    Is it possible to get a new title for your car in the US?

    Today I worked on the Bronco. I almost finished replacing the brake calipers, I need to take the left one off again since a brake pad shim came off and then I need to bleed the brakes again. It is almost ready for me to get my learners permit and start driving it!

    Installed new brake discs/pads on my car. The old ones were around 18 years old.

    That Lumina looks like it has sat in mud for most of its life. I mean, it has moss growing on it ;)
    Looks worse than my 1984 lawnmower that's never even been covered in a rain storm. lol

    or ether of my vehicles, the bronco was last on the road in 2014, and my firebird was sitting next to my garage for over a decade before I washed it and started doing bodywork(I think that was last on the road somewhere around 2000 since it has a 2002 emissions sticker)

    Sat for 4 years, took me an hour or so to get that crud off, I have yet to evict the spiders from the engine bay. (The ones that weren't toasted when it was at operating temp) Runs rather smooth on 4 year old gas lmao.

    same with the bronco, it has sat for an unknown amount of time and needs a bath but it runs great and starts first crank

    Finally found out why my car has been making loud banging noises when going over speed bumps/potholes. The culprit was a screwdriver which was left under the hood when the car was being serviced at a local garage about two months ago.
