I got a surprise a few years ago when I dropped by a custom exhaust shop here in the Sacramento area. This shop does excellent work and makes what looks to be custom exhaust art. Their merge collectors are claimed to be exceptional. I was told that a complete custom bundle of snakes for my...

O.K. I made it 91.9 meters! I am a little disappointed I didn't make it to the finish of the race. At 50 meters they put a hurdle on the track as an obsticle that you have to get over. That was a pretty tall task considering I was bouncing on one knee with my other leg in the air most of the...

Hi Eric, Earlier this year I replaced the crank angle sensor in my wife's 3.0 Taurus. I did little research. I purchased the only one that Napa had which happened to be Dorman brand. I think I paid around $55.00. I was not impressed with the tolerences or the quality (FYI ,Dorman is made...

Yesterday morning I set out on a day road trip to Southern California to retreive a windshield that I bought from Fran (at RCR) and was waiting at Sandy's house near Los Angeles. I was on the road by 4AM and I made it back home by 6PM. I drove in all just under 850 miles. Here are some...

My Wife was at the DMV on Jan. 2nd at 8:45 AM and 150 of the 500 numbers available were already issued.

I guess you could call that a "Woody"?
