Hi All, I am quite sure I have asked this before, but one day a couple years ago, I left the top down on my '66 vert at a local park, and when I returned, some Crack addict had rifled through the glove box, and stole my owners manual, cover, and the Certi-Card I had placed in the cover for safe keeping rather then the card holder under the hood. Silly me. The worst was they also got the original window sticker that was placed in the manual cover (original price was $72XX and change) Does anyone have an extra '66 Imp owners manual, and a Certi-Card. I know the Certi-Card would not be specific for my car, but who gives a rip. It's not like I'm going to pull into my local Mercedes dealer, um, Chrysler dealer, sorry. Whip out my Certi-Card and hand it to the Service Manager. I have pulled into Chrysler dealers before wanting them to work on the car, and they have "declined" servicing my Imp. To old, and no one would know how. I argue "You built it, you better be able to service it!" Try it for laughs sometime. Anyway if anyone has a manual, at least, and, or a Certi-Card, and cover they could spare, or sell, that would be just swell, cool, keen, neato, groovy, far out, nifty, 'bitchin, and any, or all the other 20th century slang adjectives describing a (Shades of Martha Stewart) "Good thing". Oh yeah, if anyone knows the whereabouts of the SOB, crack head who stole my stuff, would you be so kind as to stuff the pin-head firmly through filler tube into the gas tank of a '71 - '74 Pinto and either rear end them with a large expendable GM or even another useless Ford product and blow their sorry thieving ass up. Since it would be Pinto, you may just be able to kick it with a steel toed work boot, and it will blow up. I would be forever grateful! Thanks! Just for the record, I am NOT getting older, I'm getting bitter. I fully expect that in the next few years I will be standing on my front porch dressed in a full length black outfit, cameo around my throat, hair pulled up into an over tight bun, shaking a broomstick at passing children, and yelling "You kids stay away from my Petunia's!" I then will most likely need to go inside and feed my 87 cats. Laugh if you will, but I damn sure will still have in my driveway, a '66 Midnight blue metallic, white pearlescent leather interior & top Imperial Crown Convertible Coupe. I will only drive it to the pet store to buy kitty kibble by the drum, and cat litter by the pallet. Then a quick swing over to a school zone, and punch it WOT up to about 90 mph to blow some carbon (and maybe a few whippersnappers) off the valves. Of course I will be so shrunken by this time, all anyone will see is my finely coiffed, bleached blond hairdo, and boney ass knuckles adorned with exquisitely fine rings of assorted precious gem stones (if it's not Spring, and I'm not wearing my Jackie Kennedy petite white gloves), clutching my still perfect translucent pearl colored (coordinated with the interior) Tilt-O-Scope steering wheel. Then home to my 17 foot garage, and pull the car in and wait a few more moments to finish listening to Julie London sing "Cry Me A River" emitting from my state of the art transistor, 4 watt AM radio, sighing deeply, and reminiscing about the bygone good old days when cars ran on gas, and were bigger than a clock radio. Then get out and with arthritic arms grab the rope hanging from the garage door handle that I now need to gently pull the garage door down over the trunk of my 20 foot long Imperial. Well, that all being said, I must be off now for a second cup of coffee, a cigarette, a boatload of psychotropic meds, a quick shower, then off to work, where I will take great joy in rejecting someone's $900.00 expense report for lack of a $2.00 parking receipt. Have a great day everyone!
