Default In the beginning...

...the forum was full topics about new mods, car upgrades, and all that sort of option talk.

Today... it seems all we talk about are repairs, patches, fixes and the like.

Just an interesting observation that the reality of our cars getting old is setting in.

Thanks to everyone who offers their help and advice in keeping them running!

Default Dudes, we're like a budding Havana! No new cars since Castro -- wire and duct tape for everyone!

Default You have no idea how my car is being held together.. :)

As you all know I do things a bit differently. for example when i changed my stock antenna.. We couldnt figure out how to take it out so it took the air hack saw and BAM! No problem..

Need a VGA monitor in your dash.. AIR HACKSAW.. no problem

Need to replace your 350 dollar belt fan.. AIR HACK SAW no problem (now i have an electric one in there)

Need to recharge your A/C using the Low side port.. AIR HACKSAW? NO... just a $3.99 adapter..
