    Drove to work yesterday and was involved in a three car collision on the highway. The usual traffic exiting the highway...one car failed to stop, hit the car behind me who was pushed into me. That little Ford Focus hit a real steel bumper and well...you can imagine who received the most...

    That looks great! One could say that it is just an early version of what the modern MVs have! Soft tops, several hard tops, no tops... Is it noisy or rattling on the road?

    Drove to work as well...been using the TCW3 additive for nearly 4 full tanks now...big improvement in sound and general smoothness of engine. Picked up the gallon kit of Opti-lube from a.....n.com recently. Haven't used it yet, but expect there to be even more of an increase in 'performance' as...

    Congrats and hang in there! Read the stickies, some of them directly address those wiring issues...I have chased out, removed and cleaned nearly every wire loom and ground in there and those threads were with out a doubt (along with the TMs!! and diagrams) were critical. Print them out! We...

    Second annual Christmas tree trip! This time the front battery jiggled loose and had a little party. Ended up falling into to the upper heater core hose, wearing a small hole and creating quite a bit of havoc. A lot of duct tape on the hose, a spare nut on the battery hold down and we were...

    My son and I actually washed the M1009. First time in several months! Been driving her two to three times a week, she's not too keen on the elevation around here but doing pretty well. Seems to smoke a little more...
