    Hey, that's great Renee! Your grandson will cherish those times for the rest of his life. Outings as that are what kindled "planes, trains and cars for many of us, I'm sure :-) I used to beg my parents for rides to the local airport when other kids went to the movies or skating rink. The...

    Doug, I've heard that brake fluid has somewhat of a shelf life, but not the others. Only hear-say... That's a great question.

    Cougar, this has been my observation, contention and resistance all along. Especially after being asked to volunteer that information, assist and even perform the research (originally as a cooperative group effort), and then reach a place where you are illegitimized and driven apart (on & off...

    1968 You In A Book

    ...Very exciting and generous of you Cory. And once again - I can't say enough about the outstanding quality of "Blurb" books. I have loaned mine (of another subject) to many people who are now ordering copies for themselves. You will indeed be sorry if you pass up Cory's opportunity for you!

    Gas Mileage: Who's CS drinks fuel the quickest/slowest?

    ...The C-code averages 16-18 mpg (22 on a long trip from LA). J-codes hover around 14 mpg and the S-codes around 9-10 mpg. I can't always say that I drive them in a manner to conserve fuel. I often zip up to cruising speed with the same "bursts" up to 70 or 80 to close whatever gaps on the...
