    Corvette?

    Well...you may think I'm crossing over to the dark side? I'm in the process of adding a '73 Corvette to my stable. I guess I have a thing for the '70s since I have a '72 Camaro to go with my '72 Mustang. This one is just a fun car...another driver and the price was right. JHawk

    Hobofest 2014

    Nice party atmosphere in downtown Kirby (a suburb of San Antonio). A great band, cold beer, and lot's of beautiful rides. I even picked up a first place trophy. It was especially satisfying going up against a beautiful '67 G/T Fastback that had lots of hardware. Here are a few pics.

    Wiper Blades stop in up position

    This seemed simple but I'm not exactly sure where to start. My windshield wipers work properly until its time to stop...at which time they stop in the up position. How do I adjust this? I searched but if there is a link explaining it please point me to it. Thanks, John
