Ron: With as unreliable as the older cars used are, that 40 year old (69) (Torino) Cobra with over 40,000 miles on it is seriously on the verge of becoming a REAL problem for you, It could leave you stranded on the way to the Mini Mart or the Grocery store. This is not safe for you especially with all the incorrigables, and druggies on the streets and keep in mind that the state is now realeasing convicts for good behavior (lots of those up your way too) you should consider a more reliable mode of transportation for you and your friends and pets. Driving in that "OLD" car just isn't safe anymore. Think of how unsafe the "Old" tires on it are(?). The problem with fuel etc. Give me a call and I'll help you either find a charity (they can do wonders for people less fortunate) and the car would go to a good home. Just imagine, as big as it is any one of these families with 6 or 8 kids, single parent chain smoking types could get all the kids in it at one time and make only one trip to the free clinic for medical care. So please give me a call.
Rick,

That is one problem that I have no trouble living with. The 110 leaded racing gas takes care of it and I never drive it more than 40 or 50 miles at a time any more. In fact I have been waiting for some good weather to take it out for a short spin as it has been 2 months now since I last drove it. Funny that you should mention it. My best friends brother in law is down from Washington for the car show and he was asking me about it this morning and if I was going to ever sell it. I also got an invitation to bring it back over to the Finish Line car show next month. That is only about a 6 mile drive.

Ron
