    Some days,. I'm ready to walk away!

    I've been planning driving the 2+2 to Dallas and Texas Dream Cruise.
    Friday night during a test drive, at stop lights, the engine would start a surge and shut off.
    Engine is surging at idle, battery drained dead that night.
    Guages are flaky, I pulled inst cluster and steering wheel, took all day saturday for the Optima yellow top to recharge. Saturday night the only thing I achieved was frustration. Sunday was only  frustration no fun when working on my car, rest of the day riding around in a 428 1967 GT 500 Sheby clone.
    back at my house puzzling at the wiring harness, I'd bumb the turn indicator arm and set off the turn indicators. To the point I finally had running lights on and blinking with the turn indicators.Monday afternoon battery  dead again& accepting no charge. I figure its time to fold this circus tent.
    MS asked if I had done anything with steering column wiring, well yes I actually had.MS then said sumpthin  bout 6S6 syndrrome. Steerding column wiring, turn indicator-horn wiring.
    Cowardly Chicken mobile, fraid of a little ole USPS box on a stick.
    I have decided to drivethe less fearsome 73 Vert. See ya Saturday.

    If you keep this up, Miss May is going to have a permanent case of ROADTRIPAPHOBIA.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
