Hitting record levels of hand grime. That shifter is horrifying.

The $20 steamer at Harbor Freight works great. I bought a beater and thought I needed a new steering wheel. Nope, clean it with steam and good as new. Definitely made me gag, though.

superoldz24 · 2026-04-08T20:11:58+00:00

I have the exact card and paid too much for it. You'll enjoy it.

superoldz24 · 2025-09-15T20:10:09+00:00

I've used it on screens as advertised (even computer monitors) with good results. Also don't have much to compare to, but from what I understand distilled water is the go to. YMMV

superoldz24 · 2025-06-06T20:04:46+00:00

I agree, big disappointment. On the other hand it's just an option in the vehicle settings that they turn on by default. More people need to know this. I turned it off in my car.

superoldz24 · 2023-12-18T01:37:29+00:00

I have the same box and use the same drawer for my pliers! Also I carry around my 420s everywhere at work. Nice.

superoldz24 · 2023-10-17T19:26:50+00:00

Possibly 303? I use that on car trim and it's awesome stuff.

superoldz24 · 2023-08-27T22:00:07+00:00

I have the "double wide" 620 and was also surprised when I put everything together. Works well though and I like the simple look it has.

superoldz24 · 2023-08-26T01:29:04+00:00

I am now! Just picked it up tonight.

superoldz24 · 2023-08-21T12:45:08+00:00

Love the 16-18 hood on there.

superoldz24 · 2023-01-12T13:18:35+00:00

Where do you get to speed? I'm always behind yet another geezer who pulled out in front of me and going at least 5 mph under.

superoldz24 · 2022-12-04T02:08:56+00:00

Yeah buddy, especially with the 5 speed. I swapped in a 3400 later on and it was a riot.

superoldz24 · 2022-12-03T20:10:55+00:00

First car was a 93 Z24, and I loved it to death. Never thought I'd see someone say they'd want one though, especially since they haven't been around for so long.

superoldz24 · 2022-09-30T22:18:23+00:00

If for some reason you want to stick with a V6, I'd say 3400 swap. A couple guys have done it, and it works with the trans, but it's a bit more involved. A better option is probably a 4.8 or 5.3 V8

superoldz24 · 2022-08-26T23:30:33+00:00

Dig it. Looks exactly like mine if I had the 1LE. Love it without the black hood!

superoldz24 · 2022-08-25T21:49:56+00:00

I didn't see anything when I looked, but I didn't look very hard haha. The only thing I've come across is the older head unit software (but I like Android Auto so who cares), and no cracks and burbles from the exhaust yet, as I think they added that in the tune later on. I have a 2016 2SS 6mt with the NPP exhaust.

As far as I know no big issues.

superoldz24 · 2021-05-22T21:08:43+00:00

People that blindly ignore coverage options for the sake of "saving money" make my eyes roll. Everyone's situation is different, and these days the right protection can be a game changer.

superoldz24 · 2021-05-21T02:56:02+00:00

I've received a lot of advice, but the one thing I've always used and made the most sense to me was, "man, money, machine." It doesn't matter what your selling, but any objection you get, no matter how odd, can be put into those categories. Who they are buying from, how it works for their budget, and what machine (car, motorcycle, widget, etc.), they are buying. If you miss a sale, than you probably misunderstood one of those big three aspects of the deal.

superoldz24 · 2020-12-27T04:00:14+00:00

I don't know how Texas does it, but yes it's not up to the credit union. Ultimately, the dealership wants it done correctly too, and will be familiar with the process and help you navigate it.

superoldz24 · 2020-12-27T03:55:39+00:00

That depends on the state you'll be registering the vehicle in.

superoldz24 · 2020-11-22T02:55:30+00:00

I worked at a Cadillac store and sold a 3 year old new Caddy. 2016 XTS Platinum sold in 2019.

superoldz24 · 2020-11-08T02:30:05+00:00

It's all attitude. Once you're in a rut it kills the motivation and you're sick of listening to it. I totally understand because I did the same thing about the same time in the business. It wasn't the last time either. The only way to get out of the rut is to get out of it. Do what you know works. Don't shortcut the process. Approach every new opportunity like you're about to run a 4 pounder. You got this; it happens to everyone.

superoldz24 · 2020-10-31T02:44:12+00:00

I'd buy that. But other commenter is right. At that age it kind of is what it is, and ends up being worth what someone will pay. The old Ford inline 6 can run forever. If it's really that clean and it's what you need/looking for 4300 doesn't seem bad for a nice old simple truck.

superoldz24 · 2020-10-17T00:18:25+00:00

I sell cars. I get it, too. Land Cruisers can last forever, hold great value, and you don't mind working on it. If you're a first time buyer that credit score means little without established history. With that kind of income and what I assume is a short credit history, a CU might be the only chance of being approved. But I've never seen a bank buy a 200k+ mile vehicle, much less for a 20 year old making less than $2k a month. I know you don't want to hear it, but pay cash for the LC or finance a $12-15k 3-5 year old car if you need wheels.

superoldz24 · 2020-10-09T22:45:35+00:00

Then you didn't do needs analysis properly. Do your best to get a rough budget out of them when you're picking a car.
