    Do shops still sabotage cars for profit?

    A few years back, my wife's grandmother had an older bowtie. It started to stumble badly went pulling off and at certain time. Started and idled good just problem when giving it gas. Took it to a dealership several times. They replaced all the expected items including plugs, wires, points (yes...

    Laid-off!

    I was laid off back in January. Just started a new job today with a higher pay rate. :toothy10: Thank goodness for unemployment, it at least paid the bills (or at least most of them) during this period. It will take a while to really get back on my feet but at least this is a big step in...

    What is up with the Dodge Dealers???

    I really like the Challengers but I consider them more of a crusier. It's bigger then the others which makes it nice for the open road. If you are looking at a Mustang, wait until the 2011s when they are introducing the 400+ hp engine. The current 315hp GT just does not cut it compared to...

    Turning a 74 into a 72

    WOW very impressive. Once completed, are you going to register it as a 72 or 74? Seems you could do either as you have both vehicles with the appropriate VIN numbers.

    Views from my house this morning.

    Did you lose your power? Since I have lived here in NC, we have had two big ice storms that resulted in me losing power for a week each time. It really sucks losing power for those long periods. I think I now have that covered. I bought a generator and we have not had a power failure since.

    forms for bringing parts across the border

    Actually, I think the question was taking parts from Canada to US. In this case he will have to deal with US Customs. I am not sure what is required. I would think you can find the information in the US Customs website. Here is a link to the US Customs site regarding importing vehicles or...

    found roadrunner!

    I think the 70 is my favorite roadrunner followed closely by the 68/69. I don't really like the 71 and later. They just look too big.

    Kinda lost it while driving today (dumb).

    I watch my mirrors closely when driving, especially on interstates and if I see someone coming up behind me, I will more over when there is a clear space. In most cases, I will be out of the way when the faster vehicle gets there. What gets me mad is someone who is approaching fast (in most...

    Hmmmm, if I were to run into someone who can pick-up a Hemi and carry it out, I think I would just call him sir. He would have to be a really big. :notworth::notworth::notworth:

    Drove past a scrap yard. Sad sight.

    Well, look on a bright side. Each time one is crushed, it makes those remaining worth a little more.

    Garage Broken into!!!

    About a year ago, my son had his car stolen from his place of work. What upset him the most was that most of his tools were in the trunk and figured they were "long gone". Next day a coworker said he saw his car abandoned in the middle of a street in downtown Charlotte, NC. Contacted police who...

    Quick, someone needs to grab it now. It's now only $8,000. I feel sure that once he get the speedometer working it will go back up to $10,000.

    I Got My Permit Today!!!!

    My daughter will be taking her drivers test tomorrow. She is driving my wife's ford escort for now until I get the Duster fixed up a little. Going to add Disk brakes and AC to make it a little better daily driver. Will most likely add an external CD player as I don't want to remove the...
