Re: Car sat for six years. What to check?

I had a too-old tire but with great tread depth disintegrate on me once on the highway. Don't risk it for a couple hundred bucks. I would definitely investigate any fuel smell/leak and carry a proper fire extinguisher in the meanwhile. Other than that not too much to worry about I would say. Clear a...

Re: Lowest price 850 I've ever seen (Hot Wheels)

We have multiples of all of them, I think, between me and my oldest.

I also painted up a mini version of my wife's car for her.

Re: Name that rusty part

I am guessing that it is the pinch bolt at the base of the control arm that attaches to the wheel hub.
