My 83 year old dad ran into a bit of car trouble today on his way to Santa Fe to look at a jobsite...
Stick a fork in it...it's done. That used to be a 1988 Mustang convertible. Now it's a carbeque. Dad won the car new as a door prize at an engineering convention he attended 25 years ago this month. (The license plate has always said DORPRZ, even for the few years in was registered in Nevada). It started running funky just before he got into Santa Fe this morning, and once he got into town he spotted smoke coming from under the hood. He ditched it in the left turn lane of an intersection and called 911, but by the time the firefighters got there it was fully involved. Fortunately, he was unharmed, but he was bummed because he lost his favorite hard hat in the trunk. It had many years worth of collected jobsite and project stickers.
