I was hand-to-mouth for many years. Really sucks being poor. Credit can be helpful many. For some it is an inescapable abyss. Now with a little bit of money and some assets I still live like a pauper. Except perhaps for the new weekender Porsche.

"For a stronger America!"

I foresee improved heat dissipation in your future! These cars do indeed collect a surprising amount of debris in their front heat exchangers/condensers. Did a 'center radiator' retrofit on the 982 to better its thermal management characteristics...with concurrent housekeeping.

Our electricity consumption averages ~240 kWh each month. One explanation why the cost of living is so low in California? Except oven, HVAC and water heater are natural gas. They're but another $50/month.

No trouble whatsoever with #8 in my GMT900 Sierra. I'm invariably pleased (and pleasantly surprised!) with its ease of serviceability. On some plugs I'll use the 3/8"-to-1/2" drive adapter to get enough room to twist on them (both directions) and torque 'em home. fwiw the OE ACDelco 41-110 -...
