I really hate to drive There are so many idiot soccer moms in their huge suvs on their cell phones trying to run you over,I have my little tank (Volvo 240)so I'm not too afraid of them,I learned to drive in a VW bug,and in those days thought that was a pretty safe car since it was all metal...

Can't complain one bit about this washer, I wanted a match to my center dial maytag dryer,I did find one but was living in a third floor condo and was afraid of it leaking, so I decided to buy a new washer, I had picked out one at conn's,then I happened to find this one just like it that someone...

was at Hom* depot the other day and was looking at the maytag washers, just curious to see what they still had, with the whirlpool merge thing, they had a commercial machine with a stainless tub for about 450.00 "dependable care" and a 350.00 "dependable care" for 350.00 with a plastic tub,but...

Thanks spats, Your convertible is very nice too, I discovered Meguiars car cleaner wax works very well on plastic,with a little rubbing it took all the scuff marks off my hoover and gave it a nice shine.

I just love this decade 80, It represents the last of the convertibles, I know its plastic but the motor is so powerful,when I first got it It had a type C bag on it and I kept looking at the writing on the outer bag and it said quick and clean bag change, when I changed the bag I discovered...
