Thank you! I enjoy living there....... Most of the time. ;-)

Welp! I knew going camping was going to make it rain, but I'll take it over the dust we have been suffering any time. Well..... almost anytime. ;-)

I hear that. I didn't even bother moving the vehicles in the garage. Just worked out in the rain.

Not to be too judgmental...but that shop floor is WAY too clean. I mean you do own a PSD...most of them aren't known to be sealed tight as they age. Just saying.

Does anyone know this guy?

Photo of the Week: Valhalla for Mustangs

I realize it's all about the ponys...but I figure a guy with that many "projects" around the farm is bound to know a couple of folks, or be known by a couple of you clowns in the middle part of the state. The 'chero-Stang is different to say the least.

I drive by his place fairly often. Never me him. I'm told he's way too proud of his stuff for most locals to afford.

The wonders of google...looking for something else, I stumbled upon this little gem on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:F...rd_Ecostar.jpg

And unlike today's Hybrids/Full Electric rides...it used a sodium-sulfur battery; that was susceptible to fire...thus Ford's abandonment of the project in 1997. Nearly 20 years before the first Transit Connect hit the streets of 'merica, 100 of these things were cruising the streets of motor city.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Ecostar

A battery that used molten sulfur that needed to be maintained to 600F so the sulfur would remain molten; I mean what's the worse that coule happen!
