 More on more doors  


The face that only a Mother, or a Cadillac lover could love.

Has it come to this?

 More comparison shopping.


2013 Cadillac XTS 13,000.00

Because looking at cars is just fun.

This one caught my eye because of the nice color combo.

 Maybe I'm not really a Car Guy. Part Three?


I knew that I'd have to confront the issue someday.

 What is going on here?


Why do I like stuff like this?


 7,000 dollars.

This '41 Cadillac Series 60 sedan showed up recently on CraigsList. It is not that far from me, as it's located just south of Gilroy, about a one hour drive. This is a model that I have admired for a very long time. I had gone to look at a '40 LaSalle sedan earlier this Spring, and I thought that it would be a good idea to take a look at this car. These don't turn up that often, so I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

 Getting the '96 Mustang ready for sale. Part two.


This was the long section of hose.

This process has been a bit unusual, because these events are happening almost in real time.

I started this job almost two weeks ago. I first posted about the repair last week. I had started the process at the beginning of the week that I posted.  The car has been up on jack stands all this time. A couple of days after I posted, I was still trying to install the passenger side upstream oxygen sensor.

 Getting the '96 Mustang ready for possible sale.


The Mustang has been sitting on jack stands for a couple of days.

Or at least for next year's registration.

As I said earlier, the CEL lit up on the dash. However, the car seemed to run as good as it ever has. I continued to drive it until I swapped places with the '06 to put a new set of tires on it. The CEL went out on it's own before I made the switch.

 Thoughts after watching American Graffiti.



While I was out of town on a weekend get a way, I attended two automotive events, a Cars and Burgers, on Friday afternoon, and a fairly big car show on Saturday in Sonoma.

Later that Saturday afternoon I watched American Graffiti on DVD. 

I've seen this movie numerous times, but I still enjoy it. But this time I had a different take on it.
