Alright, so my 91 XLT has been acting up lately. I noticed a little while back that she would get warm, so I added coolant/water to the dry resevoir. No big deal, probably a small leak... I checked the resevoir consistently after that. Not really any more leaking. No more heating up, so more...

Well the subject pretty much covers it. I was near the corner of State Highway 121 and Stacy Rd, pulling into my work parking lot, and I was passed by an oncoming lifted 4x4 Explorer. It was a dark colored Ex with a black Grille Gaurd if I remember correctly. The weather is crappy here (rain and...

Hey guys, I was wary to put this in the 911 section, but its gotten to the point that I have trouble driving on the freeway. This is my 1991 Explorer XLT, 5 spd manual, 4.0 V6 with 144k miles. I first noticed this a few weeks ago, while driving home from work. When in 5th gear, if I press...

Wouldnt Start 9/24 - Repaired! Alright, my 1991 Explorer is making me have a bad day. Earlier today I went to start it for lunch, and it just clicked and then nothing. I thought to myself, oh no, so I try again, nothing at all this time, no click even. I pop the hood, but dont get out yet, give...

Ok, much like the "everything under the sun" thread, I have seen a lot of what I consider to be cool cars around lately. Feel free to post cars you see in your town/area. Please nothing that you just see on the 'net, only things you have seen in person that make you think "this is cool" --Bryan...

Ok, I know some of you may view this as Post Padding, but personally, Ive been here since MArch of 2002, and Im finally hitting 1000 posts. Ive always wondered if I was considered a "steady member" of the commuinty like Black Magic, Ahhjaws, Stephen, jimabena74, or Hartman... or if I was seen as...

This morning as I pulled into my parking lot at work, I called 911 to report this accident. I arrived before any police, however there were plenty of bystanders/helpers at the scene so I kept distance as to not get in the way. It was a white Ford Escape that turned left into oncoming traffic...
