Would 78% Nitrogen be better than ordinary compressed air? 

When nitrogen filled tires were being promoted at a significant up-charge, I would ask the vendor if they pulled a vacuum on the tubeless tires before they filled them with nitrogen. 

2005 or 2006 Ford GT, preferably in red or blue.

Prices seem to be dropping from their peak.

I always liked the original GT40's from the '60's.

I have to chuckle thinking about how I could get in & out of one, now. 

Don't know if current offerings are comparable, but I was impressed with the IRS on my Dad's 1983 Mercedes 300D.  ...1979 to 1985 were basically the same.
 
Rear track width is listed as 56.9" and has a "drop-out" center section.  ....The IRS unit is mounted in a cradle which mounted with 4(?) bolts.  ...Rear disc brakes.

I don't know if gas-engine models used the same rears.

The average cost of regular in NJ is currently at $3.61.

Most stations in my area of NJ are $3.41 to $3.52.

Pics please, Frank.

Last week, I was sitting alone on a bench at the trap range I belong to.  ...It was 40* and windy, but I didn't move for 25-30 minutes.

A couple guys came over to see if I was alright.  ...I explained that when I find a position that doesn't hurt, I try not to move.

Two bad knees, 1 bad hip, bad back, & 1 bad shoulder.  ...The "Golden Years"  

"Regular was at $3.81-9 , with 6 cents off from the food shopping, we paid $3.21-9"

Who paid the rest of the $3.75-9 ??

If the set-up is the same as 416's pic, doesn't a dual master cylinder prevent complete failure of a brake system if either the front or rear circuit is compromised?

Happy Anniversary, Tony (and Janice) !

Is this the company?  ....Several manuals posted.

You must have a magnetic personality, Tony !!

Joe, can you temporarily test the speedometer in your daily driver?  ...It could be powered from the lighter outlet while you hold the unit in your hand. 

You could try both antennas while your wife drives the car.

Is there any help at this link, Joe?  ....At least there is some English printed.

How do you know that the problem is with the antenna?  ....Is it in a location to get a good signal?

Tony:  I also have had many back problems over the years, and things are getting worse as I age (75 soon).

Had surgery in 1989 for a herniated Lumbar disc. 

Had portions of four Lumbar vertebrae removed in August 2021 to relieve pressure on the spinal cord caused by stenosis and that helped a lot.

After new back pains in 2022, X-rays showed compression/deformation of several discs has gotten worse.

It ain't fun, but things can always be worse!  ...I hope you get some relief soon!

Joe:   Check with your local road department for aluminum signs they have replaced.  ....May find something usable for free.
