Re: An Eventual Replacement for the Trailblazer

I think that when looking at a "do-it-all" vehicle, you have to compromise. I've never worried too much about having brutal torque to tow, because I don't tow every day. I do drive everyday, and want things like good mileage, comfortable seats, room to put stuff, and most importantly utili...

Re: 2005 9.2x Linear

The snowfall we had the other day drove me to replace my windshield smearers on the Saab. When did windshield wipers start costing $18.00 each? I took off the winter blades because the really great ones that I bought last year would not contact the window at 55 mph and up. These freezing conditions ...

Re: Impala SS

The throttle body on my Vette is a factory one from an Escalade that Hutter's had laying around the shop from somebody who did an upgrade. I'm sure that you can buy a stock upgrade for not too much money. There were also plenty of guys who would port and polish one for not too much money on the inte...

Re: Tiresmoke Central, construction begins!

Put your level on the thin side of a two by four in the length of your
choice and you will have made an extension for your level....

Re: Tiresmoke Central, construction begins!

I'm glad I could help out!!! Now when you go to drill the concrete, give me a call

4" concrete in less than 30 seconds..... Keep me posted on your needs!!!

Re: 2005 9.2x Linear

On Wednesday, I decided to do a little bit of "get ready for winter" stuff to the Saab. I rotated the tires, putting the fronts on the rear and vice versa. The fronts were a bit rounded on the corners and worn a bit more than the rears. The "squarer" ones are on the front now. I ...

Re: 1998 C5 Roadster

Yesterday, I decided it was time. The weather's starting to get cold and they were talking about possible snow this week. Time for the Vette to go into storage. This year I did nothing but drive the car. I logged up only about 2,100 miles. The weather was nice enough on Sunday to completely vac out ...

1997 Saturn SL2

So the car search ended a couple of weeks ago with this 1997 Saturn SL2. It's a 1997 with 78,000 miles on it. It's pretty clean for a Cleveland area car. The cool thing about it was the guy who sold it to me put new exhaust, brakes and some nearly new tires on it. The only issues it had were 1) leak...

Re: Worst Financial Advise Ever

We've already lived through some of this already. Model A's are an example that comes to my mind. They were crazy dollars and now are worth WAY less because the people who are interested in them are now passed on. The trick is to buy a car BEFORE it gets "collectible" then sell it when peo...

Re: Tiresmoke Central, construction begins!

Some crown moldings and a chandelier would be quite quaint....and a fine Persian
rug would soak up any leaky oil in an upscale fashion.
