We had a bit of misfortune here in Louisville this past week I will try to make it as brief as possible. A dear part of Buckleboys and Kindafoundabuckles detecting family went to the big hunt in the sky a few days ago. Its sad to say and is said with a very heavy heart that the treasuremobile died. 
BB called me telling me that the car just quit pulling and was parked on the side of I-264. I went and picked BB up and when we arrived on the scene I checked it out. I did all I could for it. I even gave it a few units of transmission fluid to ease its suffering. I pronounced it dead at 9:48 Friday night. Cause of death was massive failure of the automatic transmissions torque converter. RIP my old dear friend.
The 1991 Mercury Tracer was born in Dearborn Michigan and lived most of its life here in Louisville. There were two owners before KFB saved it from a junkyard a few years ago where he and his wife drove it on a daily basis. It was then transferred over to BB and he got several months of use out of it before past away.
BB don't be sad just remember the good times. Like taking it where most 4x4 trucks would be afraid to go. All the detecting trips it took us on and got us back safely. (barely) The awesome stereo that never worked. All the comments you got on the wrecked front end. The strut I replaced that almost took your life. Me ripping part of the door trim off and throwing it in my driveway. I said hey Will theres part of your car! And my favorite of all is the only reason that car ran was because of a repair I made when I first saved it from the crusher with duct tape. I could go on and on.
Please all members of Tnet post your sympathies for BB here or send him a PM. It is his time of need so lets all be there for him.
