Resurrecting an old thread. Recent transplant to Albemarle County /N Charlottesville. A couple old car guys in the neighborhood.
Ha!

Looking for non-flammable angel hair for a car we're showing soon. Any ideas?
You need to mention exactly where you are. To find a respected shop, sometimes they just come to you. I bought my car from a guy who now has a...
I've got two of the Johnny Ace Slots of Doom posters! I think the only time I buy fresh tires for my cars is for Slots of Doom. I'll do my best to...

Don, We use Advance & they do great work. We just like to have a local place if we need.
We're not afraid to pay a bit extra for quality. It ends up being cheaper than getting crap fixed... Thanks!

I will bring my famous brownies, so I may have to bring something to wash them down... By the way, I just finished salting the walkway, so...
