Now I have 3 non-functioning cars.

My Cobra got no attention this week. My Passat started alarming with coolant system issues. I have an appointment for a test on Monday. So I borrowed my mom's Toyota RAV4 for the week and it broke down too with a very nasty tapping noise in the engine. Could be a lifter or timing belt problem maybe. That waits til the Passat gets fixed.

Add to that, my 1990 RCA TV died this week. I got a replacement Panasonic from 2001 via Craigslist for $25. Works great, but the one problem I had was getting it put into the cubbyhole of my entertainment center. My neck is still so bad that I can't lift a can of soda, much less a gargantuan old TV. A little ingenuity for a car guy and the problem was solved.



Oh, here is the picture I promised of my ignition system installed on the passenger side footbox.
