I have been watching all morning. I have see some nice cars sell super cheap. And I have seem and AD and TF truck both clear 30K-40K. Seems to be the AD and TF trucks are more in demand than cars at this time.

How long will this last? Or are trucks the new craze?

I've been out chasing a hose clamp for a fuel line this morning. Stripped the last one that size I had last night when I tried to tighten it up.

Update= after some coaxing I woke that engine up from a 3 year nap.

By all means don't go to the auto parts store to get more, you will have to get a 2 pack and they want $10. I went to Ace hardware and they a .79 each. Adds up quick when you need 20 of them.

Harbor "Fright" Chinese ones have been a nightmare for us --avoid them.

Ads have been in demand of late and that demand is growing. Every time a velocity car show features AD demand increases. Even wheeler dealers did a 54 for UK. The "marvin" build thread would have made a great show.
