ROYAL PURPLE PERFORMANCE: THE 98 PRO STOCK RACE CAR Lauryn “Hotwheels” Pontiac-Vernancio They say that purple symbolizes royalty and rarity, so much so that it was originally banned from others than that of the elite centuries ago. There were no discrepancies when perfecting the blended color that would stand out, as it was quite the aesthetically desired ensemble. It was not a difficult concept to imagine something that could be engineered just as great and would catch the eye other than a sleekly designed Pro Stock race car which could potentially raise a checkered flag past the eyes of fellow competitors. Rolling into 2016 at the legendary Seekonk Speedway, this ride surely won’t be missed with its flashy detailing and the well seasoned driver Rey Lovelace. He’ll be holding power behind Tom Scully Jr.’s Pro Stock base with a slightly new twist. This distinguished automobile revs up a Ford 604 crate engine and rolls off with a DB (Dave Bergman) Fabrications Chassis based out of Baltic, Connecticut. It will also easily spin a 12 second lap time within the blink of an eye. In 2015 it held second in total points and could possibly be an easy qualifier for this upcoming 2016 Championship.

THE MUSIC MA
DJ Shawn Sanga’s Dark Shadow Grey COBRA Convertible ED YESSAIAN Almost every time a Mustang is sold, it’s only a matter of time before it is replaced by something else, usually another Mustang. There’s plenty of reasons why we buy and sell cars, sometimes for financial reasons, sometimes for a change of scenery, or sometimes just because we come across a car that we have secretly admired for a really long time. And that was the case for Shawn
Sanga, who had one of the nicest Fox Body Mustangs around. Many of us stood in complete disbelief as it was hauled off to a new owner, but it wasn’t long after that when a completely different type of Mustang arrived to replace the Fox Body. It was going to take a seriously impressive car for a lot of people to get over him selling the Fox, but of course within the Mustang crowds, a Supercharged 2003 SVT COBRA is an acceptable alternative. Right out of the box the 2003-04 SVT COBRA is a supercharged masterpiece. With a comically underrated 390 horsepower, it takes very little to

crank the cars output past 500hp, as well as bump up the torque to some neck snapping numbers. There are all kinds of ways to get power out of these cars, but Shawn chose a proven set of modifications that would be safe and reliable, but also allow him to build off in the future. The major component in his power game is a Stegmiere Stage 6 ported Eaton blower, which is actually scheduled to be upgraded again very soon. Both blower pulleys have been upgraded with a 2.76 upper and a 2# LOWER. This is good for over 16lbs of boost on a conservative tune. An Accufab plenum and throttle body hangs from there and a JLT Ram Air intake finishes off the breathing chores. With this new setup, the COBRA was going to be a little thirstier, so 53# injectors and a Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump helped quench that need. After some tuning at Performance Dyno in Loudon, NH, the final numbers were an impressive 522rwhp and 514ft/lbs of torque from a relatively simple setup. From there it was on to the driveline modifications, to help harness the power. A stock T56 transmission is more than capable of surviving the power of the 03-04 COBRA and although, eventually there are upgrades planned to the stock transmission, for now an MGW shifter, McLeod RXT twin disc clutch, and Liberty 26 Spline input shaft seem to hold it all together at this power level. Further down the driveline are a Billetflow diff brace and a Full Tilt Boogie Racing IRS kit. This is an absolute must have for these cars and Motorhead was lucky enough to receive a Full Tilt kit a couple years ago for testing on Kevin Houle’s 04 COBRA. This kit replaces all the weak or deteriorated factory bushings, resulting in a much more predictable ride as well as eliminating a great deal of the wheel hop that these cars are known for. In addition to the Full Tilt Kit, Shawn’s car also received some much
needed suspension and brake upgrades. Maximum Motorsports supplied full length subframe connectors and caster/camber plates, while Energy Suspension’s Urethane rack bushings improved the steering response. An Eibach Pro-Kit dropped the COBRA to a menacing stance and Baer brakes hid at all four corners. Also perched at all four corners is an absolutely stunning set of True Forged Chicane wheels that carry a whopping 335 size tire in the rear and a matching set of Toyo Proxes in the front. A quick walk around this car certainly shows you how well cared for and immaculate it is. That in itself makes the car one of the nicest I have seen, but all of sudden Shawn turned the key and WOW, does this car sound incredible!! With a UPR off-road X-Pipe and Magnaflow mufflers the COBRA has just enough growl at idle to let you know it means business, but it isn’t overdone like some of the exhaust systems we’ve seen and heard. Stomping on the gas, the sound is a bit more ferocious, letting people know that that should promptly move over. And as Shawn blows by you, just under the sound of the exhaust, you can actually catch the tunes from a full custom audio system, which is still under construction, but right now consists of an Alpine DVD/Navigation head unit and all the right components to make this DJ spin the tunes with pride. In addition to finishing the stereo setup, Shawn’s plans for the winter were to upgrade the supercharger and ignore ED Yessaian who keeps saying to add a rollcage. Of course I’ll keep working on that little detail!! CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

