Re: sign of the times

If you look, just about all new semi’s and other heavy duty trucks are automatics. Most on the road today are automatic. Some manufacturers like Kenworth, don’t even offer manual transmissions. I...

Re: Fuse size

Re: Jazz Age '28 Sport Coupe on Hemmings Auction

So if someone offered you $50k or twice it's value for your car, you'd turn it down?

Re: Bill Stipe Houdaille shocks

He shouldn’t be a mystery to contact. He turned the business over to a son, and I believe Bill has stepped in to help. It’s also been said they’re in a long process to move the business to Kentucky. ...
