Turns out that it was a snapper!

 

@Stitchgirl90 had some fresh tortilla chips from work, and I unsuccessfully attempted to feed it...

 

Then a woman who lived on that street, who had previously seen the turtle and wanted to get it out of the road, came out with a snow shovel. She was only wearing flipflops, so I took the shovel and scooped the turtle onto the sidewalk, where he (or she...?) started heading towards the woods...

 

You couldn't give those radios away, unless someone didn't have one at all..maybe..or needed to swap one back in to sell the vehicle. My folks had a 87 Grandy Ammie..very solid car.

A woman only wearing flip flops with a snow shovel? Damn...

 

OBD1

 

So my mom's car would have a legit OBD port where a tech could have plugged in a scanner? Back then, were they brand specific or were there universal scanners?

 

My Mustang actually has scanner capability, there is an oddball plug under the hood that will accept a specific type.

 

If I were ever to get a Grand Am, it would be this style.

 

Ford-specific scanner?

 

So that's why OBD2 is better, because the scanner will work in anything from my Tacoma or a Hyundai up to a Rolls-Royce?

 

Yep, I believe OBD1 was nowhere near as universal as OBD2.

 

Yup. I forget the different ones but I want to say I recall at least 3 different types of scanners depending on the vehicle. My friend was a mechanic and had an expensive portable machine but I think it took a cartridge/card depending on the vehicle.

 

Amanda I went to the huge antique truck show in Macungie today, and I took this picture with my phone at 10:50am, but reception was almost nonexistent in that area. Also, with the exception of 2020 due to COVID, I have gone to this show every year since 2014 and I have NEVER seen it this crowded; I normally park at the local fire station, but it was full, and I ended up parking at a house down the street for the same amount of money. I also took a nape when I got home at like 4pm, and that's why I'm just posting it now...

 

I'm not driving all the way up to Oley, but there's one at the Silver Creek AA in Springtown too that I'm taking Amanda to!

 

Somewhere yes. Needs a special connecotr

 

Not under the dash on the driver's side like an OBD2 port?

 

some were. some were all done under the hood with a diagnostic port. my mr2 had a diagnostic port in the engine bay.

there was no real standard... and even model to model it differed
