Morning Lessons
 
So my daughter wanted a ride to school this morning because she had a big load of goodies for her homeroom class. I'd picked her up one day this week in the Cobra, so when she asked for a ride and I said okay, she went on, "How about a RIIIIDE?"

So out we go, and on the 7:30 am jaunt I learned a few things.
  1. The headlights work.
  2. The heater works. Who'da thunk?
  3. Sidepipe roar and exhaust fumes are better than caffeine.
  4. There's no clock in a Cobra because it's always 1965.

Strike #2, not needed. When I first got my car I was so excited to have it I was driving it 30 miles one way to work in December. No rain but it got cold. What was I thinking????

You have a top? Or are you just creating global warming?

The water temp actually came up fast enough to make the heater blow pleasantly warm in the morning chill. It wasn't until the return trip that the warm front from the engine took over.

I drove a huge '68 Merc station wagon for almost ten years. It overheated frequently, finally popped a freeze plug (or cracked the block - couldn't see that spot) and never had a working heater after the first year. I learned to live with the climate. Now I'm a wuss and fiddle with the temp setting all the time.

I miss that car, though. It was just... "one of those."

Yes, a heater is very useful. Wish I would have had it in years ago. Also have an analog clock in the dash. Use it all the time.
