In registering a vehicle is the car always described by the vin? If you take a Camaro and convert it into Firebird.. or VW into dune buggy... Is it always titled as to what the origin on the vin was? Or does it change to reflect the current appearance of the car? I'm planning on changing a Vega into an Astre....

There is a 60 chevy that I am thinking about maybe buying. The owner has lost the key and the car has been stripped for body work and paint. But everything that came off the cars exterior in preparation for body work is in the trunk or interior of the car all locked up. I would want to check the floors and tr...

I just want to verify. It's been a while since I've done this. Typically you turn the knob clockwise for less rear line pressure and counterclockwise for more pressure? Right?

1. Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. 2. To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. 3. A priest, a do...

I've been looking for a fun non-winter car for a daily driver to drive for work and on weekend getaway trips that will still get decent mileage vs. the truck, and pulled the trigger yesterday on this 1996 Camaro RS. It has the 3.8 Liter V6 that is 200 HP, and the 4 speed automatic, so it is fun to drive, but s...

Okay guys- here's the deal from TPIS- They will give us a special deal- $50 gets 3 pulls on the chassis dyno! That's a pretty sweet deal and they'll hang out until everyone who'd like 3 pulls gets the chance. If you were on the fence about attending the May meeting on the 17th, this should nudge you over the...

I'm a big Nascar fan, and today I was flipping through a book about the history of Nascar. Leave it to Smokey Yunick to make a 7/8ths car. It sounds like nascar started mandating a template to make sure cars were the correct size after this went down. I have to imagine that would have taken some time to buil...

I have (4) separate connections into my gas tank. (1) is into my Fuel Tank sending unit. But there are (3) others, one on the far left, one in the middle, and one on the far right.

Looking for some feedback. I am looking at purchasing a open car hauler trailer. Considering a 18' steel tilt, or 20' steel beaver tail. I know there are pro's and con's to both.

I have been trying to get my spring yard and house chores done and finally got some time to get the car cleaned up. When I was finishing up I saw the reflection of my neon sign in the hood and figured I have enough compound, polish and wax on it for this year.

I hear and see the term ‘Back in the Day’ used often. I understand what it means to me; at least I think I do, but it may not mean the same to someone younger or older.
