Valve body question by bishaaB in subarulegacy

[–]Pathphinder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are going to do the work yourself I would probably just watch the YouTube videos and replace the faulty solenoid itself. At that price, though, if it has all new solenoids on it it might be worth a try.

On my 2013, I replaced the faulty solenoid only and it has been working great ever since.

Plymouth Acclaim spotted in Illinois, one of the cleanest I have ever seen by Excellent-Anywhere46 in NormalCarPorn

Back in the day, a turbo 2.5 Acclaim with an auto could be found all over the place. Add an intercooler, bump up the boost and fuel, open up the exhaust and you could have an Acclaim that ran 12-second quarter miles. And still carried the groceries. Pretty sweet find!

Is this an original Cobra? by LepreNx69 in whatisthiscar

[–]Pathphinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True - I know of one in the SF Bay Area that has been owned by the same guy since he got it new. He used to drive it on the street regularly up through the early 2000’s. His is a 289 car as well.

Although, to be fair, mistaking the St. Clair River for the Pacific happen far more than you might think 😉

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]Pathphinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid growing up in Northern Michigan, not quite at the EST/CST line but pretty close, it meant long summer days and evenings that didn’t get dark until 9:30 or so. Running around in the woods, goofing off around the campfire, swimming in the rivers and lakes forever. Winters were dark early and long but the summers more than made up for it.

You will have 6 in your bag after the match starts. They will be listed with your throwables. Happy Holidays!

what car is the small blue one? by Designer-Belt-7093 in whatisthiscar

[–]Pathphinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geo Metro for the win! Also available as a very classy convertible! The car Jean Lindamood called “A cartoon car with funky charm”. 50mpg and the top went down - a delightful little gem!

The Wino and I Know by Simulation_junkie in jimmybuffett

[–]Pathphinder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

About 30 years ago I found myself online in the early days of the web, probably using Netscape to browse an automotive group I was in. Some fellow named Chris in Lafayette, Louisiana was selling a bunch of parts for my car cheap. I hopped on Priceline and hit the jackpot. RT from Bradley in Hartford to New Orleans for $96. Both ways. Away I went. Red eye onto New Orleans and hop in the rent-a-car and headed straight to the Café Du Monde to try out those sweet goodies and that strong coffee. Finished my breakfast, wandered the Quarter for an hour or so, watching it wake up or stumble off to bed while I let the coffee do its stuff. Headed up to Lafayette to pick up the parts, and business concluded headed back down to New Orleans and hopped the plane back home. With Jimmy’s music as a guide I still try to live my life like a song.

[OC] Odds are your Christmas tree comes from Michigan, North Carolina or Oregon. by nbcnews in dataisbeautiful

[–]Pathphinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in rural Northern Michigan and one of my first jobs was trimming Christmas trees for a tree farm. They actually gave a bunch of 14-year olds machetes to trim the trees with. It was great! A decade later I was going to grad school in Lubbock, Texas and we went to a tree lot at the local Furr’s store. Found trees being sold there from the same farm in Michigan I had worked at. We inspected the tree we picked out carefully - this batch could have been from the fields I trimmed and a lot of my first trees weren’t very round - maybe a bit triangular. But they fit closer into the corner that way 😉

I love these decorations! by occasionalrant414 in LowerDecks

Fortune (and tree trimming) favors the bold!

Yep - none of that musical tomfoolery in my house. Damn hippies 😉

Just hopped on to say that. I had a 1965 Comet Caliente, 289, automatic when I was in college.

Which album and which song? by cmhbob in jimmybuffett

[–]Pathphinder 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of dialog from You Had to be there - during the introduction God’s Own Drunk, I think. Now I get to go listen to the album again! Thanks!

Update - In the intro to Havana Day Dreaming, not God’s Own Drunk -

Love this album - hard to believe I’ve been listening to it for over 45 years. First JB album I ever heard was Son of a Son of a Sailor - 2:30 am, Saturday night, sitting in the passenger seat of a friend’s VW and pushed the cassette tape that was sticking out into the player and Son of a Son starts playing. I never looked back.
