We called them shoe horns. You put it behind your heel when you're slipping your foot into a shoe so that you don't roll down the back of the shoe and you can get into the shoe easier. If you've ever been to a shoe store that has actual employees, they will often use them when waiting on you.

Seem to remember that we called them a shoe horn in our area.

Well, I see it as just a form of advertising in keeping the dealership in mind for a next purchase or maintenance experience. I keep in mind that some people buy multiple vehicles within a set time-frame such as two years. I'm seeing that some don't keep vehicles very long and those sorts of...

I'd be interested if it fit my schedule. I'm in N.E. Ohio

No doubt that octane and winter gas has some to do with that but also, when the engine is cold, it eats gas.

Still pulling like a champ. 2nd trip to the lake and no problems . Weight is about 3500 to 3800 lbs. Distance from home is about 35 miles on mostly straight & flat roads. & No, we don't tow with the mast up. Didn't need to learn from that recent Mexican ship the Cuauhtemoc mishap.

@TheShark Emissions :-( ugggh. My dad had an 82 Cougar S/W with a V6 that got it's (3) catalytic converters clogged by bad gas. It was a gear-bound dog to begin with. Cost a lot to change out those converters. I wish that they would have just put in straight pipes.

@RideSolo I drove on the German Autobahn in a rented Opel station wagon of about 1977 vintage. The average flow of traffic was in the 80mph range but some cars were really moving. It's all that little 4 banger could do to get out of the way.

As the other person mentioned, you have to thread the bolt on with the flat sided part towards the bracket. Thread it on so that it's almost fully threaded. then insert it and turn the bolt so that it catches while pulling out on the bracket to tighten. Otherwise the bolt will spin inside the...

@RideSolo I remember driving up to the top of Mt. Washington N.H. back in the 60's. We had something like a 69 LTD that did fine with a 351W 2 Bl. The big Pontiacs had to pause from overheating though.

@TheShark Yeah, lots of differences since then. C of G, suspension, tires. I do miss rear wheel drive burn outs though. Those cars just handle right for that one aspect. Can't even burn out with all wheel drives. :-(

@TheShark here's the car of my other friend. With the 409 engine.They sure don't make em like that anymore.

@TheShark His Trans am is the 10th Anniv edition. 6.6 L engine W/T tops. One of the end of the Muscle Car craze but according to specs, the 2.0L Mav. will beat one in 0-60 by about a full second. This is my friend's beast.

Most likely, it's not been done because only one is necessary. The struts are designed for a certain length and weight. So if you used two, each would have to work for a smaller load.

Another thing that can happen is if the tailgate cable gets caught between the tailgate and the strut. I had to bend the cable attachment at the top to align the cable so that doesn't happen.

As a kid, One of the locals had a pinkish-orange Rolls Royce. Almost copped a hubcap when he wrecked it. or my friend's 1979 Trans Am. One of the silver ones with the big firebird on the hood. or. more recently, a friend owns a Chevy 409 (Like the beach boys song). But: (bored and stroked motor...

My 22 XLT doesn't have a dashboard button. I have to push in on the back side of the fuel lid.

yeah Janky. Mine would do two things. Lose the index on my bigger flash drives and wouldn't allow me to scroll through any list while driving.
