Looks like another American firm has taken the "jump ship" approach to paying corporate taxes. By merging with Tim Hortens, Burger King dodges having to pay certain corporate taxes. May e we should all move to a foreign country to avoid paying our fair share. I think everyone would like to get...

Riding solo w/no tunes for 12 hrs totally sucked. Thank God I still have the auto trans in there; as I'd never have made it in bumper to bumper traffic for 3 hrs with a stick!

When the changer blew a fuse, a disc was stuck in the player side, instead of the magazine side. After I removed all the discs, it was able to scan & eject the frozen disc. Bottom line: tunes on the way home!

No problem

I had a fuse blow in the factory 6 disc changer in my trunk. When I replaced the fuse, the trouble code "E-02" showed up on the remote LED. Once again, I'm in Va. Beach, w/o access to the troubleshooting guide for the changer. Last week, that tornado that touched down in Brunswick, Ohio was 500...

Ethanol: legal drinking & driving! When prepping a TQ for rebuild, don't bead blast or wire wheel the throttle shafts. That is a Teflon coating, which if intact, will offer some resistance to the corn squeezin's you're feeding your engine. Too bad the same cant be said for the rest of the fuel...

The Imperial's manual door lock is at the end of the door panel. I know Mirada's have them near the middle. Does your car have center or rear manual locks? You may need the linkage to match the Imp door panels.

For repairs, go to your local school bus garage. They have a vinyl that looks like Elmer's Glue, spreads with a spatula, heat with a heat gun, but before it completely sets, use the grain pattern sheet to "texture" the vinyl. Finish heat curing the vinyl, then paint with vinyl dye. Vinyl dye &...

I saw stalled mine.

Yeah, what he said. When you go to roll back the vinyl, I like to heat the vinyl until pliable. That way you minimize the chances of splitting it. Don't go Gonzo with an industrial heat gun, an ordinary blow dryer should do the trick. Without actually seeing it in person, it may require new...

The girth/gravity impaired!

Tapered on the ends, so the assembly line doesn't slam shut!

See what I mean? Go into the Docker/Polo shirt wearing "corporate" guy's jobber shop & bring up ANY of the points brought up here, & see what answers you get. The cherry popper for me is when I ask the counter man which systems HE personally uses, or has had the most success with. After the deer...

That's right, we don't believe in inconveniencing the drinker while he's driving!
