The V8 has quite the reputation for being a chick magnetic. That should work well on campus. Bob

A huge thank you to all who provided help, especially those nice enough to
offer selling me an axle. HUGE thanks. I ended up putting the joint from
the 3.6 axle on my 4.2 axle anyway. All is well. I washed her this morning
and took her to campus with me, and as luck would have it...we're getting
our first snow. Luckily she's parked safely in the ramp. I told myself as I
was sitting in the car wash, "my luck, it'll snow." Yeah. Don't make that
mistake.

Now with the snow, it seems as her recirc flap is wonky. The car fogs up,
and, pressing the recirc button does nothing...not even a noise. I already
looked up the diagrams in Bentley and I'll take out the glove compartment
and look when I get home and in the garage.
