    I need some advice...

    I have a 91 lx vert auto 5.0 that I need to sell. Problem is, it's been in a garage for over a year without running, the garage is not at my place, and I don't have time to get it back up to running. I have a hard time seeing anyone wanting to buy a car that has not ran in that long, needs...

    I think I'm going to buy a Focus for a daily driver.

    Anyone have one? I just want something inexpensive with a warranty that gets good gas mileage. Which Ford dealership in the Portland area would you all recommend? I'm tired of worrying about every noise (and there are a lot of them in a 91 vert with no chassis stiffining). And 20 mpg on a...

    Where is the fuse in the "fusable link"?

    Ok, I'll admit, people call me Corky. But I'm confused. Where in the hell is the "fuse" in the "fusable link" from the alternator to the selanoid? Is it under heat shrink? HELP

    Some musings: Its amazing...

    It's amazing how cheap it can be to put together a decent sounding stereo... It's amazing HOW LONG it can take to thread all wires needed for a trunk mounted amp the right way. Especially when all the tools you have are a screwdriver and a pair leatherman at your disposal. It's amazing...

    Prosper.com, anyone with experience in online lending?

    Like the title says, anyone know anything about these things? The concept is that you make small loans through an online 'broker' type company. I think it looks like a great idea, and the interest rates earned are substantially higher than even the best online saving accounts...

    For those that liked my taillights, take 2, the revenge of the truck bumper.

    Sub title: Anyone recommend a body shop in Hillsboro? One of my co-workers couldn't figure out that hitting the brakes and the gas while trying to park doesn't usually work out too well: The only good thing about this is there was a small amount of paint damage on the bumper...

    For those that asked about my Head/Tail lights, some pics:

    Couldn't get a pic of the brake lights on, it's hard to hit the peddle and be behind the car :) It's really really dirty right now, but you get the point. The swirl marks in the lense with the lights on are really not visible, just the picture. Justin

    Late Model Resto 5 lug kit?

    Anybody have any experience with it? I need to replace my front rotors very much bad, and was looking at the Laurel Mountain Power Slot/EBC kit they sell for about $260. The 5 lug kit doesn't have power slot's, and is $400. I've always tried to upgrade when a part is replaced, and this would...

    Best insurance?

    Ok, I just moved up here from Eugene, and my insurance through Progressive "Drive" went up 50%. Granted, that's only like $25 a month, but I think that's a bit rediculous. I have a clean record, am over 25, drive a 16 year old car, and only have liability, so is $75/month about normal? Where...

    warped STOCK rotors, what would you do?

    Ok, I managed to warp my rotors very much bad with a combination of a long down hill brake followed by a very large puddle. I now need to replace them, but the pads are still ok, about 75%. I have stock ponys on my 91 lx, and don't plan on going to 5 lug for quite a while, so I need to replace...
