I'm leaning toward a new canyon carver. 2020 GT350R - I'm up in the air on the flashy heritage one or something more stealthy.

Black Friday sales are a great time to snag an induction heater, ultrasonic cleaner, or another toy – ahem, tool – you've been wanting all year.

Santa brought me the '31 Coupe early (Nov 10), so I think anything else will probably be a birthday gift in March.

If my '55 Buick sells...that will be a bonus gift!

How about a set of rear bumper brackets for a 180-A? That would make me happy!

What I want you cannot buy in a store or any other place.

Well, I just missed a good deal on a 29 Phaeton. It would be nice to see another one pop up!

im trying to get my HOA to approve a pop-up garage.
my poor car has been in the elements for six months, and storage would cost upwards of 250$.
Santa, help, PLEASE!

Santa is coming a few weeks early this year, he’s bringing me all the odds and ends necessary to finally build my Burtz engine. Including the downdraft carb setup.
