    I think Mr. P’s had the newer one...

    I thought it looked like a 1988-newer Fox Body wheel; I believe 1987 did not have an airbag? They even used the wheels in the 1994-1996 Broncos and F150s.

    Right the air bag wheels for the Mustang came around 1990 if memory serves me. Definitely remember seeing that wheel in Full Sized Bronco's too.

    Mr. P’s Lincoln also had nipple-hardeningly cold A/C! 1993 was the last year Ford used R-12. The car was a year old when he bought it, and the A/C never had to be serviced in the ten years he owned it!

    Yeah my original system had R-12 in it too. SN95 Mustangs came out in 1994 so I guess those probably had 134.

    Yeah they did...

    The all-new Camaros had R134a in 1993 too.

    I have a few friends in Federal Law enforcement. No striking, and when the government shuts down they work without pay.

    My buddy @The Hunter knows about that all too well! I can understand the need for federal law enforcement, but working without pay is something I couldn’t do...

    Yeah, but what if the back pay doesn’t come in time for the car payment or the mortgage?

    Most banks will work with you or offer a very low interest personal loan for these special circumstances.

    They usually do to. If your a good client most financial institutions will work with you. When the government goes on lock down only essential employees have to work with no pay and that’s like 20% of the government

    Also most firefighters and EMS unions have non striking contracts with their respective municipalities.

    Saving for a rainy day my man. Not having an emergency fund that can float you at least three months is a bad idea. 6 months is ideal, but not reasonable for some.

    Ben Stein helped me learn that at about 20. We always keep a years income in the bank for emergency’s.
