Old Man with a Hat
Weather-guessers said "Not gonna rain til at least 1pm today, no worries!"...must be nice to have a job where you are wrong far more than right and get paid, too! Woke up at 5am to get the Imperial ready for a parade. Washed the car, vacuumed it, and got it pretty. Went to the tire store to check the tire pressures, since my compressor went tits-up, when it started to sprinkle. No biggie. Left the tire store, and it pissed down rain, like driving in a full bathtub! Crap! Thankfully, I hadn't put the top down yet! Now, the right wiper starts to loosen. Exit the highway, apply the brakes, and the booster is hissing loudly from in the car, signaling it intends to die. I stop, fix the wiper, and start back home...hoping to hell I don't have the need to make an emergency stop! I make the ten miles home; the downpour continues unabated. , but it was as dry as can be two blocks from home, go figure, right?
So, now I need to find someone that will rebuild the Imperial booster. This was the first time I'd had the car out for more than a mile in over a year. Once I charged the battery, it started on the first pull, and runs fantastic! Stopping is a very scary proposition right now. Guess I'll mark that as the next thing to do on the convertible, and install a dual-circuit master cylinder, at the same time.
