I can't wait till the salt and stones are off the road to get my wife's baby out for a spin. There's nothing like driving her to a cruise-in around the area. She's under cover and sleeping for the winter. We miss her.

I have finally talked my wife into my childhood dream car. It may not look like alot to you all but I can see through it all. I bought a vw fiberglass dune buggy and a Porsche 914 1.8L engine. This is all in pieces and I took the engine apart to overhaul it. We drove to CT pickup the chassis...

I used my sister's splitter. Its just a 26 tons (lowes, homedepot special). It worked great. Think its MTA or something like that. One pull and it started up. I think she said they paid 1200 for it. They plan to build and give up wood burning and go with gas (LAZY). I have first hand at...
