I second the advice of going to matches and watching. Most people are quite willing to talk, and it's quite likely you'll be approached by someone to offer help and insight

What did the shop that painted it say when you asked them?

I've been limping this car along on pretty short trips and it hasn't overheated. I drive it about 10.5 miles per day (two trips to the park to walk my dogs). Here's perhaps a silly question: On the oil change prior to the overheating, I had changed from 5w30 to the Rotella 5w40. Is there any...

The oil used on the previous interval was Castrol 5w30. Here's the thread

Improvement over the last report. Virtually no oil consumption. This was with a Fram Ultra Synthetic Filter No track days on this interval. Approximately 2,000 highway miles. Remainder would be city driving in Denver heat.

Usually you have interest within minutes, or at least I have

i've never understood the pink guns or girled-up guns. women's cars aren't decorated like that, nor are other women's products across the board. They're hideous, frankly, and that one in the first pic is even uglier than some i've seen

it's obviously speculation, but it's entirely possible the glock jammed from a contact shot in a 2'x 4' tunnel. who knows--luckily he was able to employ the war hammer!

I use the 4 mitt method and don't worry about grit guards. After washing the car, the mitts go into the washer.

I've always wanted to try a sealant or aquapel, but have used rain-x without a problem since the late 80s. I don't get the glare that some report. It's fast, cheap, easy, and lasts well enough such that it's not a pain to reapply every month. I've read about fake aquapel on amazon. I don't know...

For off the shelf, look at Griot's or Meguiar's Gold Class. Gold Class can be found at any Walmart. Griot's would require a trip to an auto parts store (Advance and Pep Boys sells it, and they also generally have Gold Class, too)

Unfortunately, I don't think Hendrick cars will win anything this year. The three non-Johnsons are hacks (yes, they are). Elliot is another Kyle Petty--all mouth. Byron and Bowman have shown over and over they can't get it done. Johnson may find a way, but it'll take all the skill he's got

Originally Posted By: WhyMe are they doing both head gaskets for that price? in the seattle area it about 2k to 2500 for new head gaskets. this also includes new timing belt and water pump and pulleys as they usually want to do it while they are in there. when my 99 went i did it myself. took...

Originally Posted By: JC1 What's the cost of a used engine installed? You sound like you want to repair it. What's the condition of everything else? Any possibility of this car becoming a money pit shortly after fixing the motor? Personally I think I'd get rid of the car. I would prefer to...
