    The Grip Tip

    Wow! I always wondered about that - I assumed it was just poor tolerance/wear/sloppy manufacturing... See, you guys are educational as well as entertaining ; does that make y'all / us "multi-use tools?!? :shocking::headscrat:shocking:

    WeatherTek Car "Mats" = Awesome

    I went to order a set based on reviews here and "Made In USA" , but they don't make them for my XJ Jeep... :( Oh , and Porschedude 996, you are a fortunate man. Buying mats with regularity is a SMALL price to pay for having a woman that wears high heels with regularity! :)

    Spark plugs- Is there REALLY a difference??

    Agree with the above poster. I have used various [quality] plugs in the same engines [both car and motorcycle] with no noticeable difference. However, I decided to "upgrade' the Autolites in a twin cam Lotus once ... my friend the Lotus expert [from whom I had purchased the car} said "dont do...

    Modern Garage in Far East

    Chewbakka is a doll. Which brings to mind a bit of trivia , albeit somewhat OT... Chewbakka's "voice" in the movie was actually an Alaskan Malamute. The Malamute's name was "Indiana" ; and yes, that's where the name for the Indiana Jones series came from. Dogs rule... :)

    new person intro

    Hi I'm john - new to the forum. I joined basically so I could see the photos and did not plan on saying anything...but right off the bat i see a thread about dogs. And then old cars you wished you still had. Two things I just can't help joining in the discussion about. Here to look at ideas...

    Cars you wish you still had

    I , like many, would like to have most of them back. But I guess if I had to choose it would be my 70 Corvette [both top roadster] , 70 Roadrunner [first car] , 72 Lotus elan +2S130 and the 82 Alfa Romeo GTV6. Thanks to all for posting on threads like this - really enjoy hearing about others old...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Thank you - he is quite a great dog and a joy. A bit of a manipulator and a terrorist as noted above... but an absolute joy. And I like his Jeep... It's ironic that you used to have malamutes - I have been seriously considering adding a Golden to the family!

    Modern Garage in Far East

    Sir, May I chime in here for a moment? I recently "discovered" GJ and saw a feature on your garage on the front page. I signed up so I could see all the pictures of your {and Jack Olsens] garage and cars. I love it. Personally, I'm not too modern/minimalist, but thats for ME and does NOT mean I...
