Bought this nice, rust free '67 Cutlass 'vert a couple of weeks ago. Always a Florida car from Sarasota. Needs a little interior work (not much) otherwise real sweet. I have a long history with Oldsmobiles so this car was a great find for me. Already put on a set of staggered 18's on the car and...

Wife's '98 has a misfire and has been getting progressively worse over the last year. Now it bucks a bit, especially with the A/C turned on. Ever since I changed the plugs and boots a year ago it seemed to have a slight miss, now it's worse. No "check engine" lights or anything. Where should I...

I did on Craigslist. I bought this '66 Cutlass back in 1998 just because I wanted the hard to find center console it had for my '67 and the black interior (mine had a yellowish interior). Car ran and looked good and took it for only $1k at the time. I took the parts I wanted, swapped over my...

It's a 2000 Ford Ranger. I bought it for $300 in "unknown" running condition from a public auction and it turns out the 3.0 is seized. Anyone know anything about these trucks? I found a remanufactured '94 motor for $500 on Craigslist and wonder if it will interchange. It's a clean truck (after 2...

I put my '99 Cobra vert on Craigslist for $9k. One guy showed up (real nice guy) and offered $7800. Car is sweet but needs a little work. Driver's seat has tear, needs sun visors and possibly some front suspension work but has an '04 Mach 1 motor in it, 4.10 gears, underdrive pulleys, K&N...

For Xmas I bought the wife a nice Pioneer flip screen DVD/MP3/WMA player and I'm going to install it myself. Will I encounter any problems with the factory Bose crap?. I installed a stereo in my ex '95 without probs but that one didn't have the Bose stereo like hers does and hers requires a...

Bought an '05 Dodge RAM Daytona Edition truck the other day. 39k miles on the odo and aside from a small dent on the rear bumper its almost showroom condition. Jamie wanted to buy my old '97 Chevy S10 but instead his friend Matt bought it (thanks again Jamie for helping me sell it quickly)...

Over the last couple of weeks, Jamie painted and installed an '04 Cobra rear bumper on my '99 Cobra and sanded and repainted the front bumper for me. The rear bumper came from a gray Cobra and the front was really looking bad from love bugs and scratches in general. Jamie did a great job!. Car...

September 11, 1999. The horror, the screaming, the pain, the agony. Truly a bad day. I remember it like it was just yesterday. Now I know everyone is thinking I got the dates wrong but 9/11/99 is the day I got married. I hear that date 2 years later was pretty bad too.:D

I swear my wifes M8 has a mind of its own. Car was awesome from a reliability standpoint until recently. Past few months, the suspension had problems, center console cup holders broke and now this thing with the "Door ajar" message popping up when both doors are indeed closed. Started happening...

Now this was a deal that came out of nowhere. Got this from my best friend. Calls me up from a Toyota dealership and says he's at the office and he traded in his Vortech supercharged '04 Mach 1. I flipped out, I'm like, you didn't come to me first???. I asked what they were offering him on trade...

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been here. Been busy. Anyway, my wifes '98 has a leak in the front suspension. It drops when parked over night. What is the easiest fix?. Thanks.

It aint a Mark VIII but it does have a 4.6 DOHC. Bought a '99 Cobra convertible, triple black with an '04 Mach 1 motor, chip, 4.10's, off road h pipe/flowmasters, pulleys and a whole bunch of other mods. Should be an honest high 12 second car.

The door on my wife's '98 stays open after the lock button is pushed on the remote OR when you press the button inside to lock the doors. I looked at it and it seems to want to go down but doesn't; you have to push the lock thingy down so it locks. How do you fix this?. Thanks for any help.

Hey guys, have a problem with my wifes '98. She heard a "pop" or light "bang" of some sort and then the car starting running like crap. She drove it home and it sounds like the motor has a bad miss from the passenger side. At idle you will hear a pop pop pop. This car only has a bit more than...
