Bugeye Sprite wiper woes

by

Sprites have wiper assemblies which are quite crude. The one-speed motors wipe slowly at best, and if you think you’ll drive in the rain, you’ll do better with Rain-X or a similar coating on your screen. Wipers help, but not much, even under the best of circumstances. Fortunately, these are largely fair weather cars, so the wipers are seldom used. You do want to make sure your wipers don’t do any damage to your car, however, so it’s important to be familiar with the system.

Whats a Tonto, Kemosahbee?

by

A tonneau is a cover for your Sportscar cockpit, and it is a very important component every open roadster owner should have. Here’s a video all about why they matter. We sell nice ones that are stretchier and that are more likely to fit. Just keep in mind that when you buy one, the fittings are not installed, so your tonneau has to be properly fit to your car, and that is often best done by an auto or marine cover professional to get the best fit.

Size matters

A Bugeye is an excellent yardstick for the dexterity of an aging community. What’s your personal Bugeye-Access Index number (BAI)? This empirical measurement is often measured with a grunt-o-meter.

The quest to find a great Bugeye, online.

by

Bring a Trailer is an amazing phenomenon that moved about $900 million of classic cars and stuff in 2021. There are lots of new competitors wanting a piece of that action, so we will be seeing even more online auctions in the future. And like any modern online universe, it comes with some unique challenges. All the information on a typical BaT auction is largely crowd-sourced, so the discussion about each car is generally directed by the audience and that audience is often striving for credibility.

Thus posters often cite their memories, history, blood, sweat and tears, etc. to gain a toehold in the group discussion. Occasionally, viewers chime in with praise for the seller, EG, “I have seen every car this seller built and they were all excellent.” Occasionally, you’ll hear from folks who have gone to inspect the car, so you’ll see in the comments, “I’ve been to see this car and it’s everything it was represented to be, and looks even better in person.”
