This is a fun topic. I like seeing the vehicles people have owned.
I am constantly surprised how well my Farmall M starts. It was close to zero this morning and it rolled over three times and took off. I didn't plug it in or use the choke. It's a perfect loader tractor cause I never worry about it.
The best starting car around here is my 69 beetle. I built the engine about 10 years ago and it has never failed me since. It only has to crank until there's fuel in the carb and it takes off. It is a little fussy until it warms up but then the stumble goes away.
The worst (but I think I have the kinks out) is my 1977 convertible Beetle. It is a low mileage fuel injected car. There was just to much electrical stuff on there. If I start it every few days then it is OK, but if it sits a month I am in trouble. Last time it was some plastic electrical connector in the spare tire well that was loose and cut the power to the fuel pump. Funny, I drive it in that shed and shut it off. I swear it just likes to try my patience.
In high school I had a Beetle. I used to pray that it wouldn't start so that I could borrow my folks car with decent defrost. It never failed. I always had it full of everyone else whose car wouldn't start. I finally started keeping four ice scrapers in it so that all of the passengers could keep the window nearest to them clean on the inside. I can remember it snowing so much while I was in school that it piled up on the trunk lid and you couldn't see out the windshield. The sucker still started and got us all home without fail. If you slid into the ditch you just put it in reverse and it would climb out. The only vehicle better in snow was the VW bus I drove in college. It was a billy goat.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
