I thought I would post my response to a forum member on one of the other popular corvette forums. He had made a statement about "How could some one have cut some holes in the bumper braces for a trailer" since he felt it was some kind of sacrilege to have used a corvette to tow a trailer. My...

Since I will not be driving the car for a while (rear end died) I thought you may want to look at the system I used for my trips. Here is a very simple system Universal 100 by Vox I would never have been able to travel 20,000 miles in 90 days on my 48 State Tour without it. I would just...

How to remove and install a haft shaft with new u joints on your back. When you hear the squeak, then the clank, its time to replace a u-joint. I drove most of the summer, hoping my haft shaft would not be sitting next to me . So it was time for a repair. Not having a lift was a small...

It has been a long winter in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, and even in Florida. Having said that, I have never been to Carlisle.
