A trip through an automotive museum of sorts
Published on July 25, 2009
I always enjoy browsing the Virginia Beach Pick N Pull yard. There were no RX7’s today so I spent some time just looking at some automotive history. I am not much for touring an art gallery, but I consider the Pick N Pull a museum for guys like me. I can view [...]

I love the self service junkyard. Pick N Pull is my local favorite and I took a trip out there today to pick up a few items. These yards are great sources for hard to get OEM parts. There are also great deals on normal wear items if you are willing to [...]

A day in the garage
Published on January 3, 2009
It was a busy day in my garage. I had to pull the Rx-7 out and put the Cadillac in the service bay for some unscheduled maintenance.
My STS turned 215,000 miles this week and it seems that the original starter gave up the ghost. The cold weather has been making the [...]
