I have one on my 94 Buick Regal work car.I bought the car used and it was already installed.I wish I had it on my newer cars but I dought I will ever have it installed. I use it and like it during the Hot summer so I can start the car and get it cooled down after a Hot sweaty day at work.However I seldome use it during the winter.Because I prefere to turn off all accesories to help assure a cold start up and I like to be in the car when it starts just incase something goes wrong.Mainly because older cars can do strange things in cold weather.If it was a newer car I probably would use it however. I personally would not want to try to install one.But that is because im not real electrical inclinded.Wires and harnesses scare me. But if it was to get very cold and wanted to keep the car engine a little warm to make sure it would start in the morning.In the past I have litterally went out in the cold blast to start a car every hour or two all night.Just so I would know it would start in the morning.I could just start the car from the house every hour rather then going out to do it.They will run for so long then shut down with these devices.Would save me a trip out and then freezing to go back out to shut it off.Maybe you have never had to do this.But being from Michigan perhaps you have?

Good FRIDAY Morning!! Wonderful to hear from Joanne and Maddie! Suzanne, looks like you got some very nice gifts from Raeanne. Looking forward to seeing those slippers in April 2005! Was thinking about you this morning...I just had to turn Howard off and listen to some old fogies on a local NYC station. Howard just goes on and on and on about his new gig and how much "injustice" he's suffering. I tried to call up and say "shut up and make me laugh"!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...but the phones were busy. LOL By the time I got to within a mile of the office, he was on to funny stuff, but geez, do I need another year of his whining for the first hour? MAKE ME LAUGH!!! LMAO (Hey, I made myself laugh!) OK, another evening and no decorations. I got home after my yogilates class, and DSD was at my house. DH had finished putting new locks on two of our outside doors. Why? I've no idea. On our list of things to-do, it was probably #35, but he was so proud of himself. This evening, we are going shopping and picking up a tree on the way home. I went over this carefully with him before he left the house this morning! LOL Gotta run; I'm working on finishing up my 2004 report on how I accomplished my development and objectives...what corporate BS !! Got to get the wording 'just right' so you get a bigger bonus than the next guy. Ah, what I endure for great vacations! LOL Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP! DeeMarie

Whadda ya mean, " ... recyclng ..." my underwear, you guys? Recycling means processing it into something else that's useful. These are just using the originals ... and using ... and using ... for quite a long spell: "re-using", you might say. Till the elastic gets old and so tired that it's really relaxed. The trouble was ... most of the couple of dozen or so are still intact, (well, not too many have holes), not too badly stained (and many not stained at all) and would be able to do the job ... ... if only they were up to it! One would think that, as I'm inclined to sit quite a bit, and there are two pressure points associated with one's bum ... ... that the briefs would develop two holes, from wear. But, strange to say, and I can't figure the reason ... some tend to develop a hole in the middle of the ... back-side. Almost as though, when suffering from diarrhea, one became, "jet-propelled", shall we say ... and the cloth wasn't strong enough to withstand the pressure! In summer, after I've been working in the garden, only occasionally working hard enough to get really sweaty ... ... I lay the just-used ones on the bed for a while to dry out, then drop the upper and lower of each on the other single bed, next to mine, with several of them, side by side, and I use each in turn again, after a few days' rest. There are a few with good elastics off to one side that I can wear when I'm going out into the civilized world. I find that, now, as I wash the squeezy socks in the basin nightly, often I wash a pair of underwear, sometimes a shirt, occasionally pyjamas ... ... so that I seldom need to run the washer. After ordering a couple of weeks ago, I got a third pair of squeezy knee-socks last week, as, with the rather chilly house, the ones washed in the evening hadn't got really dry by the second morning, but after I turned the heat up a bit, the two pair were drying in time. I find that the new pair are somewhat tighter, so I guess that the ones that I've been using for a few months are getting more relaxed about doing their job. What kind of a job evaluation do you think that they'll merit, next go-round? Hope you all have an interesting, eventful and happy holiday. I haven't asked for much: when you're past 80, and looking forward to downsizing - who needs more "stuff"? ole joyful

Thanks for the reply jemdandy but the manual you link to isn't for the model of starter I have and as far as I'm aware, all starters have the brake as the kill feature. However, this shouldn't be the case once the key has been inserted into the ignition and turned to the "on" position. Obviously you need to press the brake to shift out of park. I'm trying to get the installer to have a look at it but I was hoping someone might be familiar with the starter model I have and be able to offer some suggestions. Thanks.
