One time I came outside to find a cop car behind me in the parking lot. Of course I thought oh no I...

Re: Headlight washers

FWIW, I saw where there were around 1,500 XR4Tis and 150 Scorpios registered in the US. I believe this was from someone who worked for a company that made after-market parts for vehicles, so knowing the potential market size would be important.

Re: How many 1 owner cars left in here?

My parts car had 66,000 on it but it had a bit of rust on the pinch welds and the awful C-3 bit the dust again after a rebuild, so i...

Re: Replacement for factory Mini-spare tire (AKA Donut)

My spare tire on the left. Never been on the car before. I found a newer car in the Pull-A-Part that had the same size spare and had it mounted on the original rim.
