[DeTomaso] Skinny spare, was Too Many Airplane Posts?

Yeah, we all know about Al Gore and his inventing e-mail, but aren't there
"rules" you can set up in Outlook Express, to not accept mail with certain
phrases, such as NPC ?  Big mistake though, think of the "gold" you'll be
missing.

On that note, I don't have AOL but my mom does.  Does having AOL mean you
cannot use Outlook or other e-mail programs?  I don't know where to find
saved mails, addresses, how to open attachments...and neither does my
mom...seems unnecessarily complicated.

Went back to the junkyard (trip #4 I think if the scouting mission is
counted) to make another attempt at removing those 14" daisy mags with the
G50 bias plys.  Some more ambitious person had taken the whole axle & the
wheels were gone.  It's a half-price weekend, so the place was packed.  As a
consolation, I picked up a 15" skinny spare to use on Pantera for $7.50.  I
did not ask if there was a core charge.  Not sure if the center hole in the
spare is big enough to fit on the Pantera, I'll have to try it one of these
days.

Oh, and I found $50 on the ground.  Thought about reporting it, but I just
figured I'd be stepping into a quagmire...maybe a month ago I found a big
needle nose vice grip and a leatherman tool, in the same trip.  What's the
man's-man rule on found money and tools at the junkyard?  I've certainly
lost plenty of tools there, so maybe I'm about even now.

Since it's the half-price weekend, I'm tempted to go back and see it I can
pull the rear disc brakes off an Explorer, though I don't know necessarily
that there is one there.  No old Crown Vics, and the two Lincolns I saw with
rear discs were a bigger bolt pattern.  Didn't remember the Explorer's have
5 on 4.5 till after I left.

Anyone really into the Vehicle Code?  I'm curious how wide a trailer can
be...seems I recall past a certain width fenders were required, but don't
recall the numbers.  Also I got a "courtesy citation" tonight (VW) where the
chick-officer wrote "license plate must be on the bumper".  Then drove off
with her license plate on the trunk lid, like ~60% of all cars have it.
Well, they've got the guns and the badges...

> Welcome to the ultra high-tech Pantera email list--the car forum where we
use technology older than the cars themselves (email was invented in the
1960's).  Don't want to read certain email messages?  Tough.  Your only
resolve is to delete them.  Either that, or use the companion high-tech web
interface to click on email messages.  If only there was a better way...
