Don't really know what that means, it's a "visko fan" the hotter it gets the more it connects to the engine and the more it turns, its some kind of fluid and a bimetal thingi inside.
Yes. Clutched just means the coupling to the engine is controllable. Just means it shouldn't be as bad as a constantly connected one. Like this:
I think they went electric in the later years though and conversions were common.

This guy did a test, he drove 400 km, same route, with and without a fan.
He saved 10% fuel and 0-90 was 1 sec faster, springweather, 10-12 degrees, no problem with overheating.

Yes. The fan is most useful at low speeds and when not moving. As I found out once upon a time.
It looks like his fan is clutched though?

I guess the next exciting price is previous ATH. Might be a bit of a slog.
Yeah, I'm still in kind of "been there done that" mode.

My first (several) cars had vacuum windshield wipers. They slowed down when you went up a hill.
Wow, that's old
I remember buses having that when I was a kid, every time the bus stopped the wipers stopped or slowed down as well.

1% seems very low, especially for having been in for 4 years. I would say that even 5% would only really be for someone who doesn't really grok Bitcoin and is just getting going. (If you're just getting started and don't have much extra to invest, I could see lower numbers but then you probably don't have much in the way of other investments either).
Still, I always advocate that people should be comfortable with the investments they're making so I'm not going to call you wrong.

But as his own post says, it really depends. I think people sometimes forget that investors do see Bitcoin as a new asset, and therefore a new aspect for investment. For serious investors, to actually add a new type to their portfolio is a big deal. I would see most big serious investors having majority in something proven like gold or even I guess government bonds. And then bluechip stocks for quick gains.
Remember, BTC can do x10 in a relative short period. Which means the 1% can grow to 10%. But also can do x0.15 very quickly!

I jinxed the bull market when I predicted 70k by may.
back in april..
back in april..
It was you responsible for this whole BTC dippening matter.
Damned Philip..
Can you just stop jinxing the BTC price performance from now on?
We would prefer that things (including BTC price UPpening) can go better for us HODLers?
Surely in a voluntary transaction, there is not going to be abilities for the individual parties to figure out how much surplus value each person got, and in many cases it might not be necessary to know those surplus values except to appreciate that they exist, otherwise the parties would not have voluntarily engaged in the transaction.
Precisely so. Though often some degree of estimation of the net value gain might be estimable. If I sell you the wooden frogs I make for $8 and you're selling them in your wooden frog shop for $12, I might get a bit of a clue.
Don't be trying to sell Biodom.

You kids, get out of my yard...

Hah, I think I ran into that on my buddys T-Bird and changing out those lines when they get old is not a fun job!
also all the vents were pneumatic controlled, the car was riddled with old plastic splitting airlines.

That Ford Capri of mine didn't have a rear window heater either, I also added a aftermarket one. I remember it was a sticker type thing, peel of the protective plastic and attach it to the window and plug in the the two wires to a power source via a switch. Simple and worked pretty well, but ugly as f.
They don't make them anymore, I was looking for one a couple of years ago as replacement for the broken one on the car I had back then.

Same here. It had two metal strips you had to tuck the metal sticker into. Well worth doing as the metal in my wheel wells had rusted through and water would get inside the car and everything would fog up. You might have been able to fix it with silver paint which I've seen advertised for exactly that purpose. Looks like this company still makes em. https://frostfighter.com/
I have been pondering if I should change the thermostat or not, but I might just as well go all the way and change that and the pump while I'm at it.
Electric fans is nothing new to me however, my SAAB 900 from -88 had one.

You can test them but it's one of those things that if you have it out to test, you may as well replace it anyway. I've been putting it off on my car as the housing is a bit of a PITA to remove.

Jesus How old are you! 
When were car Thermostats stock?

I believe thermostats are still pretty standard?

I put a rear defrost in my 79 Monte Carlo and a third brake light while I was at it. I went through at least 3 engine 2 transmissions and a rear end in that beast. Had some great times in that car.
