When I was in the Border Patrol (1976) I bought a 1966 2dr hardtop Nova with 6 cyl auto in El Paso, Texas.  I was transferred to the Canadian border (NY) and brought the Nova with me, put in a small block and painted it. Around 1979 I was being transferred again and sold the car.

About 15 years ago my son spotted the car sitting in a guys yard and tried to buy it but he wouldn't sell it.  My son always liked that car. Over the the years I became friends with the guy through a local car club after I returned to the area.  Told him I wanted first dibs if he ever wanted to sell it. The car went through 3 owners that I know of.

In that 15 years he took the car completely apart, blasted the body, sealed it, put in new floor etc and it sat on horses in his garage. The NY roads took a toll on the panels.

This week he finally threw in the towel and sold me the car (many piece project).  It's still on horses, i'm making a body trolley to get it back home!

Looks like I have a father, son, grandson project that will now stay in the family. Will be looking for 66 Nova parts if you have any!

You can go to Pep Boys and purchase a choke cable or multi-purpose cable for $15 to use as a lock-out cable if you are unable to find an original.

Planning on a round trip to Missouri this May and would like to pay for fuel without using my primary debit card. Over the years my debit card has been compromised probably while purchasing gas at out of state gas stations.  (I look for skimmers etc) My funds are replaced by the bank but I'm out of a card for about a week

Would be a PITA if my card is shut down during a long trip.  So I am seeking any suggestions as to prepaid or refillable cards that I could use.  Looking for a card that can be used at most fuel stations if possible.  Let's say (for example) could one purchase several $250 pre paid debit cards and would the pumps know the balance for each card?

On a side note I signed up for text alerts each time my card is used to make a purchase..I like the text alerts but if I didn't make the purchase I'll need to shut down my card (and wait for a replacement..not good)

Tucker Carlson (Fox 8pm EST) will be releasing unmodified videos from the Capital Jan 6th riot.  Should be interesting to see if the Jan 6th Committee juiced them up.
