Never saw a Pinto like that. I had one that could smoke its 60 series tires in the first two gears. Was fun having a 4 cylinder econocar that could run outrun most V8s below muscle car level. Was the Spearco edition, not many of those.

Well gents, I'm happy to say I got the driving lights figured out and working. Seems the wires have to be installed in a certain direction. My eyesight isn't too good, and looking at the connectors and figuring out direction of the terminals is a pain. Went to the Harley dealer and spoke with a mechanic who drew a couple of pics and explained some stuff. I came home, got the magnifying glass out and moved wires around. Put things together and turned on the power..... the turn signals worked but the running lights did not. Started getting pissed until I remembered I had to install an on/off switch. Turned the switch on and they work!!! Happy with this now. Got extra lights in front and in the rear. Got couple more things to put on, and some parts on order. Be glad when I have her set up my way again!!
Moldy... my grass needs mowing badly. But today and tomorrow are too hot and humid for this old fart to get out and push a mower around!!

Update. Vet gave Bella a steroid injection and told us when she has more bad than good days it's time to make the decision.
Appears the time is close. Thanks to all for your concern and encouragement.

With or without Starbucks backdrop?
Didn't know I had choices. Considering the subject, I guess with the Starbucks backdrop. Make it hurt as much as possible.
