Nice Bonanza on top of all that other stuff :cheers:

My dad owned a Bonanza (7938D).  Many good memories in that AC

I just look after this one but have exclusive use of it 90% of the year. It's for sale and while we're going to be very sad to see it go (especially after this most recent annual where the airplane is in just freaking great shape) it's being replaced with a Baron.  The previous owner put literally hundreds of thousands of dollars into it and we got it for a song in comparison.

For you I make special price :)

Somebody goes into "work" every day with a big grin, apparently. I'm actually liking that yellow C3 shown a lot. They (C3s) strike me as the perfect platform for just about anything an insane man might want.  In nautical parlance, you're making it sing. My wife is actually encouraging me to get the ppl. It's probably about time...

Edmunds has a decent answer and its public data: http://www.edmunds.com/auto-warranty/what-voids-your-vehicles-warranty.html

As I understand it and speaking as a customer, the only void caused by an after market part is if the failure was caused by said aftermarket part. Atop that, apparently the burden is on the dealer to establish the void. I also know, as a customer and a good one, Ford will extend coverage often to keep good customers happy. Thus, in no small way, your relationship with the dealer makes a difference as well. All that said, if you want a specific system, part or parts to retain coverage, don't modify it/them. OTOH, using a non-approved soap to wash the car ain't going to void the powertrain warranty. I could, otoh, see the possibility of an electronic boost control possibly voiding a claim on, I don't know... melted pistons..?

Good warrant read here too: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/will-modifications-void-your-new-car-warranty-1640756082

I upgraded recently and am now in the trailer hauling business.



Instead of bringing bombs to the strats I'm now hauling high value cargo across the area

Pontiac G8 GT, with a couple of minor mods because 361hp isn't enough.

Pulled an Audi S5 a few days ago, in spite of his killer AWD and technically overall better drivetrain.  That was nice, although I think the Audi driver was really mad afterwards since zoomed past without looking or waving and took the next turn.