There’s really no other felling like taking delivery of your first Mustang or Muscle Car, especially when you’re in your early teenage years. The first time you lay eyes on that aggressive stance, the first smell of the leather interior, the first feeling of that rumble that happens after your first turn of the key. Every one of us can recall what seemed like the greatest day of our life when we got behind the wheel of our very own piece of American History. For Jason Pjojian of Cranston RI, that amazing sense of ownership and pride came to reality this past summer when he got his hands on his immaculate 1997 SVT COBRA.

Boneyard Barbeque & Saloon
Have you ever watched those televised shows where they have live barbeque cook-offs? Forget Kansas City or the Texan fire, there is something local that can throw your taste buds for a loop! We took a trip to the new Boneyard Barbeque & Saloon in Warwick, Rhode Island to see how their dishes would compare to those served up in the dangerous down and southwest. Our first impression upon arrival was surely mistaken. Set on the main road and with its history as a previous biker bar, we assumed that this would
in-house. Next came the kids’ favorite, “Mac Balls” or Macaroni and Cheese balls wrapped in Japanese style bread crumbs which were drizzled with the Black and Gold Sauce. It was an interesting and modern pop to a classic original. After this we were able to try their famous ribs, which are dry rubbed and kept marinated for two days, then slowly smoked for four hours until they are fall off-of-the bone tender. We were also pleased to experience a pulled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries coated waffle house sauce, and their famous giant wings (coated in House Sauce) as well as juicy chicken tenders smothered in Sinful Apple BBQ sauce.
Needless to say after all of these delightful endeavors that we had experienced, our stomachs were more than full and satisfied. After speaking with Dean, we shared his vision of summer cruise nights during peak season. He plans on doing individual get-togethers for Mustangs, Corvettes, and even Jeepsters all throughout the summer. We hope to join him in planning and spreading the word to not only view some classics, but also to indulge in his great barbeque offerings. Boneyard Barbeque & Saloon is located at 2247 West Shore Road in Warwick, Rhode Island and they are open Sunday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 a.m. Please call 401-736-0404 for reservations and visit their website at www.boneyardbarbeque.com. have the same bar atmosphere as trips visited before. We were definitely proven wrong! Inside was a comfortable family restaurant, with the bar gracefully setting along the backside. I was completely comfortable bringing in my seven month old daughter as the waitress was more than happy to accommodate us with a high chair. License plates and race car décor were displayed making the automotive enthusiast more than pleasantly cozy while kicking back with a soft beverage or beer. The owner Dean was more than happy to greet us and offer samplings of food in which he would delightfully cook himself. His partner-in-crime and fellow business associate, Carnig was not available at the time but we do hope to see him on our next visit. First on the menu were their homemade chips served with eight different sauces to try. The favorite contenders were the “Black and Gold”, “Sinful Apple BBQ”, and “Boneyard Paradise”. If you browse their online menu it lists at least 60 different types of sauces, most of them made CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

