Maybe I'm not the best to weigh in on this topic as I have never been a speed demon or risk taker, ever since I was a little kid. But another OT...
I'm not a business owner so I wouldn't be able to offer much on the original three questions, but since Hot Rod Ron doesn't seem opposed at the...
I find the best way to keep things copacetic and not be tempted to lie is to let my wife control the purse strings. She keeps us on budget,...

Sort-of update: I can't believe it's been more than two weeks but I FINALLY got my father-in-law on the phone this past weekend, so I wanted to...
No worries on my end Tim, I hope I didn't come off too salty. One of the first things I picked up on around here is how much people hate taking...

Thanks to everyone who has chimed in so far. This response will be mostly directed to Tim's post since it's the most thorough. 1. Hard to believe...

Late to the party as always, but was really interested to see HRP ask this question. As someone who is still learning all the nuances and ins and...
Happy 4th everyone, sorry for the delay--busy two days at work, but had a chance to get back to fooling around with the car this morning....
Fritz, thanks for pointing that out. The choke is something I am completely not used to dealing with, so I would never have noticed that. It...

F-One, I can't peg an exact date on it at the moment, but the tank is excellent shape, it at least looks new from the outside. Of course it is...
No worries warhorse, no offense taken by your post and no apology necessary. You can probably tell as excited as I am to own a car like this it...
Damn, I just realized why tubman put "electrical" in quotes...because it was supposed to be electronic. Duh. I know it doesn't have points, is...
