Well, it's about that time again: time to talk about my Volare. I haven't really touched it since last year, though last time I started it, it fired right up. I wouldn't want to try that again until I drain the tank and put fresh gas + stabilizer in there, the gas in that tank is a couple years...

So, it's been a while, and not much has happened. A lot of this will be rehashing what I've said before. The Volare has been sitting, in theory it still runs but it desperately needs an oil change before I put any miles on it. Right now what it NEEDS to pass inspection is the wiper linkage and...

So with me getting my inspection licenses back, I decided to start job hunting. I applied for a tech position at a Firestone, and within eight hours I got a call asking if I could come in for an interview that same day. I think the interview went well, they asked me some tech questions and I'm...

Hi, I'm Rowan, and I own a 1976 Volaré coupe. It's in fair condition, I plan on doing a light restoration, fresh paint and rustproofing, a bit of interior work, and a few slight performance mods. I paid too much for it, at $3500, but I figured it was worth it to own such a neat car. It only has...
