I would drive it, but I’m all about the adventure
I quit taking my cars to a small local show because of this, all the newer import stuff were doing burnouts leaving etc. When I brought up my...
Damn I would buy a pair of those wire covers. Beautiful.
Interesting topic. Everyone keeps telling me no one wants to be a mechanic. In the ten years I’ve been teaching apprenticeship automotive, this...
