I saw an article on the demise of Oldsmobile in my news browsing this morning. It reminded me of the 1965 F-85 that I had. F-85 was a 4 door, bread and butter Cutlass. Mine had the Rocket 403 in it. Was a grandma's car, came out of Texas. Real clean, low 50K? miles. Grand daughter had smacked the front so I put a new grill, bumper and hood on it. Junkyard hood was even the same white color so it looked nice. I put new Firestone radials all round when I bought it too. Was living in Vernal UT at the time (1981)and once a month would get a 4 day weekend. So I'd jump on US 40 and head to Denver to see a girl I knew and party with some friends. It was good road all the way, up and over Rabbit Ears pass, through Steamboat Springs, etc. I'd put the hammer down and flat foot that Rocket most of the way. Car would do about 130. Dunno how I managed to avoid a ticket. Dumb luck for sure. Made the trip 6 or 8 times like that. Sure was a lot of fun. Sorry about reminiscing out in the open here but maybe some of you can relate. Olsmobile made some good cars then. Maybe some of you had one? Just a brand that is gone now. Thanks

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.
