we just got rid of ALL the rail dust spots on the wifes white envoy denali. they were really prevalent on the running boards . most of it came off with meguires fine cut compound. a few stubborn spots came right off with meg. medium compound followed with the fine . followed that with liquid glass ...

they use the x around here but not as much as ka. i was surprised in georgia at how close you get before they hit you with the x. had plenty of time to slow down when i saw them sitting. still funny to see ten cars hitting the brakes pretty good when they see them sitting there at the last second ...

the escort worked great on our trip to florida. do get a few false warnings in urban areas but it worked great on the open highway. even saved me a possible ticket on one occasion. still was nervous going thru ohio. those frickers like to turn their radar on at the last second when they are going ...

look out georgia , here i come ! :eek:


Have fun through Georgia... Left Orlando at 7:30 in the morning and by the time We reached Chattanooga it was around 9 PM (after we stopped for an hour for dinner) because it rained and there was 5 accidents including a police car spun out in a ditch, a ...

Looking on cl I only found an 8500 for $175 so far. Not looking to set any speed records to florida. Just want a heads up if the boys are watching. I will keep looking and see if I find one at a decent price. Haven't checked ebay yet but I would hate to buy one and not get it before we go. Lol

we are going to be driving from michigan to florida and back at the end of this month and i was thinking about getting a radar detector for the trip. any models you guys recomend ? i do NOT want to spend 3 or 4 hundred bucks for one. just a decent one that will work in MOST situations.

on the wifes envoy the whole headlight assy comes out in a couple seconds. just pull a couple clips out if i remember correctly. you would think the t-blazer would be the same.

it was a guy from southwest arizona. his name is noma yella .

Why only a lease? That thing is sweet!

well if gas prices skyrocket i will only have to keep it for 3 years. i could have bought it for $25,000 out the door. i can still buy it at the end of the lease for $14,500. which is still cheap for that truck with 36,000 miles or less. the sticker price ...

heres a couple of pics of my new truck. 2008 sierra 4x4
picked it up wednesday. traded my bonneville in for $7700
no money down on a 3 year lease = $403 a month
used trade in money to pay off the wifes envoy.
my first brand new vehicle ever.
didnt have great lighting so not the best pics. :roll ...

new rack is in along with new pads and rotorsand tie rod ends . i guess nobody here has ever changed a rack before. about 6 hours of actual work including clean up .

i am going to put on a new rack n pinion and high pressure hose this weekend. any tips i should know about ? i do know to flush the system of old fluid. i have changed one out before on a 85 cutlass ciera. havent jacked the car up and taken a good look at the rack on my bonnie yet to see how tight ...

blue bird . blue interior. like this one. and keeping the stock rims.

just dropped off the trans to be rebuilt. engine getting freshened up real soon. all prep and paint done by myself in the garage. :bow:
i still have to paint the pass door and fender and then all the small parts. easier to get a nice job when car is apart. but it does make it a pain to put back ...

prep-sol is a a wax and grease remover used to clean paint before sanding to remove crapola. also before prime or paint. even the oil from your fingerprints is a no no before paint.

i will see if i can get some more. i think they look a lot better than the black ones. i dont go back to work until july 15th though. i week layoff and one week vacation. i will let ya know when i get back to work.

i got some stainless steel caps to replace the black ones on my car. we made them at one time at my shop. i think we still have thousands of them in our warehouse. i should get some more .
