I wouldnt believe this but saw the pictures. After seeing the critter I thought of this. My sister had a bakery on my parents road. A woman who worked up the road stopped and picked up some stuff and went to leave and her ford ranger wouldnt start. Her brother came down and got to looking and found a ball python about 4 foot long around the engine. Thank God I wasnt there or I would have died. They coaxed it out with a golf club and it headed toward the creek behind my sisters shop. They decided that might not be a good idea so the brother took it home and kept it. All we can think is the ranger lady lived in an apartment complex and it must have crawled up there in the night and she gave it a ride. I am not sure if it could have been shorting the starter out or what the starting issue was. I need to see if anyone still has pictures.

Bill, I would have to say yes. I had a 1985 BMW 325e that had a short that fried the entire fuse box/electrical system and the insurance company totaled that car.

Some of them 'fixes' look familiar from back when I was a poor 17 year old !!
The vise grip on the battery terminal...the can around the exhaust pipe w/radiator hose clamps.

The best was my friend's nova with most of a tastykake box used as water pump gaskets !! He did not even trim the excess box !!!

My plate looks just like this one. Refuse to buy new plates.

Why not just remove the years prior sticker instead?

I know that you have a heck of a time getting one sticker off of the plate with out making a mess of the paint but after a couple you can get a razor blade under them,leaving one on the plate

That looks like the wiring on the '83 Pace Arrow RV that I just stripped.

This photo brings back a bad memory . . .

I took my kids to the movies at the Pyrimad Mall in Ithaca, NY. At the time I had a 1969 SS 396 Camaro with an aftermarket wood steering wheel (Grant?) and wooden shift knob (4 speed).

When I got into the drivers seat, after leaving the theater, I noticed I had A LOT of room - then noticed someone had broken into my car and stolen my steering wheel and shift knob. So I went into the trunk and got the biggest pair of Vice Grips I had then drove the car back to my apartment complex, dropped the kids off then drove it down the BIG ITHACA HILL in the right lane limping along at 25 MPH (it's a 55 MPH road) until I reached town and located a car parts store that had both a steering wheel and shift knob - again I think they were Grants.

Not a lot of fun driving a car using a pair of Vice Grips instead of a steering wheel and at the same time shifting a manual trans with no knob.