READERS RIDES
GREG’S 1930 MODEL A TRUCK JIM WEICHERDING
gines last year. It runs like a top!
We don’t often get to go all the way back to the birth of the automobile in this country for a READERS RIDES feature article, but we can do that with this 1930 Model A.
An “Old School” car guy, who has spent his entire adult life working on these types of vintage vehicles from Ware, Massachusetts, installed the engine and made certain that the engine application was period correct and was exactly the way it was the day it rolled off the assembly line in Detroit, Michigan. That assembly line was all manpower back in the early days at the Ford Motor Company and quality craftsmanship was par for the course with Henry Ford and his crew.
Greg Benoit, of Massachusetts, purchased this vintage ride fully restored from a restoration specialist located in Connecticut and only made some modifications to bring it to the vehicle’s current condition. This Model A truck came equipped with a flat head four cylinder engine, but the engine that now rests in the motor compartment is actually a built flat head four cylinder engine that was completely refurbished at a New York based speed shop that deals specifically with these types of en-
Since the engine was installed and needed a couple minor fixes to get to completion, a new stainless steel bumper was installed and some new wooden slats were added to the bed of this beautiful 1930 Model A Truck. When Greg isn’t out cruising in his fully restored vintage truck, it is on display at Linder’s Auto located in Worcester, Massachusetts for everyone to see and admire for themselves. Personally, I love vintage and nostalgia automobiles and this one is for anyone else who loves this

CIDADE LANDSCAPING
Drive & Dine
MONTHLY EATERY:
By Lauryn “Hotwheels” Pontiac-Vernancio
Thank goodness for great classic food and cruise nights! As a car fanatic, you always have a game plan and usually process your day’s plans ahead of time and down to detail. One of the most vital things you can do is put food (which is your fuel) into your body. We stopped at the Luxe Burger Bar in downtown Providence last week to see what they had in store that would make any enthusiast’s gears spin. We met with Michael who is the “Wolf of Luxe Burger” and a well-rounded manager who pleasantly offered us his best sellers on the menu. We started with “Frickles” or fried pickles that were served with a Sriracha sauce and Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls served with a side of Chipotle Ketchup. While the Sriracha has always been spicy to me, I thoroughly enjoyed the Egg Rolls as they hit the palate with a prompt crisp and delicious taste of melt in your mouth provolone cheese meshed with peppers and onions that collided with perfectly cooked shaved steak that was out of this world. Being health conscious, I took the liberty of ordering the Vegan Veggie Burger with Cheddar Cheese and Mushrooms. This and many other burgers are available in their BOB or Build Your Own Burger section in addition to several options named as their most ordered trademarks. When the burgers were introduced, they came side by side with their signature Beer Battered Onion Rings and Tangy Honey Mustard sauce. Michael was also nice enough to include a sampling of their very own Hickory Smoked Bacon Macaroni and Cheese as well as a delicious Gluten Free version which was simple yet tastier than the original. Needless to say, we were stuffed well before we could finish our meals and took at least half of our burgers to go. If you’re looking for a prime place that has great spin offs to American Classics, this would be the restaurant to go to. It’s easy to order, their staff has astounding service and we never had to ask for refills as our waitress was always available without a single hand movement. What sets this place apart is their options for those that have food allergies as that was the first question asked and they have a Gluten Free version of most dishes as well as leaner options for those looking to stay fit. Pets are also welcome during the summer months on the outside patio to dine with you. If you head in that direction, please make sure to commend Michael and his staff for a great meal and wonderful service.
Luxe Burger Bar is located at 5 Memorial Boulevard in Providence, Rhode Island and their hours are Sunday through Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. or Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. You may call them at 401-621-5893 to make reservations or visit their website at www.luxeburgerbar.com for menu options.

LOWER LEVEL CUSTOMS puts on car shows and events a few times a year for good causes and charities that includes a bowling event held in December that benefits Toys For Tots. They raised money and accepted toys from their event this past Christmas season and plenty of kids had a happy Christmas morning because of their efforts.

