Yes, congratulations! I've got eight days to before I hit seven years. Hard to believe.

Thanks, and Congrats to you 8 days early!

Yeah, I read that there was a time you could pick one up for around $30. I am wondering if that time came and went? I am thinking it's just a matter of keeping an eye on the classifieds.

There are some Provari's on E-bay right now, but they are a lot more expensive then those.

Doing some spring cleaning, found a Provari box with what looks like a brand new silver mini in it.
I have all mine so I asked the women and she claims it's not hers
I have no clue where it came from It has to be hers #EvilRedHeads

 

[FringeChief68]

Does anyone know how many miles you get before you have to change your possum?

PS. not my car

Again!
That it's not your car.
But, on the other hand, better a possum than a ground hog.

That pic made me think of Cold gin and his troubles with squirrels...

Happy 7th birthday, early so I don't miss it.

That was only for a very short time. I've seen used ones go for $50 and $250, so it's a catch-as-catch-can situation these days. Like all things vape, I guess.

That pic made me think of Cold gin and his troubles with squirrels...

That's exactly what I thought too.

Yeah. As I told him, there had to have been something pheromonal about him and the squirrels. How else to explain that.

I learned some facts since he posted the story. Like you, it was pretty amazing all the troubles they gave him. What I learned was that due to the environmental impact of using petroleum based coatings for the wiring harnesses, manufacturers started using a different system.

It was not petro based, but rather rather from soybeans. Chrysler Corp was one of the first to make the change, and problems arose very quickly with Jeep vehicles, which they owned. Some of that came from campers and outdoors people who would often be parked somewhere in the woods, but I can see it happening to anyone with a large rodent population. Evidently the new harness coating is quite tasty for gnawing animals - squirrels. mice, etc. leading the pack. As far as I know, the problem still exists and now I see a lot of reports for Honda vehicles joining the group of those having to replace harnesses multiple times.

As an aside, I understand that Honda parts departments now have a part number for a spray coating to be used on your wiring, which is heavily laced with fiery pepper extract.

I love it, GG. Living up to your ECF handle.
