The four guys that stopped to see if I needed help........probably wouldn't have happened if I was in the DD. The last guy, after I told him "I didn't need any help, thank you,It will either be a really quick fix once the engine cools down a bit, or a tow truck, There won't be any inbetweens." wanted to get out and look at my car. He was the Ford guy I mentioned, and had a Chevy Nova owner with him.. Owns amoung other stuff, a 428 Cobra Jet Torino. We all spent 10 minutes or so figuring out where that black stuff was coming from, and they agreed it was most likely the A/C system.
Definetly learned a few more "things are not always what they seem" lessons on that trip between the black stuff and the cure for my power window slowdowns.

OH MY! What a story. Now I know why you may not make it to Colorado, as I just read this, nuf said.

RICH MUISE · 2019-09-01 20:06

The car would be fine for Colorado, I'm worn out. my wife has had joint issues for months now, has a hard time doing housework. I'm not sure her cousin ever knew how, lol. She tries, but it's like a few months ago when I caught her cleaning spots on the carpet with a cleaner containing bleach. Yes, we now have light spots in a few places. Unfortunately it's something I'm real good at when it needs a thorough cleaning, just don't want to do it often any more. We've got 26 coming for a bar b que tomorrow, so I've been cleaning all week, yard work, etc. I'm still not done.......gotta go...........

TWENTY-SIX?!?!?! Yikes! That's about 22 too many! LOL!!! Hope they are all driving the Blue Oval. And where are they all gonna park? YOU don't have that many spots even with the back yard opened up.

RICH MUISE · 2019-09-01 22:39

Families.......there won't be more than another 8 cars or so.........I can fit 16 in my front driveway......or about 10 if we leave one side of the drive open so cars don't get blocked in. I do believe the only blue oval here tomorrow will be the one in my garage.

I am so happy that my sisters no longer like me! LOL!!! No visits!

And I don't know too many people that don't own Fords...

Most definitely do not know 26 that don't drive the Blue Oval! (whew!)

Rick, when I read your bad luck stories, I realize that I'm not the only one born under the wrong star. seams like some things just happen, but sometimes in my case they are self induced. Take care, Alvin

Just dropping in to say Hi! I will say that mornings are not my thing. Maybe that time frame will be more and more to my liking as I progress through my retirement, but after 10 years I can't really see that happening!! LOL

Rich
All l can say is that your kind of fun on a long trip is not fun. I'm happy for you that you made it home safely. If l'm reading it correctly, did a Chevy guy help you? If so maybe some of them are OK.

Welcome to the forum Scott. I'm not a morning person either.....that's why I just plop my butt down in front of the computer after I grab my coffee.

RICH MUISE · 2019-09-12 14:57

Scott, I just saw your recent email to me. I'm going to post it here in case others have the same problem/questions.
"just curious, is there a site to sign in or anything like that? when i go to 57fordsforever.com , there are a lot of "missing" pages and links, etc. I understand from reading that someone acquired the site a couple years ago and is still working on getting the site back up and running
Scott"
I suspect you're getting to the www.1957ford.com forum, (or at least that's a link you're refering to), which is now under the same ownership as this forum. This is www.57fordsforever.com , which I'm assuming you're getting on to ok since you did your first post this morning. 1957ford.com is still being worked on as James has the time. He's put hundreds of hours in trying to salvage what was a "crashed" site.
This, and another email I just got are the first I've heard about issues with this forum, if there are any. Sometimes the members that stay logged in "forever" don't see the same things, or have logging in issues, that the newbies experience.
I'll see what I can find out.

Doesn't matter which direction it goes...with THAT on top...it will be the RIGHT direction! Oh YEA!!!

Hi Rich, some of the things I noticed are when I go to Paint & Trim, I don't see any sample colors and there is no information on the Exterior page. When I go to the Models page, all the links I click on go to a page that says 404: File Not Found. I'm not sure if these are pages that have just not been updated, or if there is a problem. I do love the Forum and all the info I have found!!
