Continuing the improvements.. a couple weekends back, I got a TV mounted in the garage. Gwen has this 32" unit that we weren't using at all, so she offered it to me for the garage. I found a nice $20 wall mount at Micro Center and a $5 universal remote. It swivels pretty far to the left and ri...

One of the best things about my '69 plates is that the registration was good for 40 years. (If I'm wrong on the actual term, it's still one hell of a long time w/o having to pay for tags, annual registration, etc.) I bought the Chevelle in '09, so I've had it for five summers/seasons. I've put rough...

Last weekend, at the Mecum Auction from Anaheim, a 2002 Z06 that certainly appeared nice on TV sold for.....$22,000. While Dave and I were helping a client of mine look for a Corvette last Winter, we stumbled across a car lot off of Vine Street in Eastlake to look at a C4 of some kind that we passed...

Both came off the same assembly line.....in Flint or Flat Rock, MI if I remember correctly.

Very fun car, though.

Good advice. Is there a mileage limit or anything on your hagerty policy ? I can't recall off the top of my head.....but I haven't put more than 2K miles on that car in a year.....although I've certainly spent more than $2K a year on it. :) The only thing that jumped out at me as odd was a clause t...

I have this debate in my head almost everyday. I have convinced my self I need some sort of truck. The impala just doesn't do what I need it to outside of work. So I am currently trying the cheap paid for various car route. We'll see how it goes. 2012 Impala meets my work requirements - 4 door, 5 y...

So what's a guy, that doesn't really need a full-sized pickup, to do? :( Restore an old truck?? :mrgreen: That option is definitely on the table! If I can tow my boat with a, say 67-72 Chevy short bed, I really wouldn't need another tow vehicle. And a Posi would really help on these steep and wet b...

I assumed it was the same motor that's in the Camaro. But since the towing figures weren't/aren't yet available, I didn't take the analysis or logic as far as you did....and you are probably 100% correct. The motor is probably a poor choice and may require further thought. Why not use the 4.2 inline...

http://autos.yahoo.com/news/coming-soon-sized-2015-chevrolet-colorado-pickup-truck-213000554.html I think GM will be hitting the nail on the head with this idea......that there is a strong market for mid-sized trucks out there. Not everyone needs to tow 11,000 lbs or wants to drive something as larg...

Everybody else drove theirs into the ground too, apparently. Very few on craigslist, considering there were a million of them on the road. Or maybe they just lived up to their nameplate -- Found On Road Dead :lol: -Dave I really enjoyed that car. I'd like to see Ford re-introduce it with their EcoB...

Yeah, it was the first time I had two of my cars at the track at the same time. I'm really happy with the 14.11 @ 99.6 with the Mustang. I'm getting closer with the Caddy tuning. I think I have the primaries where they need to be as I had two 1.90 60' times, but I think now that the secondaries are...

Any 93-97 Ford Probe GTs make the circuit?

Small 2.5 V6 but car was already light from the factory. Was a very fun car on the street.....all 156K miles of it.

Are we old enough now that these jobs no longer build character/are a good learning experience?

Seriously, though, that's a bummer from a time perspective.

Bet you Chester Township zoning didn't give him a hard time!
