    new issue w/ the 68. help needed.

    I have also seen this issue with ignition switches. It was a bad contact inside, I think.

    A friend of mine had issues with his harmonic balancer. It was also RPM related. Just another thing to check.

    I'll Take "Pinpoint My Knock" for $250, Alex

    Have you tried putting your ear to a long screwdriver on the accessories while the knock is present? Might help pinpoint it. (don't try this on the balancer though :) )

    What Radar Dectector are you guys using?

    I used to have one of those remote ones in my '93 Wrangler before it (the Wrangler) was stolen. Worked great, and nothing on the dash to see. I would just open the ashtray and shut it off if I got pulled over. I asked my insurance agent if I could claim the detector as a loss, he just laughed at me.

    A Myth To be solved!! Acetone Is it good for gas?

    I would think that the cost of using that much acetone would defeat the money saved by getting better gas mileage, not to mention possible damage to hoses, etc.

    Let my friend borrow my car........

    I had this happen once in another car. Unburned fuel built up in the exhaust, and ignited with a loud bang. Made my oval muffler more round. I can see it pushing a joint apart, either in a muffler or at the clamps.

    Do you powershift or granny shift?

    I would say it's because you're not letting the synchros do their thing. Like trying to put a square peg in a round hole, the shift forks don't like that.

    divorce sucks

    Next time, save yourself some trouble. Find some chick on the street that you don't like, and just buy her a house. Seriously though, I've been through it twice. Kept my pension both times, but had to give up a little of the equity in the house to do so. But still got some money out of it, and...

    Gas Mileage

    I drove from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Manchester, NH last year. The best I got was 29.6 mpg, driving 67 mph with cruise control on through Ohio. Never went below 26 mpg as long as I kept my speed down. But in the city I get about 13 mpg.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Golf made in Mexico these days? European car? Oh, and I'll have a few Mustangs for the price of their BMW, thank you.

    Anyone wanting to see pics I took at this show, check out the club website (link in my sig). Under "events pictures". Also, anyone in the Ft. Wayne area, I hear the police have been using unmarked cars to egg on people to race, then arresting them after they take the bait. Can you say...
