The old VW bug caught on fire, standing there watching it burn when I got inspired and shook up a can of beer and sprayed it on the engine, yep put a carburetor fire out with a Pabst. One day while loading my sister's horse for county fair my mom breaks her finger,a now we have two destinations Dad,the truck/trailer and horse to the fair, Mom to the Doctor's/hospital to get the finger taken care off. She can't drive their Pinto (the gear shift lever had fallen off and with the broken finger she didn't think she could reach through the floor to grab the stub to shift it) and the truck is headed to the fair. So I get stuck with their Pinto and she grabs my Bonneville convertible. Evening comes and they're still not back from the Fair, a buddy comes by announcing we're going into town to partake of 49 cent Whopper night at Burger King. Only after I agree I find out he doesn't have any gas in his car and I'm driving, we walk to the Pinto, he is appalled, I explain why, he figures it's embarrassing to be seen in this particular car, you see this Pinto was beyond rough, someone had riveted barn tin onto the doors, or what was left of them to conceal that there was no Ford sheet metal left on the bottom 4-6" of each door, the driver's latch froze so we took a splitting maul to beat back the body far enough to cut the latch peg, you "latched" the door by using a stretchy strap hooked between the right upper seat belt mount and the hole on the door where the lock plunger used to be. Hunger overtakes him and against our better judgement we head to the big city. Needed some gas so we pulled into a Little Freeway station (full serve at a self serve price) You should of seen the look on the face of the pump jockey 'cause my friend is playing with the detached gear shift lever while the gas is getting pumped. We eat our whoppers and head home. Part of the way home the rear view mirror falls off the windshield, the triple chrome plated fully illuminated accessory gauge cluster falls off the bottom of the dashboard and finally the exhaust system comes loose from the front, can't drive 'cause we're afraid of doing the pole vault thing or ruining the exhaust system to where it can't be bolted back on, which would really make my Dad mad. We find a piece of binder twine on the edge of the road, tie it to the loose end of the exhaust system, my friend leans out the window, I hand him the twine and we limp home, him hanging out the window holding the exhaust pipe up off the ground, unfortunately the parents beat us home and witnessed our arrival. Boy did I get chewed out for "abusing" my dad's car. I think I should of only got half a chewing out 'cause there was only about half a car involved.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
