    Heard on the radio a while ago that Ford will produce the last of the Tauruses(Tauri?) during the first 3 months of '06. It will end a 21-year model run era. There's got to be a record in there somewhere.<br /><br />I've owned 2 and both were OK.

    air horn

    I have a horn that was originally powered by those 1 lb. cans of freon. Those are no longer available and even if they were, they leaked a lot when mounted on this horn. Does anyone know how much pressure those little cans held. If I knew that, I could match it with compressed air.
