Jeep - motor mounts, sway bar end links - have the parts, don’t have the time.

I’m in the never ending process of refreshing my 98 M Roadster to “factory or better” on mechanical condition. Read more

My GTI needs the trans oil changed and rear rotors installed. Not because it _really_ needs the rotors, but because I bought them ahead of time but didn’t have the right tool to get the caliper brackets off. So I changed the pads, which were due but not urgent, and now the rotors are taking up space on my shelf. I… Read more

Jeep gladiator....time to replace shocks.  4 new Bilstein on the way.  New tires after shocks, back ones first since they have some uneven wear.   New brake pads when I take the wheels off for the shocks.  Just changed the transfer case fluid.  Read more

Wheel bearing. Right now it’s on display as artwork on my desk. No rush, it’s only mildly noisy. Oh that DMM above looks like a Harbor Freight model. Sure, good enough for troubleshooting. Read more

I don’t like to make solid resolutions as such, So I would say this coming year I need to polish and care for the look of my cars more than the mechanicals and I need to drive them more. Read more

I need a new daily driver next summer.

My oldest son has his license and a full time job waiting for him at the conclusion of high school in the spring. I’m handed down my 2005 Mercedes E500. It didn’t cost me much when I bought it in 2018, so it doesn’t owe me anything.

Im going to my first BMW MOA rally this year. On top of that I will probably do some of the Lobo Loco mini rallies. Ill probably take a car to AMA vintage days because I have a grom clone that I plan to sell at that event.  Read more

Different strokes for different folks — I’d wager you’ve found yourself where a lot of people do who ride and have wanderlust... and then find life just doesn’t support doing much of it in its current iteration. Because I still do have that pull to get out there and am hitting a stage in life that actually makes it… Read more
