    Scratch one 2011 Explorer

    Well, so much for the very 1st 2011 Explorer on here. Last Wednesday I had a meeting with a snowplow, and the Explorer lost. It's a write-off. Thankfully no injuries, except to my pride. 1st chargeable accident for me EVER (since 1980)

    Arrgghh...Any engine guru's want to chime in?

    Looking for other opinions, thoughts. Our '66 289 motor has been running a little rough at idle and we've been having problems tuning it. I thought the roughness at idle was the cam lope, but on a hunch decided to see if it was firing on all cylinders. After running it for a little while, I...

    Building a new garage to house the Ponies

    E-Bay ripping off their sellers

    E-Bay is now "legally" stealing money from their sellers. When you sell an item on ebay, not only do they charge you a listing fee and a value fee when they sell, they also charge you a fee based on how much it costs to ship. This means you're being taxed a surcharge to ship by E-Bay as well...
