His Choices in Sheet Metal have been decidedly Eclectic. The 1947 Doge Power Wagon which resided in the back yard until Mom put her foot down was a beauty.... For a given definition of Beauty. I remember driving down to New Jersey to pick up a Volvo that was held together by rust and mold and probably a target of a NJ Board of Health alert with him. That was an adventure. Don't know if that ever ran. He had parts of three (3) MG's he managed to keep running somehow stashed in the one room school house next door along with an ulta light powered by a VW Air cooled engine. As He has gotten older, the choices have been different. The Ford ambulance with the 7.3 Diesel engine you just could not kill for his work truck. His then wife couldn't stand it. I told him to keep it just because. She didn't like me anyway. So he has some discretionary money he has managed to accumulate despite her best efforts. So He got this</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UL-RViI-RC8/YGooAW5ZwDI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/apXhXuav1lkeNBoqO69s2NgdwTow8eH2gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/output1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UL-RViI-RC8/YGooAW5ZwDI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/apXhXuav1lkeNBoqO69s2NgdwTow8eH2gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/output1.jpg" /></a></div>Ok, cool. Needs work but he quit smoking and had to spend his money somewhere. <p></p><p><br /></p><p>So he calls me and tells me he has sold the Buick and is looking to buy THIS Car. 1966 Chrysler New Yorker with a 440 and an immaculate interior.

That my Friends, is a French Citroen. A brace of them to be exact. Now my tastes tends to run to European iron, generally Swedish and German. RIP Saab. Italian's make Beautiful Rides but way too expensive to maintain and given my luck I would blow them up with Prejudice. The Brits invented Bad wiring (Lucas) but designed nice rides. I said designed, can't keep them running without your own mech and garage. Which leaves us the French. I am down with the Skoda, Hell they are part of the VW corporation and make solid cars, except that German engineering influence thing but they are forgiven for that. But Seriously a Citroen? Except for RED II where they crashed one deliberately, I have never seen a French Car outside of a movie. And a French movie at that. I'll take the New Yorker.

Heading down Tinker AFB for some Time with a Brother by a Different Mother when I came up on a Accident involving a Two Horse trailer that had come unhitched from Its prime mover. It had run off the road and buried the tongue in the dirt alongside the highway. The results were not optimal. One horse was killed on impact and they had a devil of a time getting the other one out of the trailer. One gentleman who stopped got a busted hand for his efforts. I pulled up and checked out the survivor. He had a laceration down the right forearm from the elbow to the knee. Ripped up pretty good. Shocky and shivering and a couple of folks were working on getting him calmed down. I pulled out the Israeli dressings and went to apply them to his cut. He didn't like that much so I let him chill for a bit. Had the one gentleman stand on his port side so he wouldn't move away from me and got down to wrapping up his leg. He didn't fuss too much this time and I got the second one on without too much trouble. Lady pulled up about the same time Missouri Highway Patrol got there. Said she was a Veterinarian and asked if I had cleaned out the wound, Told her I had been lucky just to get the bandages on without getting my ass kicked by a two thousand pound animal "Thank You very Much" and said she was more then welcome to give it a shot. Gave my info to the<br />Trooper and said Adios. Good kid. They are getting younger each day. Having had some horse vs Car accidents back in the day, asked Him what he was going to do about the dead one, He told me that was for the Tow Truck Driver to worry about. I got out of there before that illustrious gentleman got to perform that duty. Now I have to replace the dressings, not sure supply is going to accept my Explanation when I go in to request replacements.

Almost 200K on the engine and running great. The DAY after I get it home, I am getting on the interstate and "Booof". Loose all power, no throttle response and I am a glider at this point. Coast down to the next exit, get off and pull into the parking lot at the bottom of the ramp. Call Triple A and get towed to my mech. He finally gets to tear into it this am. Pulls the hose off the inter cooler and oil pours out. Best guess is the seals to the turbo took a powder and dumped oil into the air intake and drained down into the bottom of the inter cooler.<br />
