Local Weather tells us that we tied a record in June for hottest single day on record since the 1930 "Dust Bowl" period. We also set a record for number of consecutive days of 100F or more F heat index for June. July is going to start with a three day string of 100+ heat index days. We may get some relief on Saturday but even that day is a Level 1 risk. I can't imagine what it is like for those east of us that are 10 degrees hotter. Whew! Saw some guys in a grocery store parking lot yesterday hand patching pot holes in mid afternoon covered head to toe in dark heavy clothing and hats. Nothing but eyeballs to be seen. Working like madmen. Not a water bottle in sight. That's nuts. -
I'm taking a day or two off. Still waiting on a fuel pressure regulator, and I'm hurting. This is a hobby not a day job and I'm just not used to bending over an engine bay like this. Surprisingly, hands are OK. I wear gloves. I'll do some tinkering later today and get the engine side of the intake mating surface cleaned up. Intake itself is ready to go. Hoping to seat it / gaskets and RTV today so it can cure in time for the weekend. -
It's a current trend, away from Chrome. Chrome costs more money than a lot of other finishes and it has much, much higher environmental impact than other finish types. That, and, when most chrome is actually plastic these days, a lot of people just don't prefer the look or idea that plastic should be chromed. The one thing I kind of prefer is a chrome front bumper on trucks. But even that look is considered dated. It's highly functional, as we all know. Super resistant to rock chips and road rash, and resists etching from bug guts.

You're right, I can't argue with someone who thinks an '86 Grandma Keith is the pinnacle of reliability and engineering. You may want to seek a mental health referral, however. The difference between you and I, I think, is I don't have to depend on old vehicles. That really changes one's perception. Newer vehicles also take more knowledge and skill to work on, absolutely. Some people keep up with that, other's can't. YMMV.
