    What did you do to your GN today?

    Hooked up the battery tender and put the cover on my '87 Turbo T. That pretty much takes care of this year!

    Positive or Negative?

    I like it! Maybe just cut the cables with an axe?

    Need some Michigan plates

    I've some platess that were used for years, we just put a new sticker on them. I don't recall when we went to the stickers instead of new plates each year.

    Positive or Negative?

    Dumb question from a Noob. When working on electrical do you disconnect the positive or negative battery terminal? I just installed a disconnect to the positive side because it was easier to get to and I didn't /don't think it really matters. But, a "friend" said it was a bad move. So, what do...

    Correcto!!!

    That's a good one! The only thing wrong is the Michigan reference. The last white guy living in Detroit was a liberal Democrat so he didn't believe in private ownership of guns. He was raped and murdered last December. Now, if he was a West Michigainian or a Yooper, having that small amount of...

    Cool Weather

    What a beautiful day! Drove the 87 Regal T to church this morning. Sky clear blue, temp about 35 F. The beast ran better than it has all year! Idle was smooth as a baby's butt and the turbo pushed me back in the seat just as nice as could be. I almost skipped church and kept driving.

    white text on a yellow button...

    I agree! My first gen Ipad doesn't like the white on yellow either. I can dim it by tapping the yellow but then the rest of the screen is dimmed also. Whine over.

    What point does one need a rear end girdle?

    You mean things on these actually break? Before I bought mine, I was told Black Cars are tough and last forever. Now it looks like that was a lie!

    Scanned this for you guys before it went in the trash

    Last September I bought my first 87 T type. It went to three car shows this summer. I realized after the first show that most folks have no idea what these cars are. I'm sure other owners have noticed that also. The last show had a GNX clone entered. It was a perfect clone but the owner had it...

    What did you do to your GN today?

    Put an air freshner in my 87 T type. It probably won't help much but I have to start somewhere. Last week I rewired the Scanmaster and the Vacuum/Boost gauge. Well somehow I managed to overload the 14 ga. wire and it filled the car with smoke. I pulled over and yanked the smoldering wires...

    The joy ride might be over.

    Any kids or step/kids? When my wife passed almost 9 yrs ago, her "adult" kids from her first marriage, became total butheads. The step daughter talked so much she made it easy to change my will. Now neither of them talk to me or come around. It's amazing what money will do at a time like this.
