OK you Canadian friends of mine. Take your cold air back! Quit sending it here! Monday it was 80, yesterday it was 78*. This morning it was 37*. Quit sending the cold air here. Stop it! Since Al Gore invented the internet and claimed that the Earth is warming you've been sending all you cold air here. Keep it for the polar bears, we don't want it. The last three years here have been the coldest in the last 20. Plus all the cold air caused 71 tornados in the southern states last Saturday. So, maybe our governments can make a trade. Canada you keep your cold air and California will keep our emissions standards...Deal?
The US will have to figure a way to charge US Customs on it. From where you are, though, its from the REV's wet coast. You couldn't take ours. It comes from West of Alaska and Mongolia, over the Pole. It's a new version of the Cold War.
We got snow too in the local mountains. Pretty to look at but very very unusual for this time of year. It's much easier to blame Canada. We can't complain to Mongolia. Maybe we can tax Alaska....
I was hoping for about 70-75 but I think it's going to be hotter. I'm replacing my worn out A/C clutch Friday just in case.
Auto zone. I really hadn't been looking as I assumed it was over $100. I paid $29.00 after my $20.00 discount from my rewards card. Even though I returned the junk Holley carb I still ended up with the discount. On another discount subject we are up to over $1.00 off gasoline at the local Albertson's super market. Next time I need gas it's a dollar off per gallon up to 20 gallons. My friend at work is up to $1.85 off per gallon. It's 5 cents off for every purchase over $20 or something like that. Ya gotta have food. The prices are good anyway so we take advantage of the gas discount.
OK my Canadian friends. I should have been more clear. You reacted to my request almost immediately. I'll be south of LA on Sunday and now it's supposted to be over 90*. What I meant to ask for was take some of the cold back....not all.:banghead3: At least my A/C will work for the trip to the Fabulous Fords Forever show.
The Ford Fairmonts came out, just before the Fairmont hotel chain started rebranding all the fine, fancy hotels across the continent, then they started naming the over-40's, hot, aggressive gals -Cougars. Zephyr are the only evidence of Male car names.:banghead3: Nothing's sacred. No vestige of Masculine in our cars. We've been sabotaged! Oh, well, at least we keep them running right. The cars.
Just before Ford had hired Mullaly as CEO Bill Ford had declared that all fords would have F names and Mercury's would have M names. I guess the marketeers didn't think that it would work thus: Fairlane became Flex 500 became Taurus Montego became Sable We also got Focus instead of Escort and Fusion instead of ???. So they almost got everything to F names. For a while Mercury did have all M names. Milan, Montego, Mountaineer and Marquis. They actuall thought Taurus would sell better than 500. And Sable could sell better than Montego. What will make them sell better is installing a more powerfull engine and restyle them so they don't look so frumpy. They certainly couldn't rename Mustang to Fustang
So they could Flex their Bull wearing a Sable jacket... In Business school, the Marketing prof kept having us do marketing studies on who, in the family, made the buying decision. Consumer goods - Women, Tools and mach-ines - Men. We knew it was women for consumer goods, but their rationales for brand choices was beyond anyone's guesses. Good thing I guess, because it kept a lot of people employed. Now, there's too many that look like bubble-gum cars. There's not much really distinct between brands, and we know the power plants are imported anyway. Mopar radios from Mitsubishi, Infinity, JBL, Harmon - all with the same circuit boards and chips?!? Its all cosmetic. No superior engineering. Like they've hit a technological plateau and focussed on fluff! :rant:
