Vehicles that "self change" the oil. That's not a flaw, it's a feature. I've owned a few 

Gotta love the EJ's... I ran one to over 380k. Just kept the oil topped off.

I've seen the abuse they can take,a good friend owns nothing but subaru. If they hold up to his abuse, they gotta be good. 380k is serious mileage.

Many, MANY, moons ago I worked for a small Toys R Us for about 5 years and still miss the stores and have been pulling for their recovery as they have been trying. They just opened a new, smallish store in a “premium” outlet mall near me so we went over this past Saturday to check it out with my Dad, Sister, BiL, and Niece who was born 2 years after TRU closed all of it’s US stores.  It’s not like I worked at but was neat to see. Didn’t buy anything there that day as I needed new shoes and bought a couple pairs at the nearby Nike store, but one pair wouldn’t fit, so I took that pair back tonight. Since that new TRU was between the Nike Store and where I parked, I wandered back through there and found something I was looking for before we left for home Saturday and couldn’t find……….

OEM dash top for the Neon came in today. Almost perfect, no embrittlement (the one in the car broke up into chunks when I took it out).

NOTE: This is NOT some cheap aftermarket cover or overlay. It's the real OEM assembly.

Wrong color, but that's what they make flexible interior dye for...as soon as I pull a mold from it so I can make more if/when necessary.

They ain't cheap.

I just got this brand new super PC yesterday that I've been setting up with my software and copying all my files over to from my old PC. My old PC is Widows 10 and will no longer get updates. This new PC is blazing fast too. Its an Envision S13 SFF PC

Flew in from Detroit late last night after having spent 8 days in Michigan. A few Ford wares found their way home. This is a small sampling of what I bought while on my trip.

Had to detour around the block and up the alley to the lot because comcast had the end by the lot blocked.

A guy was hauling stuff to the alley from a vacant house and I saw the headstock sticking out of a barrel.

I asked the guy about it and he said it just junk left by a tenant over a year ago.

I asked if I could take it and he pulled it out and said "would you give 10 for it so I bought it.

Was filthy. Cleaned it up put a string where one was missing, tuned it and it sounds better than my Squire Strat Afinity does!

Super low action too!

Never seen a Cort with that style headstock before?

Sorry, just now saw this! They're employee badges. The letter denoted which department of the plant you worked in. This style used from 1937-1962
