I think you'll find that white is just a bit faster than any other color!

My guess is the parking brake is the first hurdle. We are here to help!

No, no no. It will be how do I fix the locks. No, not that, it will be the door latches. Damn it, it's the headlights not lowering or raising. Wait, it's the speedo lights not working. The clock, that's it. The clock is not working. Wait...

All wrong!
First questions will be,
How can I tell if I have the original air in the spare tire and if I do how much will it add to the value.
Welcome to the forum.
