Last Wednesday, Accumulatorette and I were in the S8 travelling south through West Virginia on I77. A young deer jumped over the guardrail from below my line of sight and trotted across the highway in front of us. With a couple seconds to respond, I was able to avoid hitting it and it made it...

I need someone to look over a '75 XJ Coupe in Quincy IL. I cannot get out there soon enough to do it myself as this needs to happen within a few days from now (8/25/03). Quincy is on the west edge of IL near Hannibal MO. I'm not necessarily looking for a truly expert appraisal (sure...

I've generally switched over to Griot's Speed Shine (from EF Clear Pearl) for my carnauba'ed cars. I do use Pinnacle Crystal Mist over Souveran on my garage-queen, and I'm using Sonax, BF, or Meg #34/Final Inspection (as the mood strikes) for cars with KSG and BF for the car with BFII. I also...
