reach Mexico from where I am than any U.S. State, and that is still 240 miles away. Louisiana is close to the same distance, but it still a bit further away.
