I can't remember what I was going to say about the first photo. I remember the second very clearly.
Nah, that doesn't matter.

Dad, remember what I said about the bore of hub-centric wheels needing to match the diameter of the hub? This Chinese trailer came right from the factory with wheels that don't. Look at the secondЧитать далее

On those TV shows where they build cars they give each one has a clever name. I'm calling this project "I Love You Every Bit as Much." (Yes, it's definitely sarcasm.)

I'm making up the lovely part. It's in between an auto parts store and a Ford dealer. But it's clean. The reason I picked it was I was starting to feel some fatigue. If you're not 100% focused on theЧитать далее

I'm at the Knotty Pine bar and lounge. They forgot to add "dive" to the name. I asked for a beer list and they had bud, coors, miller, and their lites, nothing else. Well, I feel like a local with aЧитать далее
