The Original Old Farts Club

Call me nutz, but I've got the urge to buy a two stroke car/van. If I hadn't already invested money in my money pit (RR), I'd be actively chasing one down.

Was a big deal when they came out with 4stoke outboards till I believe Evenrude ? came out with a 2 stroke with better emissions than a four.

I think the old Sabbs were 2 cyc

Yes they were. 4speed on the tree, and a chain drive to rear axel. Saabmade their bones with aircraft, and it shows in those old cars. Blue smoke and all.

I had a new 84 Sabb 900 S and I loved it.
My greatest mistake was not taking my BIL Blk Sabb covertable 900s.
He was going to give it to me.
Sad after he bought a volvo sports car and wrecked the front lower spoiler on curbs a bunch of times.

As a lifelong mechanic I say use the fluids the manufacturer recommends for the specific vehicle or its components, for whatever that's worth.
If your engine requires regular fuel, use regular fuel. You're throwing money away and reducing efficiency, especially in today's hi-tech IC engines, if you use other than that specified by the engineers who, actually, do try to improve the automotive industry, despite the many, many times I cursed their design idiocies.
Like having to remove the steering column from a car to replace the starter. lol

amazing how much you have to take off to work.

Glad you came through it OK, Giggy. Nothing but some pain and healing standing in the way of you enjoying your line dancing career.

When I first started looking at two stroke cars, I really wanted a Vespa 400. At the time you could buy one running for around 4K. Price one now. Starting price is 10K.

I got the Honda eu2000-i to power a window A/C in the bedroom or the other window A/C I can install in the other end of the house where I am sitting now. Easypeasy to move the little darlin' to whichever window A/C is on deck. These two A/C's are stored in my garage. Takes ten minnits to put 'em in a window.

For 220v and my well, that is for my big, KEY START generator (that I turn on the first of each month to test) to run.

I wrote a formal printed checklist and hung it on my circuit breaker panel in a clear plastic holder that gives step-by-step destructions on how to disconnect from the World, and to start each breaker load one at a time. <-- This was my ole Engineer thingy at play to ensure absolutely anybody (eg: Beautiful Redwitch) could get power to the fridge/freezer/TV etc. without overloading the generator.

Oh. And there is a clear plastic holder with generator start/run destructions hanging on the big generator, too.

Down in Floriduh, I have found over the last 46 years living here that the real problems of hurricanes appear after the storm.

When we watch Cabin Masters on TV, we marvel at the tissue paper/tinfoil roofs they put on houses in Maine. My roof has nailed metal disks no more than an inch apart over the whole roof. <-- TINS. And the house is rebar'd every 18" from slab to roof.

If my house goes... it will go as a complete unit, slab and all.

thats what Aunt E M said Unc....
