Nothing is simple

The other week just as the snow was starting to come down I picked up a 1988 Acura Legend to run this year and besides traveling home on ice and snow covered back roads with a fully laden trailer this car has been an adventure already.

Firstly none of the batteries I had fitted it - and this from a man that has like 10 cores lying around so I had to go buy a new battery.

OK now fit the battery and get it off trailer - simple huh?

Nope. The hood latch had broken and I couldn't get the hood up. Ended up having to angle grind the latch out.

Whee hee - battery in and it starts

Drive off trailer and it gets stuck in the snow. Have to go get snow blower to clear path and my truck to push it through the snow.

Finally it makes it in to the garage and I can go get a hot chocolate and get out of the foot of snow and below freezing temperatures.
