What Did You Do With Your Tbird Today?

Paul that gives me hope..I'm at 116k

Greg, you've got miles and years of enjoyment left in yours. We did an 800+ mile trip over the last two days without a hiccup. Averaged 22+mpg driving 75-80mph most of the way. Not bad for an almost 22 year old car that was rated at 23mpg at 55mph from the factory. That "Jaguar" engine that was built in Ohio doesn't leak or burn a drop of the Motorcraft 5-20 semisynthetiic oil like came in it. But to hear all the internet experts talk, you'd think Ford made a huge mistake using the 3.9 in our cars. I can't, don't and won't ever complain about it.

Cleaned the windows and put my luggage in the trunk, 7:00 am start down I-75 tomorrow. Lexington/Knoxville or somewhere in between will be my goal for the day, then arrive Sunday to Dahlonega Georgia.

Around 4 AM, I logged in at AAA and requested battery service which typically has a 3-hour wait time so I was shocked when my 2nd text message was from the technician saying he'd be arriving at 4:45 AM. By 5:30 AM, I was at the car wash to rinse off the garage dust. When I got home, I went back to sleep for 2 hours!

I can't believe it's been 11 years since my purchase and currently have 10,866 miles. Perhaps 2023 will be the year I finally break 11K.

May 12th.... celebrated the 20th anniversary of driving it home. My part-time driver now has 170,000 miles in a big part due to TBN. Thank you!

Took the 'bird to the doctor today. I've been having a problem with a parasitic draw in the electrical system somewhere. Can't seem to find it on my ownsome, so it has gone to the auto-electric shop for a few days. Hopefully the right wizard there can exorcize the demon.

Gave mine a bird bath. Getting ready for tomorrow’s ice cream social in the Lehigh Valley.

Let us all know what they find. There are others who have similar symptoms.

On the weekend, I installed the new trunk struts that I bought off of Amazon.
Inexpensive and easy to install. No more trunk lid dropping on my head!

The local glass guy who replaced my windshield a while back just installed new 'chrome' reveal moldings around the windshield for me. The side moldings have finally failed enough that I went for a new full set. They must attach using an 11/32" deep socket because I found one on the floor of the car when I got home.

I’ve been using mine as a daily driver for the past few days. The AC has gone out in my Chrysler. I’ll look into fixing it tomorrow. Getting lots of thumbs up from people as I drive it around.

Rebuilt the power window motor in the driver’s door of my’75. Working like a charm now.
