That is my exact fear...but who in the world would steal a Smart? Then again, I did have a rustbucket van stolen, so... Read more

All of my storage spaces are in a 20-mile radius of home...so probably that. Read more

I thought so too at first, but the DeVille of that era was FWD and equipped with a Northstar, while these are said to have the LT1 and RWD, which was the Fleetwood’s layout. Read more

YES! And the footage has to be grainy, too, like you’re viewing it from an old TV with a bad reception. Read more

Up to $400,000 for a bus that will carry about 65 students, or about double the cost of a diesel. The savings are said to be made in not having to maintain or fuel a diesel engine over the course of the bus’ life. Read more

The belt is new, so my focus is on that ball joint! Seller thought that the noises were from the new transmission, not the ball joint and the power steering. Read more

The passenger says that they’ve spent time around planes and aviation. I hope this was the catalyst to get them into a cockpit! Read more
