sweet -- the SL1s kicked butt on mileage

Pretty sure manifold air pressure triggers the a/c cutout on my car. Keith is right, most cars built in the last 20 years have some sort of wide open throttle a/c cutout.

Said "no way" sarcastically out of surprise --which is why he answered with "yes way".....I do not doubt Keith's answers on things unless they are sufficiently bizarre so as to warrant further investigation. And when I do further investigate for my own learning purposes, turns out he's usually right.....:)

derf, I like your avatar of that Tuxedo. I have a similar one but his mask is only on the left side of his face, so I call him Phantom.

Why thank you. Shame I missed the top of his head when taking the photo (he moved). He's 16 and his old bones are starting to hurt. Lab tests say he's in renal failure.

Zeke says he's just fine and goes about his normal daily routine.

Actually taking him back in for a re check of that creatinine result which indicated renal failure, and another test for heart disease which he has.

For anyone with an old cat showing signs of stiffness, there is a product called "Dasuquin for Cats". It's like osteo-biflex for cats and IT WORKS. Takes a week or two to reach full effectiveness but your buddy/budette will thank you for the mobility they gain back. Not cheap but effective.

Check with your vet first, of course.

I don't know how old my Tuxedo Maine Coon is, he was dumped out here by someone and adopted us. My previous buddy was 27.5 years old when he reached the point that he was in too much pain to go on. This on tests positive or FIV (HIV for cats) but he is very healthy and I won't put him down, at least not as long as he is in good health.

27.5? yo....you clearly maintain your family members as well as your cars

Yeah, they did... Honestly, it lakes me re-think the thought of getting a manual trans SL2 for a daily driver(to keep the miles off my Redline)... Maybe I should be shopping for a simple cam car?

Single cam 3rd gens are only 100hp, but that is plenty when you get the stick shift.

We had an automatic SL1, but it was gutless in the hills... The transmission programming didn't help much...
