I washed my car and started waxing. It was an overcast day but as i got most of the wax off it started raining and the wax wasnt coming off right. Its the Roof of my PT cruiser. When I go back outside after it stops how do I get the rest of it off? Is this going to be bad I used a classic paste wax.

Muscle car restoration:?

The Deacon asked:


Specifically, a 1969 or 1970 Dodge Charger.

Personally, I'd like to find myself one hidden away in some barn that I have to tow home and spend a summer on, but I was wondering if anyone had any general comparisons to offer between that approach and simply buying one in top condition.

Which would be more expensive, and by how much (on the average)?

No matter which way this goes, I'm more inclined to make one purchase at a time as I get this thing together by hand, but I'm still curious.

Hitzumaru asked:


I want to restore either a 67-79 Mustang or a Same Year Challenger or Coronet...(or any other classic or not so classic but powrful muscle car. I was wondering what a ballpark estimate would be if I did most of the work and had a mechanic or specialist do the extreme stuff. Also..I was wondering if the price to restore a car depended on the car itself...if so please give me an example of an easy and cheap to restore car. Thanks in advanced

Tuner / Muscle Car Vs. Sport Bike?

What is the deal with all these bogus youtube vids of mustangs, camaros, and evos beating Gixxer 1000s, and busas? In the case where it's a real race, it's obvious the rider is a rookie and doesn't know WTF he is doing. I don't care what kind of turbo supercharger you got, beating any 1000+CC sport bike with a half decent rider is not happening.
A Talon? R U serious? If you listen, the bike is in low RPMs. The guys shifting was horrible. Just listen to the sound of the bike as it passes the camera, he's at like 4 or 5K RPM. Either he is in on the charades or he doesn't know how to race. Poor example!
