I have been meaning ask a question to all of you, but I am really busy reading and responding as well as I can to your posts, and then I forget.

Do you remember your first car? I was born 1952, and my first car was a 1952 VW Beetle. I love that car. IT had kilometer speedo, an 36 hp. I had purchase a fire extinguisher that looked like a can of shaving cream for about a dollar, for just in case.

Wouldn,t you know, but had fuel line leak, and I looked in my mirror and could see flames. I thought "O" know! But I remember I had a fire extinguisher. The fire was out of control, and just barely opened the engine hood, and sprayed under the hood. To my amazement the fire went out, and I opened the hood, and spayed it some more just to be sure the fire was out. I tightened the fuel fitting with tools I always carried, and fired it up (pun intended), and drove home.

A little bit of wiring replacement, some sanding and spray paint on the hood and she was as as before. I am glad I was an Eagle Scout and was prepared.

At least I did one thing right🙂
