    USMC National Museum

    Last Friday, while in VA for the Thanksgiving holidays, I visited the above museum in Quantico, VA. Folks, this place is the absolutely most powerful experience I have ever had at any kind of museum, display, or reenactment of any kind. I spent 7 hours touring and looking and feeling, and tears...

    97 base model for sale

    OK yall, let me make it clear straight off, I have no connection with this car or it's owner. I don't know him, never met him, just talked on the phone today. He sounds young on the phone to me, but what the hell, everybody IS young to me! Sounds as if he buys, sells and trades vehicles as a...

    Anyone know of a web site where I can research the going prices of what I call specialty cars. My GF's brother has a '60 T-Bird taht he has had for a lot of years, and he is thinking of putting it up for sale. But he says he has no idea of the value of the car. He is not at all PC savvy, and...

    shifting method

    I'm going back to Commerce GA 11/8/03 for SSHS3, and I'm looking for opinions on shifting 1st to 2nd manually versus letting trans shift automatically. I don't expect to have to worry about 3rd, as car is same as last year, and at 94,95 mph, you are still below redline with 3.08 gears. The MK8...

    1941 Continental

    All I can say is that I have been in love with the original Continental since I first saw it in a movie that involved the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it wasn't "Tora, Tora, Tora". Being a street rodder at heart, I would love to take an original and keep the appearance the same, and insert a...
