'''Bold text''' ''Italic text'' [http://www.example.com link title] #For YEARS I have been collecting automobile components. #I was always going to use them for some project or another but most of the time they just end up collecting dust. I have whole vehicles, I have engines and I have a whole assortment of miscellaneous pieces just occupying space where I live. #My wife and my mother have come to the conclusion that I just have too much stuff and I should get rid of some of it! That is an idea that I personally find very REVOLTING! #I LIKE my parts but in an effort to restore peace in my abode, I thought I would create this web page to show them that I am making a real effort to dispose of some of my automotive components. #I do have a few things that I had no planned purpose for when I acquired them but I thought I needed to posses them for some unknown reason. So If You Want Automobile Parts I Might Have The Very Thing You Are LOOKING For! but them again I might not. We will never know unless you contact me. At least I can show my wife that I made a genuine effort to reduce the extensive inventory of automotive spares I have built up over the years! #This weekend I went to an auction and bought a 1984 Buick Skylark Limited. The 2.8 V6 ran great all the way home. It even has a brand new battery in it. The next day I took the Skylark for a drive and 20 miles away from home it stopped moving. The V6 was humming away but I just was not going anywhere! I shut the Buick off and sat there for awhile. When I started the Skylark back up and put it in drive it moved! Down the road it went but only for a half mile then it rolled to a stop again. I finally made it to the next town by repeating this procedure several times. I called Mom to come and take me home. I drove Old Green II with a trailer hitched behind me back to that town to retrieve my ailing Skylark Limited. #Once I trailered it home I changed the tranny fluid and filter. I have driven the Skylark over 300 miles since without a problem. It even gets great gas milage! #Skylark Update #I have now put well over 4000 miles on the Skylark. It sips the gas and the oil has only went down a fraction of an inch on the dipstick. #I have now put about 7000 miles on this Skylark. #Well the Skylark is dead! After putting well over 10,000 miles on the little Buick the tranny has began to slip a little. I have parked it for good. #I have sold the Skylark to a lifelong friend. He has a blazer with a 2.8 in it and decided to buy the little Buick for the V-6. So far he has had a good time pulling wagons around his farm with it.
