More comparison shopping; The 2018 Lincoln  MKZ.

This color really highlights the design.
Asking price is 11,460.00 with 128,000 miles.

What can I say, I like to look at cars.

First off, why couldn't they have given this thing a real name?

Well, it used to be called the Zephyr. 

 More comparison shopping.

The Cadillac name is something that still holds a lot of appeal for me. I've owned several vintage models and a couple of cars that were only a few years old when I purchased them. Vintage models still hold a lot of interest for me, though I know that they are quite large and require a lot of storage space. They are also very old fashioned in their driving dynamics and in their high fuel consumption. But they have that glamorous Fifties and Sixties style which can't be replicated. 

Thinking about automotive a/c Part Two.

This photo was taken during the Navigator re-test.

I had the a/c in my truck flushed and recharged, but I wasn't satisfied that there was a substantial improvement.

I felt that the a/c wasn't cooling enough, before the recharge, but I didn't have a base line measurement to compare it with after the service.

 Maybe I'm really not a car guy, Part Three

Iiit's baaack!

Chewing the same buffalo fat, over and over,... again.

I was at Barnes and Noble and was checking out the magazine racks, though I seldom buy any magazines anymore.

As I was searching the titles, I encountered a guy and we began a conversation about cars. 

 Thinking about automotive air conditioning. Part One.

The old fashioned "hang on" swamp cooler. This one looks pretty spiffy!

To be more specific, thinking about the a/c in my vehicles.

The hottest days of Summer are here, and it is now that you'll focus on how effective your cars a/c system is working. What seemed adequate in 80 degree weather isn't cutting it at temperatures of over 100 degrees!

 "Vintage Lite." Part One.

Tastes Great, Less Filling!

A new approach, or just a return to my regular old ways? 

Back in the Good Old Days I never would have thought of buying some used up, thrashed, old car as a "project." 

 An ongoing Great Garage Massacre?

It won't be quite like this!

I'm going to be moving forward with the premise that all of my hobby cars are for sale.

If I locate an interested buyer, then I can decide whether or not I will actually sell one.  So my initial prices will be a little higher. But not so high as to scare off a prospective buyer. 

This seems to be a reasonable strategy.
