Thoughts while driving home in the "family" car after checking out an interesting or "cool" car.

Comfortable, useful, and practical.
But I think that it's at least a little cool.

What do car guys mean when they say that they want to drive something cool? If you ask any car guy about what he wants, he'll usually say, something that is cool. But what does that mean? Most people just want a "good" car that fills their transportation needs. "Good" usually means one they purchased new, or a low mileage late model, with payments they can afford to make comfortably.

 It seems like there has been a lot more focus lately on the musings and ramblings part of my blog description,

Not a Bit O' Honey, just a bit o' this and that. A lot of talking, instead of doing stuff to, or with my cars.

 Salvaging a manual seat track for my '06 Mustang.


The seat was beat, but the track is gold,


As well as a "work around" for a non functioning power seat.

These manual seat tracks are quite rare.

Now, I've got two squirreled away!

 My experience with fuel mileage.


I've made the trip to Depoe Bay in the Flex twice.

This has been an area that I hadn't paid that much attention too. Primarily because it hasn't been an important consideration. For many years I rode a motorcycle for half of my commuting and errand running needs, and I only had a 20 mile round trip commute for over 30 years. Fuel economy really didn't concern me. Though I had many younger co-workers that had commutes of fifty to 75 miles, one way!

 So when should you quit working on cars?

More hands on work. Should I quit doing this stuff?


Or maybe, "when should you at least, reduce the workload? "

Kind of a tough question.
