New circular saw

I still favor a Skil Worm Drive, but they are not cheap.

Just about any car in the seventies rusted away in 3 or 4 years.

Quality seldom is.

My '74 Rustang II (a Pinto in drag) disappeared and I replaced it with a '78 Granada that I had for fourteen years before I gave it away. It looked like a Liberian Tanker but it ran.

"We" had a Granada of comparable vintage: 6-cylinder, about 8 mpg city (really and truly), no performance. That was when gas was spiking at about $1.51_9 too!

We had the 250CID straight-six too. Nice engine, though points were a PITA. It was always in the 30s and raining when I had to change them. I got about twice the gas mileage you did, probably because I had the three on the tree.

HAHAHA! I had a Mustang II. I called it the Christmas Tree because every body panel was a different color.

That depended on your location. I lived 3 miles from the gulf coast and my 72 Vega had no rust even when I got rid of it 4 years later. For that matter none of my parents vehicles rusted in the same location over a 20 year period.

You lack the salt on the roads for a few months in the winter would be my thought. The rust belt has a few meanings.

None of 'em good. ;)

I don't know about that. This rust belt looks good to me.

Precisely.

My parents had a '76 Granada. My dad really wanted the 3-speed manual but my mom said 'no'

Their mechanic always called it the "Gernade", not too bad of a car, but the c4 automatic kept him well funded. They were choosing between it and a Plymouth Volare, I think they won the coin toss...

Yeah, that was a couple of decades before my wife started saying "no" to sticks. ;-) We even had '85 and '90 minivans with sticks but she now drives a Mustang convertible with an automatic and wouldn't let me buy a stick for my last two pickups, even.

That's the truth! The Chryslers of that era were horrible. They never improved.

one's list. It should be in today and we will see if it lives up to its bi lling.

Not to derail the thread, but how do you like it? It is a pretty popular s aw on the job site as it is pretty light weight and seems to have plenty of power. The only gripe I ever hear is that some think it is too big. Neve r heard a complaint about its performance, though.
