the first.car land line phone was pioneered by ford in the early fifties and as the demand for the technology grew.more and more cars had land line phones



eventually the new technology found.its way to all ford products including continentals? and finally lincoln later on but one problem still exist and
cars were only able to travel a very.short distance to only as many land line extension cords a driver could put together and would lose signal soon as he drove beyond the length of his cords that were attached to the back of the car a common problem with land line phones back then .and soon the problem was solved and the telephone companies made improvements to the land line technology.by providing drivers better signal connection with miles and miles of land line telephone wires for. drivers who opted to extend their contracts for another two years



drivers no longer had to splice bits of wires together.just to be able to drive to the next intersection

thanks to the invention of the car land line technology it found its way to the homes several years later and many who did not have a car were now able make calls from home.then qualcom a company from san diego california invented a chip to allow home owners to have tetherless home phones and this technolgy eventually found its way to the newer lincolns at the time and it was the lincoln mark 8 that was first to have land line-less telephone it was cutting edge technology as far the.nineties goes

Hey, thats the way it was....Jack!

Fixed it for you!

 

[SATURN5]

what stock mark wheels are the lightest

The spares. Running four will save you about 15lbs per!

 

[chris2523]

Snowflakes are probably lightest. But I have never weighed an Octistar. Although the snowflake is probably still lighter.

what spare? i got rid of mine because it had 3 broke belts the car came with it on the right rear it was also way off balence and the actual tire that belongs there was in the trunk shreaded from running.on a flat the car handled like a bus shook like a earthquake on the freeway taking it home (only.did 40)

 

[Lownslowlsc]

Octi's are the lightest, however, they're worth more than the entire car so I'd do what Saturn suggested.
