    If that is your old truck in one of the pictures (the Ford) the overheating could be caused by the misfiring.  And if it is misfiring a lot it could be a few things:  bad distributor, bad brain (meaning coil), or a crack in a valve head.  If you was replacing water often in the radiator, and while running if the exhaust had a lot of moisture in it, chances are a head was cracked.  Might make for an interesting project.  That's one of those things where you could pull the motor, completely strip it down, and rebuild it from the ground up.
    I understand the need for electric cars but I will still love the internal combustion engines.  If done right they can sound amazing.  I miss my '79 Monte Carlo.

    I had a Mercury Sable (Mercury version of your Crown Vic) I bought off a sign shop I was working at in 1998.  Nice car, well cared for, but had a mechanical issue no one could figure out.  I had it a year before the transmission just went out.  But I now know why it went it.  So a bit of advice should it happen to you.  If you find your car just leaking transmission fluid from a hole in the transmission that "hole" is a pressure relief valve.  Mine was doing just that.  Come to find out the whole reason why the transmission was "relieving" itself was because it was getting too hot.  And it was getting too hot because the water pump was not pumping water all the time like it should have.  So, in reality, I was literally burning up the transmission.  It finally just gave out after a year of owning it.  A new one cost as much as I paid for the car which was around $1,800.  So, do you and your new beautiful car a favor, if it starts leaking transmission fluid and the seals/gaskets are good, change that water pump.  Fight with any mechanic who tells you otherwise...change that water pump.
    Otherwise, that is a sweet car and with only 44,000 miles it's not even broke in yet.  Most engines don't break in until after 50,000 miles so you have a few thousand miles to go.  Hell, it may still have mechanical parts still under warranty.  Yea...that guy got taken to the bank by whoever he took the car to.  No work should total to that much.  The cost of a new engine and transmission together don't cost quite that much.  I loved my Mercury Sable.  It had a nice ride, was very comfortable, drove good, got good gas mileage as well.  Unfortunately, the sign shop painted their vehicles red, white, and blue to match company colors and they painted over the original metallic charcoal gray paint but the red cloth interior was immaculate.  Stereo sounded really good as well.  Everything worked except cruise control but only because the button was worn out from the many trips the shop owners took out of town to try to nab customers with proposals.  
    I'm betting yours has a V8.  Those seem to be common in Vics.  Mine had a V6.

    If it is me, Golgo 13 (NES) and Zaxxon (2600), please.  If they’ve already been taken, let me know. Reception out here at the campsite is terrible and pages are taking forever to load. I think I drained most of my battery posting a picture on FB earlier. lol

    Atari 5200 Guy got a reaction from Atari Creep in Two Atari Arcade Minis Coming in 2019   
    I just saw this.  I like the My Arcade ones even though they are NES games.  These games are games I never got for my NES.  I think I rented Bad Dudes and Karate Champ before but wasn't any good at them and only rented them once or twice.  Galaxian we never got for the NES on the Western side so it is a really nice port.
    The Atari arcade one with 5 games on it would have been better in my opinion if it would have used arcade ROMs instead of trying to revitalize 2600 games...again.  There are so many flashback and plug n play consoles with repeated 2600 titles that it almost seems like overkill.  I understand its for those that don't have a 2600 nor ever heard of it...it just seems a bit overkill to me.  
    The Pong unit?  That looks awesome!