New York State for larger shows and events. You can find them attending many local car shows around New England as well as many local cruise nights in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts during the cruising season each year since their inception. LOWER LEVEL CUSTOMS is a family oriented car and truck club and pride themselves on hosting kid friendly car shows, cruise nights and events wherever they meet and show off their lowered rides. Members consider themselves more like a family rather than a car and truck club. Their club
members are downto-earth and consider a variety of charities for their event and car show causes each year. Yes, I see the irony in writing that their members are “Down-to-Earth” and they love lowered vehicles and call themselves LOWER LEVEL CUSTOMS.

license. Yes the ignorance of youth!
It all started in the summer of 1978. Some of my friends and I were able to get a summer job at a small campground. We would ride our bikes over to help clean up and at the end of the week the owner would come by and settle up. One week the owner couldn’t make it, so her son stopped in. That was the first time I saw it. Four exhaust pipes, two hood scoops and a big chrome gas cap! Til then I had no interest in cars. I was more interested in dirt bikes and “do all girls have cooties”? Maybe it had something to do with the fact that my dad had a Delta 88 and my mom had a Ford Ltd. But this was all about to change. I started looking at car magazines, learning about Richard Petty, hemi engines, Daytona 500 and ¼ mile drag racing. Years later in high school, a friend told me about a car for sale, a Challenger that needed some work. So I got the owner’s number and called him when I got home from school that day. When we pulled in his driveway there it was, a 1970 Challenger RT ice blue, the same car I saw years ago! I don’t remember how much money I had but it was over the $500 asking price. I didn’t haggle at all. Before my brother could say a word I was counting out the money. He took off his license plate, handed me the keys and off I went. No plate, no insurance or driver’s 26| Motorhead Magazine - February 2016

First stop, a friend of mine was attending Diamond Tech School so he fixed the rust and shot it in black primer. Since then it’s been light blue, black, dark blue, medium blue and now back to the original ice blue. Three 340 engines, countless transmissions, dozens of rims and tires, from 8 tracks to cassettes and now CD’s- the years were rolling by. In 2006, my wife gifted
me a “Restoration Guide” book where you can decode your VIN number or fender tag. There I found E63 code 383 4 barrel! I was beside myself-wrong engine! Well that was the last straw-it was time for a makeover. When handing over the keys of a car you’ve had for 35 years, the most important question isn’t “how “or “when”, it’s “who”. So I started talking to people, telling my tale and more often than not, John Conti was the man I needed to talk to. Being a reader of Motorhead magazine I was always impressed with the attention to detail in his articles. So I met with John and his team and started with the front end. A week or so later I stopped by John’s shop to see the whole front suspension and K frame was removed. The two frame rails and engine was all that was left. As John was explaining what needed to be done I could see this wasn’t work to them, it was who he and his team are. They truly love what they do. After that I was sure this was the right shop for the job.
enger
Once the front end was done it was onto the engine swap. I was looking for something more than 335 HP factory rebuilt, and they did not disappoint. They found a donor car for the 383 engine block and transmission. The block was decked and bored .030 over for power forged pistons and molly rings, spinning a MOPAR forged crank. A custom hydraulic camshaft was ground to work with the compression and cylinder heads, torque converter, gear ratio and tire diameter. Harland Sharp rocker shaft assemblies, heavy duty pushrods and special valve springs were installed to provide a rigid valve train. Up top is a 750 Edelbrock feeding through a victor intake and matching Edelbrock cylinder heads. Expelling the gas via Mopar headers into 3 inch stainless steel mandrel bent tubing. Transferring the power to the rear is a completely Conti rebuilt 727 to a Mancini Racing rear differential. Trust me when I say this car is fun to drive and the car sounds incredible. Next was the paint shop. Only one choice here-Carl’s Collision, family owned and operated with a reputation for luxury and exotic paint work. With one of the top painters in New England, Adrian, overseeing prep and paint and Lee, keeping things on track. What is just over 400 hours of body shop and 20 hours in the paint booth to lay down 5 coats of EB3 Ice Blue irid metallic, topped with 3 coats of clear, add in the back Black Bumble Bee strip and a roof from Frank’s Auto Top. Some 38 years later I can walk into the garage smiling, feeling like a 13 year old kid again. Thanks to all that made that happen. CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

