I dragged a 1969 Citroen Ami 6 break (wagon) that I found abandoned in a local airport and bought for $30 - worked on it to make it a runner and drove it for the first semester of college - but decided to park it after that because I never had a longer than 10 minutes drive that did not end with me crawling all over it to fix it - and I used to get to classes late with grease all over my hands - moved to use the bus after that. I will have to find the image somewhere to scan but it looked like this one: If I had the sedan with the crazy window I would have kept it - but it was not really worth it for the wagon even tho it was a lot of fun to drive when it did drive (it is a 2CV with a bigger, heavier body) Years later, when we lived in Portland, I found another one (again a wagon) sold by a guy that worked in Barbur World Foods - it was in even a worse condition than the one I had so I did not get it. Next car I got when I actually had some money, it was a 1988 Alfa Romeo spider and my serial Alfa Romeo ownership was established.
Mine: Blue 1986 Toyota Camry LE Got it in the summer of 1996. Use money from my summer jobs in high school and bought it for $1500. That car lasted me for about 10 years. It also had a sun roof. Like you, I loved that car!
Nothing to reply to. I'm now too old to go to strip clubs. Wouldn't know what to look for although I do have a memory of it being a good thing.
1980 Ford fairmont graduation present. Sold it to a “friend”who drove it through the next door neighbors garage door. No pics. Didnt wanna break anyones phone. My second car was better though. A little yellow opal!!! The throttle cable broke on me once and i used a couple low E guitar strings to get me home. Yes im a fan of Mcguyver
I did that with a band on the road once in a VW microbus only it was Guatemalan belts somebody had a bunch of instead of guitar strings...the engine is in the back so we tugged on the belts chained together out the driver window to accelerate or decelerate...got us into Berkley....
My first car had a breaker plate in the distributor that would occasionally fail. I could stabilize the breaker plate with the gum stimulator off a tooth brush so I kept plenty of such tooth brushes on hand. The breaker plate would no longer rotate thereby advancing or retarding the spark but I could limp home on back roads going a maximum of 35 mph. I used to get stoned and then my plate would fail and I'd get this rush as I tried to fix it MacGyver style.
He’s probably telling the truth. https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2011/09/a_tektronix_oscilloscope_that.html
I don't thinks so. As the article confirms, nothing is actually moving faster than the speed of light. Nothing with physical properties ever does. Einstein's theory containing "C" still means the speed of light, not a Tek 7104. Rate as in sweep rate, does not covert to speed. The only thing in scope that could exceed "C" is the focal point of the beam sweep. The electron beam that is sweep across the CRT can be made to move at near C speed at the point of magnet field controlling the side to side sweep, which can become faster that C at the focal point. Faster by the lever arm length factor. But the focal point is not a thing, it is but the point of aim. A digitally controlled beam, could probably be made even faster but for what purpose? Circuits running such speed, are physically altered out of character by the touch of the daintiest probe, or even the most inventive sensor. IBM invented tools to serve in my day, I am sure Intel has their own today. The key of this scope was, it lite up the focal point on the screen at such speed. No way a phosphorous backed CRT screen could be lite up at that speed. We were have trouble scoping Computer circuits in the 70's at the sweep rates need as well as other problems with Scopes. Where Tek made the best there was.
