    I need some advice...

    After thinking about it, I guess I'll sit on it over the winter. It should be easy to get running. Gotta syphon the dregs of the tank, refill, charge the battery, and it will be close... When I said it wasn't running, it's just due to sitting untouched for so long. I didn't prepare it to...

    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...

    SUV's

    No interest in imports? Personally, I'd recommend a 4Runner if you are ok with buying something with 2x the mileage as the jeeps you are looking at. There are tons out there, so if you have the patience to sort through them for 1 that has full maintenance records, responsible owner, etc, you...

    Where can I get chrome fuel tank straps?

    Edit: spoke before I saw the real price... I was thinking that I can make these at work out of polished stainless easy with my laser, but I don't think I could realistically to come in under their price without bulk orders...

    Thanks to all. Headed to Forest Park last weekend...gas light came on, ended up strolling around 23rd (I think, lots of yuppy/hippy shops, cool area...) Then ended up at the Murdoc mansion, not sure if that's what it was called, but cool hiking, incredible view...gotta go back for the picture...

    Portland help needed, not car related...

    Thanks. I've thought about Multnomah, but was looking for something less "touristy", if you know what I mean. If it helps, I grew up in Eastern Oregon, and she's from South West Oregon, so we know our what around Oregon. Just looking for local haunts, ideas, etc...

    Portland help needed, not car related...

    My girlfriend and I have been living in Portland (Hillsboro) for about 4 months now. But we have been both working hard hours at new jobs, so we havn't seen the town much. I need recommendations on where/what to see/visit. I'm supposed to find a good walk/hike for us for Sunday afternoon...

    Toyota Dealer?

    I don't want to be in ANY car in a frontal crash situation. But there are compromises that have to be made. I'm looking for great gas mileage, great build quality, and inexpensive. The Corolla prices out about 5k above what I want to spend... If I had the money, I'd be in a Civic Hybrid of...

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

    I just can't swallow buying a Kia or Hundai...I'll sacrifice a little to stick with a ford if that is the choice...

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

    I had heard rumors of a Rabbit TDI coming out early 08, but the VW dealer told me it was just that, a rumor. There is no chance of it before 09, and probably not then due to some govt restriction. The Jetta TDI would be my choice if I could afford 20g's. 60 mpg would be nice :D

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

    That's the thing. I can pick up a new Focus for 10k right now. That's the pull right now. And the EPA for the 07's says 27/37 mpg. I'm currently happy to get close to 20 with 90% freeway driving...

    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"?

    I'm gonna splice it out and see if that helps. I'm hoping that this is the reason that I'm only seeing about 9 volts on the stock gauge, no matter the revs. Alternator was shorted out, so this link probably fried a bit...
