Well since the latest direction this thread has gone is weather related, it's breezy, 75° and partly cloudy here this morning, and not terribly humid, really pretty nice.

Strong thunderstorms later though...…..

Well, we just got our strong thunderstorm. Probably an inch of rain in a half hour or so, lots of lightning and was blowing 40-50 mph at one point, a few branches down and parking lot is flooded. Typical Florida afternoon in the summertime....

Sweet parking for all... Maybe you can take so some time and work on the dragster, they don't fix themselves ..... If it does you better watch out could also find a pilot if that's the case....

mr bender,
the kid almost got killed in her 2012 ford fusion last night,steering locked up going down the road.says power steering assist failure.
that usually some type of module? ford says no recall

That car has electric power steering assist. Most likely it lost power assist. Most common cause is the rack and pinion assembly.

Scan it for trouble codes.

Just creeping along...…….

Kinda like my pet racing snail. Figured I'd take his shell off to see if it would make him faster, all it did was make him more sluggish.
