I’ve done my fair share of buying and selling cars here in California over the years, but every time I do it I swear, I’m always questioning whether or not I’m filling it out correctly. If you’re just selling between one person and another, filling out a title (a.k.a. pink slip) is pretty simple. There are certain things you’ll need to fill out, but I’ve made it simple by outlining the required areas to be filled out by the buyer and seller down below.
We just went through a home remodel, which left a smaller, L-shaped driveway. Because of this, I am left with a pretty tight space where it can fit two cars if they are parked perpendicular to each other. No matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t get my car parked to get the cars perpendicular to each other, which would give me the most room to work. Here’s where having a set of wheel dollies comes in handy.
I was perusing the Facebook Marketplace ads like I usually do and this 2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet came up on my feed. I wasn’t even expecting to find a 911 as the typical price point for my project cars is usually under $10k. However, this 996 popped up for a pretty good price so I had to send a message to the owner.
If the leather on your shift knob has worn down or the leather dye/paint has worn away, then you may be able to restore it easily with simply re-dyeing the leather on the shift knob. On this guide, I will show you how to clean and re-dye the leather on your shift knob so that it looks new again.
How long do you actually have to wait before you can walk on it and more importantly, how long do you have to wait until you can drive or park on new concrete? The short answer is you can probably walk on concrete after 2-3 days and you can drive on it after 1 week.
When you’re in the garage, it can be a bit frustrating if you’re always looking for an outlet to plug into. I had this issue as I recently installed Husky Garage Storage Cabinets, where I have two workbench tops with nowhere to plug into. At one spot, I needed a number of outlets to set up a charging station for chargers, printers, and other devices. At the other spot, I needed some outlets to be able to quickly plug-in equipment whenever I needed it.
I’ve had countless flat tires over the years and everytime it happens, I call up the local tire shop and have them repair the tire. A lot of times, they do a tire plug repair. You can get a tire plug kit and do this type of repair by yourself. However, this is technically a short term repair until you can get the tire patched.
In this post, I’ll go through my process for removing duct tape and the fabric/adhesive residue that may left behind, completely and safely off of a car’s paint. It takes patience and some time to work the material off using a combination of plastic razor blades, adhesive remover (e.g. Goo Gone), saran wrap or a plastic bag, and a rag or microfiber towel.
In a slight deviation from the typical posts I make here on The Track Ahead, I wanted to detail a small project I worked on over the weekend for my kids. We have one of these Power Wheels in the backyard that hasn’t been used in years. This model is the Power Wheels Dune Racer, which is powered by a 12-V battery that comes with the car.
