HI! I'm new from Michigan

Post by pope »

I've been lurking for a while and decided to post for first time. My headlights are dim and wondered what I could do about it. I just bought this spider (Dont know what year, but it is old and has something called a carbberratorr or something like that in it). When I brought it home, my mom decided to give it a bath.
Thanks

Pope, don't worry about how bright the headlights are, just don't drive at night. Don't worry about what a 'carburetor' is, they never cause any problems. Don't worry about what year your car is, it's not an '82, so it doesn't matter. What you need to worry about is your Mother climbing all over the car when she's washing it!

Since we’re posting pictures of our relatives, here’s a photo of my two Italian cousins and their Fiat.

Denise, if you contact Mrs. Bouse, I'm sure she'll email you a picture of Mike wearing some Daisy-Duke-ish cutoffs and working on his car shirtless.

Hmmm, that gives me an idea. Why don't all you fellas send me a pic of you in a compromising position while working on your Fiats and I'll make my own Snap-On calendar? Now be sure to wear something revealing and have your favorite tool. Mike, you can be Mr. January. 8)

So Alvon in his coveralls, swinging a sledge hammer at a crow bar working on my car won't make it into your calendar?

I'd be very careful about asking for guys to photograph their favorite tool!
