In February of 1986, The April edition of Car and Driver hit my mailbox and after reading the article on the new Grand National, I was out in the rain that night trying to find one. All I found were Demo's and they were all marked up a $1000 above the sticker price. It's fun to test drive a car in the rain with a salesman sitting beside you screaming. I did not want a Demo so I went home empty handed. The next day, I found a dealer with one on order and bought it for a $100 above dealer's. It came in just before the AutoWeek cover hit the stands.
I established this site to help those who wish to maintain their own cars rather than having to depend upon the nearest expert. It is not aimed at the well-experienced although some of the info listed here may help with torque specs, etc. I have presented a lot of data that comes straight from the shop manual along with some of my own experience over the years *2003-2025*
I hope this helps you. Steve Wood
