Spiders are arachnids, not insects :P This sounds familiar. I Normally park in front of the (stuffed) garage, right next to some kind of Shrubbery (a nice one, but not too nice[0]). For the past mont

Is this really the case? My owner's manual doesn't mention it, and the Bentley book for 75-80 just barely glosses over (check for leaks). From the appearance of the documentation, the Armstrongs were

I like the goofy "mom found this and thought it would be funny" approach. When it is 29F (-2C) and you are driving topless, you will get funny looks anyway. http://www.wsu.edu/~aaronpw/MG/snow/IMAGE0

In the 2300 miles I've driven since July 24th, I've averaged 24 MPG (US). Given the Eastern wa.us weather, most of this is top-down. My mileage is based on pretty crude mechanisms (fill the tank, rea

I am trying to figure out if the temp gauge or sending unit on my '75 B is bogus, since it tends to read hot for the entire summer. To help, I bought a new toy at NAPA[0], and have measured some temp

That was what I feared. Correct readings at "N" means that when it is hot, it really is hot. Time to dig through the archives! -- Aaron Whiteman '75 B /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool

Easy. My phone costs me $70/month (I admit that 9-state no-roam no-long-distance coverage is not appropriate for emergency-only use). $70 * 12 = $840 / year. $840 * 10 = $8400 (quite a bit more than
