COAL: We Managed To Buy The One Unreliable Honda Civic
Posted on March 2, 2014 | 79 CommentsAfter we sold the reasonably unreliable Bronco II, we drove my classic Z28 for a few months. This included moving all our belongings between cities (minus a couch) in said […] -
COAL: 1988 Ford Bronco II – The Busting Bronco
Posted on February 23, 2014 | 25 CommentsThe first big purchase as a couple can be a bit of a gamble. Differing expectations, desires and budgets are all potential conflict points. Best of luck if you are […] -
COAL: 1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 – My Second First Car
