Buddy just bought a mid-'70s Cutlass. Exceptionally nice car. Legit ~40k miles, new paint, super clean interior, 350. "Nicest mid-'70s Cutlass around". Needed a bunch of relatively minor stuff, like water pump, exhaust, so he's got some money into it now. It was running rough and missing...

I decided to look at my insurance earlier this year. I have homeowner's, specialty/classic vehicles, and my daily driver. My previous provider seemed ok, but I wasn't thrilled with them. They gave me some grief a year or two ago with my homeowner's, saying they couldn't renew my policy...

I don't know how I haven't come across this stuff yet. I'm an avowed rust-o-phobe, I'm always looking for the best ways to avoid/eliminate/roll back rust, and yet, I never discovered Fluid Film until a couple days ago. I've always tried to keep a step ahead of rust on all my daily drivers...

It always rains here in the concrete jungle, so car-related things are on hiatus. I have a dog, and a decent sized fence all around my yard except for one area, where the fence was particularly low. This area happens to adjoin with my weird neighbors who work out in their garden all the time...

In the process of completing the chain link fence around my backyard. There's a gap, where the only fence is the (bad) neighbors', so trying to connect my two areas up to the corner. Problem is, my existing corner post is technically six inches onto the bad neighbors' lot, so don't want to...

After a long stretch of "paying the bills", I'm finally in the process of putting new tires on the Cutlass. The ones that are on it now were used when I put them on 8 years ago, and I think they're 12 years old. They're touring 215/65-15s and traction has been somewhat of an...issue...with the...

Not much appears to be going on here, which is too bad. Felt kind of stupid replying to older posts as I was late in finding out the site was back, but hell with it.

My winter project this year was to re-pad my steering wheel. I like the wheel and it was generally in good shape, but the padding underneath was foam rubber, which had turned to orange goo. I hold the wheel at 11:30 and 4:00, and at the top, the leather was squishy and starting to wrap around...

I -- like at least a couple others apparently -- decided to type in the URL, even though there was no reason to believe it was going to lead anywhere ha ha... Very exciting to see that the wait was not in vain. Welcome back Oldspower!
