    You’re doing this wrong. You buy color matching duct tape and that is the permanent fix!

    Oh no. Glues and adhesives with no caps. :rofl:

    Put the cap back on it quick. If your luck is like mine, you’ll knock the bottle over and have it everywhere.

    I think my 2010 DC OR isn’t quite at 164k yet. Although I mostly drive a Prius so the truck might get 5k miles a year. Bought the truck in 2019 with 148k on it.

    This is the same 1980 Ford Mustang that I sent pictures of to @shakerhood a couple weeks ago, probably less than an hour before I got pulled over by an NJ State Trooper for "failure to maintain lane...

    Fuck New Jersey. :luvya:

    Anyway, this Mustang is unique because it's got half the cylinders that most Mustangs have (2.3L 4-banger). It also has an upgraded two-two paintjob, an automatic transmission, A/C, and an AM/FM radio; I'm thinking that it was a special order back in the day...

    I've always been more of a GM guy a Ford guy, but I have found a few underappreciated FoMoCo survivors in the last month or so. This is a 1995 Ford Taurus GL wagon...
