Open deck car trailer prices
(Preview)
Wow. I have not kept up on the price of open car trailers. In 2007 bought a brand new 18' trailer, 2' dovetail, wood deck with a spare tire. I bought it in Nebraska, about 800 miles from home. My friend offered to bring it home for me with his new Duramax if I paid all the expenses. That trailer cost me about $2...

Found this line tag while going through some papers. I think it was from some seat I had bought at one time. Forgotten what it was from. For fun, anyone care to decode?

I know its not automotive related but I needed a clock radio for my son to use for an alarm clock. I dig up an old Sony cube radio and the standby battery needed a change. It must be twenty years old!

We all like a happy ending story for a car.......here's mine.

In 1997 my father passed away and I had his 1979 two door Chevrolet Caprice shipped out west from Ontario. I drove for about three years and didn't do much to it except having the transmission rebuilt. It was a great car but with four kids aged 16,14,12 and 10 it really wasn't a car for my troop.
