Ye olde minivan is due for a new grille, it won't be long before I won't be able to open the hood because of the way the release lever is attached.
Oooh, they're only $75 on eBay, I think the ripoff pick-a-part in Glendale wants more than that for 'em, unfortunately the eBay ones don't come with the highly coveted Pontiac emblem.

It could get to 60mph eventually. A friend was driving it while I worked on his car and he got drunk and crashed it.

My kids playroom has been converted to my bike workshop for this week.
Can’t wait to see when this bad boy is done.

I had a 1956 VW that someone traded to me for work on another car. It had a 1.2L engine which was rated @36 horsepower but as tired as mine was it had to be below that.
It could get to 60mph eventually. A friend was driving it while I worked on his car and he got drunk and crashed it.

It was a 53 Ford flathead V8 with 2 cylinders that had very low compression. Plus, it was an automatic. Probably the slowest car I ever had. I traded it to a transmission shop owner for a rebuilt transmission which was a Christmas gift to a friend.

Just booked a trip to Palm Island in the Grenadines. Four months to get the beach bod in shape.

very sad. my second car was a Triumph Herald. The smaller brother of the Vitesse. It was fun but with a 1.2L engine far, far from fast.

It’s either the interstate or this road. We ride the interstate.
