Two bad bulbs in one day is quite a coinky-dink. Vandalism perhaps?

Thanks for giving Rick something meaningful to work with

No need to supply your license plate number "we" already have that: LATER4U

"We" are good aren't "we"

Ok, you're right. My driver's side signal light is burnt out. How do you fix that?

[Deleted]

It's the french accent that turns you on isn't it?

[TD2K]

But of course. And your U fetish of course


< in my best Pepe le Pew accent >

That French Maid's outfit you have doesn't hurt either.

[rick]

LOL you guys, ok, you will more than likely have to pull the light assy out. I dont remember if you have room to remove the bulb or not. Once you can get to the buld, you twist to remove the socket, and the buld pushes in, pulls out

[TD2K]

< pushes in, pulls out >


Lateur can handle it.

I had three break lights go in 2 days.l The first time the cop was nice and said he just wanted to let me know so I could fix it. Later in the same day after I fixed it another cop stops me and tells me the same thing. Luckily I still had the receipt in the car. He also told me to just get it fixed.

Then the next morning a third cop stops me and tells me I have a brake light out. (They really don't have anything to do here in the off season ) I swear I thought I was being punked but sure enough it was a different light again.
So I replaced them all that time! If they stop me again I am going to start stalking the neighbor's teenagers because them have to be punking me!

LOL.Good one..
You know I once had a guy bring an Old Corvair by for me to look at, It was running rather hot.
Now, all I really know about corvairs and them running hot is that sometimes if they have a bad Oil leak they tend to do that.
So I looked around and found that it was leaking pretty badly round the oil pan... I told him..
He told me it had to be with the Cooling system... (can You see where this is going Rick?) Sooo,,
I told him then he ought to go to the Autozone and tell them he needed a New water pump for his Corvair...
I got a call From the guy at Autozone (who I know really well) and he said -" There is a guy here who said you told him to come get a water pump for a Corvair, Umm You know there is No water pump on a corvair, Right?"
I told the guy "yes I know they are AIR COOLED and have no Radiator or water pump, and that his problem is most likely due to a bad oil leak,, But he Insisted It had to be with the cooling system... Guess we both now know he doesn't have a clue"..

For those less Mechanically inclined, corvairs were Completely Air Cooled, they had no Coolant, Water pump Or Radiator..

OMG!! I'm seriously LOL right now!! My parents belong to Corsa and NTCA (Corvair car club) since 1980. My very first car memory was watching my dad rebuild the engine for their Lakewood station wagon - he said that was in 1979 (I don't remember the year of the wagon now, but I want to say it was 1960). My very first car in 1990 was a 1962 Corvair Coupe - bought it for $400. My brother and I laugh about it now, but when we were growning up, our vacations included going to the annual Corvair Convention with our parents. Every.single.vacation. we broke down in some way or fashion on the way to/from the convention if we were in a Corvair.


My Corvair was always breaking down on me, but I learned very quickly how to fix it with nothing more than a 9/16" wrench, soft mallet and flat head screwdriver, along with spare belts and hoses (it was always throwing a belt, distributor going out of timing (the shaft was so loose, going over a hard bump would knock it out) - I got really good eyeballing the timing - and popping vacuum hoses). The one thing it didn't have was an oil leak (which was one of the things they were famous for).

I remember one time at the lake, three teenage guys stopped by to talk to me and look at my car (nope, the guys never wanted to flirt with me, it was always about my car! ). They wanted to see the engine, so I popped the "trunk" - that threw them off. All three had their heads under the hood when one of them popped up and said, "I bet it's a b*tch to get to the water pump". What water pump? I asked. Pointing to the fan shroud, the kid said the one under there. I looked at him and said, if you look really close, you won't find a radiator. All three popped under the hood again and then the same guy insisted it was at the front of the vehicle. I had to show them the front was where my spare tire, belts and tools were kept.

I have so many fond, hateful memories of Corvairs!! ;D

[KaraBoo]

I totally forgot to reply to what made me laugh!! I got so caught up in memories that it slipped my mind!!

When I met DH, he had no idea what a Corvair was (only a couple of years older than me and just had never heard of them - typical of a lot of people - they always ask me what foreign country they are from). Dad still had several that he was renovating at the time, so DH was brought up to speed quickly. One day, while driving home, we passed a service truck that was for vehicle radiators with a 1-800 number on the side.

DH called the number and asked if they had a radiator for a 1962 Corvair coupe as he had just bought one and was trying to get it running. I'm about to die laughing, while trying to hold it in and DH's over there being all serious with the guy. He had that poor service tech on the phone for around 20 minutes before the guy finally said - he didn't think they had one. DH thanked him for looking and hung up.

I love that man!!

[rick]

LOL good stories

[KaraBoo]

Thank you!

You know - I was scared to death of buying my next vehicle - a brand new 1995 Chevy Beretta. It had a radiator, antifreeze, water pump and thermostat. I didn't know what to do with all of those extra parts! I was around Corvairs so much growing up that Dad never showed me what to do about maintenance for that system.

Once I realized with the new car I had a/c, heat in the winter time (instead of the summer), the defrosters worked without keeping the windows down in all weather, and I didn't have to peel myself off of the vinyl seats - all was good in life!! ;D

[zkman2002]

ah the old corvairs, heres 1 from the old memory banks, i had a 65 corvair corsa, ralph nadar said they were "unsafe at any speed" on the 1 i had he was right, it had a 283 small block chevy motor in it! man that thing would fly! you had to retighten the lug nuts after a high speed run though, lol.
