    Archaic Arcane..DH says, yes, Franz used (uses) toilet paper rolls for filtration. Doesn't know if they still can be purchased. He had a 57 Pontiac that had a heater to warm feet of back seat riders. (Don't go there!) HA!

    Oh what a riot!

    Now I understand about my Land Rovers leaking oil...I should have kept them instead of trading in at 80K miles... and why nothing on the dashboard of the TR-6 worked properly. Windshield wipers with a mind of their own. Someone told me that if you upgrade to a Lotus, you need to keep a paper bag on the front seat because the knobs that don't work just fall off the dashboard. Had to replace the wiper motor in my Datsun 510, and ended up with a Jaguar motor from the junkyard. It had 12 speeds, none of which worked either.

    Great laugh!

    I could use one of those heaters in the Ford trucks! Man! for some reason, the heating in the driver's side is subpar (and has been in all the Ford trucks I've been in) and the Passenger side is really good. The result? The driver cooks the passenger out of the vehicle because they're cold.

    Well, now, isn't that just the sh.... oh nevermind.
    And I complained about the Fram filters having craptastic filtering capabilities.

    A used toilet paper oil filter? Used? Oh my...just thinking about that makes my brain want to explode!
    ArchaicArcane, you probably got the Fords that were supposed to be sent to the South and the ones for the Northland were sent South, but that's a whole other conversation.

    Ewwww! Used toilet paper filter? That stinks

    I suspect we got the left side of the southern vehicles! The right side works overly well, even in our climate.
