Since I know a few of you have late 90's/early 2000's GMC or Chevy full size trucks, thought I'd throw this out there. When towing the enclosed trailer to MN a few weeks ago, I stopped at a gas station in Missouri to fill up (many times for the trip... lol), and pulled up to the pump and went to put the truck in...

The car rides so nice with the new radials, I am thinking about adding a rear sway bar.

I would just swap ou...

Neither one has Internet, but they seem to partner with other companies to offer a lower rate. I had Dish in the past, and every ti...

My son just purchased a 1964 Chevelle SS that has a 230 six for an engine. He wants to put in a 327 that I have. Does he need to change the motor mounts and if so does anyone have a set for sale.

Wife just traded her Impala for a Equinox. I would like just a spare key, no remote with it. Is that possible with these flip key/remotes? looks like you might be able to buy a blank for the remote and have that cut and fashion something on the end to help you turn the key.

Hey all. Going to be putting my 8x12 wood shed on Craigslist. To help it sell I am trying to figure out how to link the possible buyer up with a way to transport it. Anybody know of a place that will rent a flat bed trailer? Or someone that moves these for a fee?

... to look into the asking price of this old gas station where I'm moving to. It's got a cool 60's look to it, and would make an awesome private shop. Only issue is it's on a main intersection, so I'm sure the seller is looking to cash out. So many ideas... so little money!

Looks to be a quality car. It's at the guys farm in Farmington that rebuilds transmissions. He and his brother are both into cars. Big price for a Malibu convert with the 283. To much for my blood. Most of these Malibu converts I see go from 20-30K. Convert

Check out this parking job in my front yard. Just getting ready to hit the sack when Angie said there's something going on in our front yard. I look out the window to see two fire trucks, an ambulance and four squad cars. The driver was very lucky to have missed some large trees.
