215,000

Another small milestone for TFrog today... 215,000 miles. And hardly broken
in.

Another rough inspection, too - new cat-back exhaust, 4 new tires, swapped
in a used AC compressor, replaced a leaking power steering hose. But at
least it now has defrosters going into the winter season and fresh rubber on
all four corners. We broke in the new tires by fishtailing up the street.

Meanwhile, CFrog is in for the dreaded heater core replacement. I had just
had new headlight assemblies installed to cure the glaucoma, but on a dark
and rainy night I could barely see the road, as the windshield was
constantly fogging over. I can take a hint.

Altogether, I dropped about $2,000 on both Mustangs this year, which is
still less than $100 per month for each. Not a bad deal, and a wonderful
return on investment.

Looks like I'll have to keep them both for a little while longer yet.

305,000 on the 88GT, Forth heater core, installed about 3 months ago. The
next time it goes I swear I'm just going to cut a hole in the firewall and
remove it that way.

Make sure you attach the new one with Velcro®.

I think I'm going to have a custom stainless steel heater core made
for when mine needs to be replaced.
