I had a "used car" with a 3 speed automatic.  Nobody passed me going up the hills. (see avatar)

catblaster--- "78 Ford Fiesta.  Engine is in the back.  He runs it in Autocross.  I've driven it. This is definitely an "E" ticket ride.  0 to 60 2.5 seconds.  It helps to own a machine shop. 

I changed my own.  Not too bad for a 76 year old.  I used a 1/2 inch electric impact wrench on the ones I could reach with it.

I just replaced mine.  Koni FSD 8805-1018 front shocks and 8805-1019 rear shocks from LTB Autosports in Melbourne, FL.  $154.99 each.  These folks had them in stock when everyone else had them on backorder. Great service and fast shipping. Haven't tested them out yet but planning on a 7000-mile...

A 500 cube caddy engine can be mated up to those transmissions with the biggest obstacle is to change motor mount location. Catblaster--You can also bolt up a 426 c.i. aluminum small block Chevy to that transaxle.

The park we stay at in Santa Cruz, CA only has one space available so we book it a year at a time

Because I'm a nice guy, I'll step out of the line so someone else can have my spot.

Been using 4 x 24 since the early 60s.  First Stanley, then Craftsman, then Porter Cable.  I have a Caftsman 4 x 24 that I've had since the late 70s.  Can't imagine using anything smaller.

Any time we are traveling in the RV the frig is on Auto.  On propane while we are traveling and on AC when plugged in.

Another thought, only use Teflon tape on pipe thread to pipe thread fittings, NEVER on flare or compression joints.

Have a 50 amp service installed and pay her for the additional cost.

OK, someone snuck in and changed the date while I was typing.

I'm confused.  The OP wrote it on the 9th, today is the 10th, what does 8-11-20 have to do with anything?

How old are your cushions?  Mine are 19 years old, I've washed them several times and they look like new.