LESS BOOST?
DAVE McCLAIN
Everyone I know with a supercharged or turbocharged car seem to be on a never ending quest for more boost. The typical Motorhead is usually looking to enhance their daily driver. These builds usually consist of stock motors with a supercharger or turbocharger kit bolted on. Depending on compression ratio most builds can only really safely handle between 6-9 pounds of boost. Boost is really only a measure of un-used air building up pressure in the intake manifold. The more efficient the motor is the less boost pressure will be present. Higher flowing cylinder heads, wilder camshafts, and more free flowing exhaust systems can reduce boost pressure without sacrificing horsepower or torque. A while back, I added a Whipple supercharger to my Camaro SS. Last year, I lowered the compression from 10.4 to 10.0 to 1, installed a custom VVT cam camshaft and a set of CNC ported cylinder heads. Since all the things I did reduced boost pressure, I purchased a 3.750 pulley for my Whipple supercharger. The 3.750 pulley is two steps smaller than the stock 4.00 pulley and will add about 2 additional pounds of boost on a stock engine. I still had a set of 1 ¾ shorty headers, basically a stock exhaust system, and factory catalytic converters. I was running around 11.5-12 pounds of boost pressure with this set up at 6800 rpm. I decided to see what was better, a little less boost and a little more timing or more boost and less timing. This experiment is based on 93 Octane pump gas; race gas, E85, or methanol would probably have different results. Since, I like
to build street cars, I decided to stick with readily available 93 Octane. The original build on 93 Octane 3.750 pulley yielded a best 575HP and 518TQ with 15 degrees of timing at wide open throttle. If I gave the car a half degree more timing, it would usually produce a slight amount of knock retard. Any level
of knock with stock components will eventually result in broken components or a blown engine. Since I was so close to the edge, I decided to pull a little boost out of the car and installed a slightly bigger 3.875 pulley. I dropped about one pound of boost by 6800rpm. It allowed me to produce a best of 576HP and 510TQ, with slightly more timing at wide open throttle. I was able to get 16.5 degrees of timing without any knock retard, but it didn’t produce any more HP than 16 degrees of timing. The 3.875 pulley was able to make the same HP and slightly less TQ as the 3.750 pulley and has a ½ of a degree safety margin. 17 Degrees was a little too much. 16 and 16.5 degrees made the same power, but for a street car 16 degrees is the best compromise based on 93 Octane. I know a lot of gear heads will be scratching their heads on this, but you have to look at what boost pressure really is. Higher boost produces more heat, the hotter the air charge is; the less power can be made before engine knock will occur. Since I minimized the boost, it did require me to adjust the timing curve at wide open throttle from 1800 – 7000 rpm. My 6.2 Liter L99 liked the additional timing and didn’t give up any performance. Boost isn’t a bad thing in any way, but you really have to look at the overall package you are building. A set of Long Tube Headers without catalytic converters would really free up the exhaust on my car and make it a little more efficient. A quality Methanol injection kit would also be able produce more power and keep the car safer at higher boost levels.

