Being kinda frugal I painted the stock ones to see how they hold up. Toyota headlights too.
You'll gain 5 HPs if you take the snorkel off.
yea, but you'll gain at least 10MPG if you use a FRAM oil filter !!!!
My throwout bearing exploded which was fun
First computer I ever touched was a UNIVAC 90/70 that our local community college had bought from DisneyLand. The on-campus joke was that Mickey Mouse was still in the thing - flaky as hell and down more often than the stock market. Over the Xmas break, the air conditioning in the computer room first froze up, then thawed - dumping water into the thing. It was down for months, and when it finally came back up, it was even worse that it had been before - FAR worse. It was replaced with an IBM 370 after I graduated. I still remember several commands, EXEC $BASIC and how to find and kick off another user. First place I ever played ADVENT as well.
Then I got a Model 1 TRS-80, did tons of bad BASIC on it, as well as a bit of assembler. Later, I actually worked with one of the two guys that had formed "Small System Software", the creators of the various RSM monitor programs and others. Then I got an IMSAI-8080, which I still have - wrote tons of assembly language on it, which was the genesis of my writing same professionally for about a decade. In mid-1981, IBM introduced their PC, which was a combination of the worst features of the TRS-80 and Apple ][+ with the best features of neither. Thing was a joke, but it took over the world. If they had only used the Motorola 68K family...
I’m curious. First computer i used was a Comedore Vic 20 then a 64. After that in the mid 80’s (as an elementary student) i was taking an introduction to DOS at my high school on some early model Apple.
I got a new phone. I'm not sure I can mount it to my visor like my current phone.
Squealed for a bit...I was at a friend's house for the night...it died entirely on pulling into the parking lot for hockey in the morning. And I'd only used the clutch twice in the half hour drive. After the game I Limped it home with no clutch

Computers are highly over rated. We put men on the moon in 1969 with a slide rule.
My first 'real' (i.e work) computer was the PDP-9. 64KB of RAM, so memory management was huge. DEC claimed they had a FORTRAN II compiler, but it never worked, so we had to code in Assembler. Yes, it is bad when you dream in Assembler language, but it happens.
There is a line from one of the old Travis McGee books: Travis is walking through the mall and sees 100 kids in the arcade playing video games and then sees one kid in Radio Shack writing code for the TRs-80. He opines that those 100 kids are going to make that one kid a lot of money.
Now that you mention, I too am old; at least according to my grand kids. I also still have my slide rule, which was also used to design the first computers. It always works, never needs charging, and is sort of elegant in the use of logarithmic scales. The calculator in my phone is more powerful and functional than my first five hand held calculators. (And it does dec-hex conversions!)
