Reasons to drive an old car
-
ND Mike my first car was a 72 challenger with a 340 in it. Itās very easy to get in trouble with those. I sure wish I had it back.
cdavis i hear ya! I have a feeling your a Mopar guy like me!

processhead i couldnāt agree more. Electrical gremlins drive me nuts! So frustrating and I sometimesā¦ok most of the timeā¦do not have the patience to work through electrical problems!

My background and education is electrical/electronics so I am kind of the opposite, I generally can work through the electrical issues.
The mechanical issues I will occasionally take on, but am more likely to pass those off to someone with more experience.

ND Mike Iāve been a Mopar man my whole life.

cdavis sweet me too! Still have quite a few between my 2 brothers and I!

ND Mike my brother also loves the Mopars. He has a 74 power wagon Iād like to have but he wonāt part with it. He put a flat bed on it with a hydraulic hay spike on it and uses it on his farm.

kyle Iāve been a GM guy from the start of driving. With that said I am ordering in July a Ford F-250 with the 7.3L Godzilla motor. I hope I donāt regret it but I just donāt care for the new GM products anymore.
twilliams I bought a 2017 F-350 dually for my retirement present to myself from the first career. It hauls around a 41 foot 16,000 plus lb. fifth wheel camper with no issues. I hope you have as good of an experience as Iāve had with mine so far.

Jonathon if you have a smart steering wheel with many switches attached their in could be the problem as some of the semi trucks in years past had them and were more problems than benefit some driver5s that had them ,they were called smart wheels they would pull the cover and blow the inside out with air to get the dust and other things out of the switches just donāt set off your air bag

A 2002 Tundra wonāt have too much in the steering wheel and column. The ignition switch and possibly a couple other switches for cruise and horn. Could be a good candidate for some DIY repairs.

YooperDog Did you go to Boys Tech High School in Milwaukee? My Father went there and learned his trade as a wood pattern maker. We used to go to their football games in the early to mid 60ās.
Bob Stehlik yes. That building is now torn down and replaced with a new one. I think the name is Allen-Bradley high school. There was a lot of history in that place and many learned good skills for the work force.

nope the spyder only came with a manual transmission - most were 4 speed, but occasionally there would be a 3 speed.
Iāve had several corvairs over the years with the 2 speed powerglide (aka powerslide) transmission usually with a gear selector (forward, neutral, reverse), but one with the push buttons.
alanburkholder I remember my uncle having one and a neighbor use to be a collector.
