    No New Engine for Me

    Let me just say that I'm so sorry guys... Speaking as a wife myself I find it utterly shocking when other wives dictate what a guy can and cannot do to his car. I mean, if working on the car brings him joy, let him work on the car. Would you rather have him be grumpy? I have never dictated what...

    I'm noticing the boards are a lot more busy than this time last year.....

    Are busy boards really a bad thing, though? I mean, I've only been here a week and I've already learned lots of valuable things... Like how to pick up chicks. Wait, that's not useful to me. Well, anyway, I like it here! :)

    What to do?

    For me, it depends on where the rust is. Shock towers or under the battery=very bad, fix asap. Body rust=not as bad, but ugly no matter what you do. If it's under the carpet, you might want to fix that asap, too. A friend of mine discovered rust under his carpet when he literally put his foot...

    What to Look for in a Daily Driver

    My '68 Fastback has been my daily driver since 1993. She was mostly stock/original when I got her and I've done just about all the work on her myself...slowly over all those years. And while keeping her running. Because if she wasn't running, I was walking. Now, the only original moving part on...

    interior and exterior lights pulsing.

    Yep. When my lights were doing that in my '68, I installed a new voltage regulator and the problem went away.
