I am replacing my wife's 1500 single port engine in her buggy with a new Mexican long block. I have 2 single port heads, crank w/ connecting rods, cam and flywheel, that are going to end up in the trash unless somebody wants them for the cost of shipping or free to pick-up in Delaware. The engine...

Last night I watched Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). The one where acrophobic Jimmy Stewart follows the mystery lady up the tower of a mission church. Not only are the cars more interesting than the actors in this movie, but it is probably the only movie ever made in which the lead character drives a...

A few hours ago I saw a tv ad for Allstate Insurance which showed a vintage VW transporter (blue/white in great condition) picking up people all across the country for the good hands people. For some reason,all the VW logos were removed. I doubt vwoa would object, so why...
