Terrain Foot Well Lights Part 2

Remove Plate

The foot wells on my 2012 Terrain did not have lights from the factory.  While looking on Terrain Forum, I found out the wiring is already in place for the lights.  All you need to do is install them.  The passenger side is the easiest one to do.  It doesn’t require more than a knife or scissors to cut …

In 2003, we traded our 99 Grand Prix for a off lease 2002 Trailblazer.  We knew that we wanted an SUV at the time.  We looked at the Chevrolet Tahoes, but my wife didn’t like driving my truck because of size, and felt the Tahoe would be harder to drive, and park than my truck.  The Chevrolet …

Miata Car Clubs.

I took this picture last weekend at the pumkin patch. I don’t think you can carry very many pumpkins home in a Miata, but it was a beautiful day for riding with the top down.  I have ran into a couple of diffrent Miata Clubs.  They are a great fun loving bunch.  If I owned one, …

My new parts car.

I am working on restoring my wife’s 65 Corvair Coupe.  The car had on 25,000 miles, but the car was torn down to it bones.  I need a bunch of parts and end up buying this parts car. I am not sure what the bucket seats came out of.  I kind of like them. A …
