Got new car insurance for the Mustang from Grundy under their "collector car" policy. $250 for the year with the car value at $18k. Couldn't believe how reasonable it was, not to mention how cheap my 2 year AZ registration was for a car now 13 years old.

The wife drives a 2002 Chevy Blazer, it's developed a slow antifreeze leak coming from the intake manifold gasket, as best I can tell. I dumped a bottle of "Bar's Leaks" block seal in and ran it for 15 min as directed. Anyone have any luck using this stuff? Leaks about a half gallon every month but she doesn't drive much, maybe 20 miles a week.

You pose this question in the antifreeze capital of the world?

More seriously, stop leak products are best for pinhole leaks in things like the radiator fins. It's not going to end a gasket leak. The chemistry that bonds the stop leak to pinhole leaks isn't even compatible with the material that's failing in the gasket [like putting a band-aid on a broken bone. Band-aids fix skin abrasions]. You're gonna want to replace that.

no. Fix it. Seriously.
And use the problem solver gaskets.

If it's coming out on that motor it's also going in most likely. It will tank the bearings quickly.

Use fel pro problem solver aluminium/rubber gaskets also. Don't use plastic ones again.

I've probably done that job (between the 4.3 and 5.7) hundreds of times.

So I just checked the oil and it's not milky, should I try changing the oil and see what happens or bite the bullet?

I'm pretty sure your going to say bite the bullet, not sure I want to tackle this project right now. Looks like the repair pal cost to take it somewhere is $400 to $650, what do you charge?

It doesn't take much to ruin some bearings.

I'm around 450. With the expensive gaskets.

A difference insurance question here and Sauto price estimate if you can. What's the rough cost to replace a car window if it's shattered?

I just figured out that our car insurance policy has been charging us an $80 yearly glass coverage that waives our $1k deductible for glass only coverage on one of our cars. The reason we have a $1k deductible is because we would never have a problem paying out $1k for an unexpected car repair. This gets us lower yearly rates and in the past 7 years, we've never had even one insurance claim anyway. He stated the new car would be $120 for this glass policy for the year, meaning we'd be paying $200 a year in "glass coverage" for both cars, something that we would maybe rarely use (haven't yet), when the cost to replace a car window probably isn't even that much anyway. I'm thinking about discontinuing this glass coverage on both car policies.

Not a big deal to most of you but I got my B/U lights working yesterday. Took about 2 hours to get the wiring lined out but I think its pretty cool. I used LED bulbs so they are bright as hell.

Anything you post about that car is awesome.

Looks nice and bright.
