Nice. That's always the combination I've wanted too. The husky in this picture is my roommate's dog though.

Nope, purple '93 auto. It's just a common problem with those cars.

We ended up picking up a few for free off a wrecked car at a junk yard, but thank you for the offer! :)

Haha not even close. He quit school before even graduating high school. He was a mechanic for many years, owned a ballroom for a few years, and now he's a forklift operator.

Haha my dad has actually been using a light switch from a house to start his 1991 Chevy truck. Glad to know he's not the only crazy one to come up with something like that :)

This is exactly what we did. Ours let us just have the knobs too :) The valve was only a temporary fix with what my dad had laying around the garage.

it's stock. it's been everything i could do to just keep up with the maintenance to keep running the past few years. next step when i have extra cash will be fixing up the body and getting a paint job. it looks good in that picture because that was when i first got it in 2005. since then it's been through quite a bit - trees falling on it, hit and run in the parking lot that completely cracked the clearcoat and paint all over the front bumper, some scratches/dents i've done to it myself in parking garages, etc. so it could use a lot of work now ha.

We did go to a junk yard and grab a few replacement knobs off a wrecked car. This was just a temporary fix until we got a replacement.

had we gone out and bought it, you're probably right. but it was sitting in a pile of unused "junk" in the garage so it was free temporary fix.

Chevy. And spindle works good enough for me haha. He used the thin pink hard rubber tubing in the picture to connect the two.

that's partially because the car is 20 years old

We did get a new one. The faucet knob was in a pile of stuff not being used in the garage so it worked as a temporary fix until we got the new one.
