No ones getting mine. If I'm gone before then I'll be buried in it.

Well I figured out why all of my front right lights werent working. Besides 2 of the 3 bulbs being blown, all the connectors were corroded to death. I didnt get any pictures but I did do a before and after on one of the bulbs. I soaked every connector in CLR and that stuff boiled the corrosion off. Worked great! Here is the before and after. I let it soak for about 30 min and wiped it off with a paper towel. No scrubbing or anything.

Being old and not having a life is what makes that possible. LOL. When I was young and used to ski a lot I put about 35K on my primary 2 vehicles that I used for skiing. A Blazer, when the weather was bad, and a Cutlass Supreme when the weather was better. We did ski till June at Killington that year. Not to mention the miles I put on the other 4, think I had that many at that time, for every thing else.

Spend probably a good hour vacuuming it out from the p.o.. Bent the front quarter panels back into place so the doors won't rub, beat out a few dents in the doors and reattached the drivers door exterior handle latch. Also started making a fix-it list.
