Starters, you mean? Yeah, was looking at it and wondered just how well it could possibly work. Especially since I've had problems just from summer heat without the engine running. The heat saps just enough to be a problem. Old parts is old parts. Started fine for years. Now, not so much.
I once bought a Subaru wagon at a yard sale for $100. They said the FWD didn't work, but it drove OK on the rear axle. When I got it home (under it's own power!) I got under it and discovered the exhaust manifold was directly underneath the CV joint and it cooked all the grease out of it and it failed. Meh. $100 car, I just took a torch to the remains of the shaft and removed the other one and drove it. Later sold it for $100, but I took the battery. Free battery, yay!
I had never lost so many friends at one time before, or since. That's one bummer about small town living, everyone knows everyone, and it affected us all mightily. In my case, I was dating his daughter so that was particularly close.
I can't imagine.
Tragic accident. Nothing like a murderous despot in a bordering country trying to level your home.
I followed that for about 2 days then got tired of it filling up the whole timeline. Still hilarious, but I just wait until someone I follow to tweet one.

Does death and dismemberment cover that loss?
Uhhhh, better check your policy.
Anybody ever use a starter heatshield?
Heat-soak time of year is approaching. I'm looking at new batt, starter, solenoid and cables.
No, and I never understood why they always put them so close to the exhaust manifold.

Some guys have all the luck.
It was an 82 GL, and I bought it in 1990 from the estate of a friend who died in a tragic ice rescue gone bad.
RIP, Vidar.
