    Patches of dissolving paint-what is this stuff?

    had the same problem on my 96 continental which was black. We got the hood, front bumper, roof, and trunk painted for 1200$. Came out pretty nice. For the whole car, 2 grand seems fair to me

    Ipod...

    JBL System

    i thought the rear deck "subs" in the JBL are actually 6x9" woofers. Not actualy a sub in the sense, but simply a woofer. I swore when i pulled down my rear compartment in my 96 it was 6x9's (or possibly 5x7's).

    ah, i'm stupid. you're right about it not being the pcv valve. i feel like a dumbass when it comes to engines. Hopefully i'll learn something in my systems of mechanical components class next semester.

    How do you do a sea foam in a conti

    Thanks too! I was wondering about this, and being the engine novice i am, i had no idea where the pcv valve was located in the conti. I hope this helps my gas mileage.
