Merry Christmas from Kansas!

Well, Christmas is almost here and the weatherman is predicting 4-6" of snow between tomorrow and Friday!

After successfully registering the Scorpio, I was able to drive it around for a couple of days before having any issues :( 

Apparently the 22 year old radiator has decided to quit. I saw some antifreeze underneath the car on Friday.  I opened the hood and look closer and realized that the radiator was leaking on the passenger side where the plastic tank meats the radiator core.  I am debating on whether to buy a new one now, or just swap out the other 22 year old radiator out of the blue Scorpio that is still in good order.

I will keep you posted.

Again,  Merry Christmas to all, and safe travels if you have to make a trip this holiday!

Officially Registered in Kansas!

Today was a good day.  I got the Scorpio officially registered in Kansas.  It also got its first extended test drive.  It went fairly well.  The brakes are in good shape, very little shimmy, the tires need to be replaced.  They are the wrong size and have a good deal of vibration.  The alternator belt is either loose or bad, it makes a loud noise when the car is running.  Other than those items it was a successfull test drive.
