Cool Car Tip Of The Day

If you’re working on your car, and you have a vacuum or water hose that just won’t stay on, no matter how hard you tighten the clamp… Spray a thin layer of hairspray on the joiner in your troublesome area. Assemble the parts and wait 30 minutes for the hairspray to dry. This will make […]

Pontiac. Good-bye To All That.

Well, the last P-car just rolled off the assembly line. I never quite understood the logic of killing off that particular division. Though Buick sells a little better right now, it’s an old peoples demographic. With Pontiac, there is a definite performance car tradition. You could have retooled the Grand Am to be a sports […]

The owner had just bought the thing a few hour before. It apparently got rear-eneded by a Camry, which shoved the sloping front end under the Mercedes […]

My Dash
