The continuing story of my sons cars, thanks to Daves89. The red car, which started this thread has continued to perform flawlessly since the TPS replacement, no error messages. It looks like this car will be repurposed to summer only duty with #2 son. It has almost brand new true directional snow tires which were purchased for the grandson when it was his daily driver. That changed too soon, which is a whole different story, but the black car will now become the recipient for the four snow tires when it resumes its winter duty, same as what it did for Dave. After the encounter with the deer last fall, the parts have been replaced with mismatched colors from my donor, but it just makes sense for it to resume winter duty, where it served Dave well. The rear suspension will not be repaired or replaced. It sort of boils down to: black car resumes winter duty with newish snow tires and the red car becomes summer only with new summer tires paid for by the trade of the winter tires. I'm glad I am not in the middle of that deal. The good thing is, we have plenty of spare wheels, so switching and swapping only takes a few minutes.🙂

That is an interesting story. Glad your son's saw value in two cars I was done with, and are making use of them. I think in about two more winters I will be done with the '88 and just have the Red for full time year round driving. Maybe you or your sons will be ready for another one...

if i ever get back down that way we will have to cruise Crossville
