Last week at the GTO show Kevin asked me why I had a vinyl matt in my trunk. I said how else can you get the floor to rust quickly. The conversation went further to see what others were doing if anything to stop the evil trunk rust. Jim had a carpet between the matt and trunk floor to allow air to circulate....

Yikes, the approaching line of thunderstorms are on a line moving east that extends from southern Canada south to central Nebraska about 650 miles long. Very impressive, looks like we’re in for a blow. Good news, this system should bring some cooler weather.

OK --- my first request for assistance. I'm sure it will be short and easy for you guys. I've only had the car a very short time and it's been in the garage most of that time --- 2+ weeks to get the insurance squared away, family visiting for a number of days, etc. I've noticed a small puddle of rear end grease...

While I was putting in new front brake shoes, I notice a tear in the rubber seal of the upper ball joint. Not that big a tear. I filled the joint with grease. What I am wondering is can I drive the car with the tear a little bit before replacing? This is a new joint I put in about 3yrs ago. Can't think of wh...
