I'm sure some of you have heard about the unexpected death of Robin Williams, apparently by suicide.
Depression is a TERRIBLE thing to have to deal with, believe me, I KNOW!
In the end, the Genie couldn't save himself. So sad.

Re: 1965 Corsa Coupe Turbo — $39,500 — Worth It?
The best comment I ever heard about the "Is it worth it?" question was this; "Something is worth EXACTLY what someone else is willing to pay you for it. Maybe not the first person to make you an offer, but the eventual buyer."

Re: Knocking after 30 minutes of driving
Hate to say this, but it sounds like something has come apart inside the engine, like a rod or bearings!
One question...is it a Knock like metal physically hitting something, or the Jingling sound from Pre-ignition?

Re: is the corvair a good everyday car?
I would have no problem using mine every day if I was more convenient to paved roads. I just don't like running mine on the gravel too much.
Of course, it's going to be a 50 year old car....

Re: Parking Brake
My gearhead neighbor just traced out the parking brake cable, and discovered that it's the pulley on the steering column that has come apart.
Have a new one on order from Clark's, so maybe it won't be major surgery to get it fixed!

Re: Glove Box Lock
If even graphite powder won't help, perhaps it's a replacement lock that neither key will work.

Re: Parking Brake
A Quick Question...are the parking brake cable pulleys metal, or plastic? I have to get some safe ramps to get the car up in the air a bit before I tackle the parking brake repair. Just wondering what the chances are that one of the pulleys gave out, or is it more likely the cable stretched enough t...

Re: Parking Brake
Looks like it's time for a new Parking brake cable. I need to take off the tunnel cover and the toe plate cover to check the pulleys, but the threaded rod on the rear end of the cable seems to be so bunged up that we can't even get any adjustment on it.

I just released the handle and I got the car home with no problem, and I just park in gear, but any help on i...
