Revell 56 Nomad and Del Ray, and probably the newer-tool 57 Chevys, have separate wipers.

Detail Master made photo-etched wipers.

On Saturday I saw a silver Dino 246 on a flatbed.

I was rear ended a few years ago. The driver who caused the crash was not insured. My uninsured motorist coverage, along with the UMPD deductible waiver, paid for repair of the damage and a rental car. There was no "accident" (crash) on my record and no increase in my premium. The key words are "at fault". If an insurance company raises you rates for a not-at-fault crash, it's time to find another insurance company

A really nice early 70s Mercedes-Benz 450SL

if you were, as you say, "slammed by a UPS truck", and you are not at fault, your insurance had better not go up.

One thing that really baffles me: I take my car to the dealership for an oil change, tire rotation and "Inspection". They take out the cabin air filter, take a picture of it if it's dirty, send me the picture in a text, put the filter back in. They recommend replacement of the $25 filter, at a cost of $85.00. This is a job that takes five minutes at the most.

After getting oil change done on my Outback, I saw these vintage items at the Galpin Porsche Palace in Santa Clarita.

One of the NNL West organizers told me that they had a "grandfathered" rental rate with the convention center for many years. I heard that there had been a change in the management group for the Convention center and the reduced rate was taken away. We all know that in the past few years many of the NNL West organizers have passed away. As Dave said, there were no firm plans for succession and no one willing to step in and help organize the show. As many who organize model car shows know, a lot of these events are dependent on the efforts of a small handful of dedicated individuals. The venue for the show I help organize has had several management changes since our show's inception. Each time this has happened there has been uncertainty over our status with the venue, but we have communicated with the management and have been able to keep our date with the venue.

Ford never got the transmission in the Taurus right. The "powershift" twin clutch trans in the 2012-up Focus was a joke. They should have ;looked at what made the C6 and FMX work and last so well.

When they have enough material to make it worthwhile to publish an issue. It's NOT bimonthly.