past months of February and March, but is it a given to keep it year round? Unleaded ethanol is extremely hydroscopic and will absorb water just from vapor within the air. Because ethanol will mix with any water inside of gasoline and cause a separation meaning that one portion of your fuel will be gasoline and the other an ethanol and water mix. This separation can cause issues in starting, idling, running, power, and could potentially damage internal engine parts by reducing lubrication. For gasoline that may be stored for a few month’s time you may want to make sure that you purchase an airtight container and add a fuel stabilizer to prevent water absorption. Lastly, the thing you should be scanning for is lubrication products. Oxidation can occur in all oils that are in contact with air, including stored lubricants. The base oil and additive combination will affect the rate of oxidation and the presence of thickener in the grease can increase the degradation rate. Increasing the temperature by which the lubricant is stored can double this oxidation rate as well, hence why there are temperature guides on the sides on grease tubs. To be on the safe side, the maximum recommended storage time for lithium greases and lubricating oils is a year, while calcium complex greases are weighed in at a steady six months. Check the manufactures’ labels on your products for more specifics. With this knowledge in mind, we hope this makes it easier for you Motorheads to determine what products you can actually keep until you get your rides ready for the spring!

all of the things I listed above would make the car more of a race car as opposed to a street car. Don’t get me wrong, boost is a wonderful thing! Especially during the winter, it seems like I’m driving a totally different car. Extreme cold weather usually adds a pound or two depending on your set up. The goal was to build a reliable street car without any reliability issues. Precision Dyno is a completely independent dyno testing facility. We offer Custom Cams, Ported Cylinder Heads, Supercharger & Turbocharger installation packages for GM LSX powered vehicles. We specialize in GM tuning with EFILive tuning software. If you want your ride independently tested give us a call at 401-996-2166.

12 VOLT NEWS Auto Backup Cameras
GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. A Custom Car Stereo Center
An auto backup camera is a special kind of video camera that is manufactured specifically for use at the rear of a vehicle to assist with backing up. These cameras are also known as rear view cameras or reversing cameras. The driver on a dash-mounted monitor displays the image that the camera captures for viewing. An auto backup camera is distinctly different than other types of cameras because the image is flipped horizontally so the output that is viewed is a mirror image of what is being captured. This is critical because the driver of the vehicle and the camera would face opposite directions and the cameras left would be the drivers right and vice versa. The mirrored image captured by the camera makes the orientation of the monitor’s display consistent with the image displayed by the vehicle’s mirrors. An auto backup camera normally features a wide angle lens. While this type of lens lessens the cameras ability to capture distant objects, it allows it to view a horizontal line, completely
uninterrupted, from one corner to corner of the rear of the vehicle. In order to view obstacles and the position of docks or walls, the lens is typically pointed downward rather than straight back. An auto backup camera is perfect for use on vehicles such as motor homes or those pulling trailers. These cameras are also commonly used in an SUV that has decreased visibility because of blind spots that are larger than a typical car. Basically, they can be used when driving any vehicle to enhance security and safety. They easily detect children’s toys or other hazards that may be behind a vehicle. These types of hazards are not seen in a rear view mirror unless they are a fair distance away from the vehicle. More and more automobile manufacturers are offering the auto backup camera as an optional factory accessory on most sport utility vehicles and standard passenger trucks. However, these packages are often expensive and many drivers choose to add this after-market accessory themselves. With the increase in popularity of in-dash GPS navigation systems and DVD players, many safety conscious drivers are taking advantage of
the LCD display that these systems require and using it to monitor what’s behind their vehicle. An auto backup camera may prevent an accident that could result in injury and an increase in your insurance premiums. The technology is constantly improving, making it possible for manufacturers to offer these cameras at prices that the general public can afford. With a little bit of research, a backup camera can be purchased for about $100.00 -$300.00 depending on the system purchased. You shouldn’t have any difficulty finding a quality system, as there are numerous camera systems available through manufacturers which A Custom Car Stereo Center can provide and install in your vehicle. With the availability of the auto backup camera, there is no reason to worry about what may be behind your vehicle. As soon as you put your car in reverse, the camera is activated, providing you with a clear picture of what’s behind you and putting your mind at ease to safely back up. Schedule an appointment to have your Back-up Camera installed at A Custom Car Stereo Center 401-946-0010.

Washed Out Wheels: The Real Cleaning Deal
Lauryn “Hotwheels” Pontiac-Vernancio Does road salt and winter slush have you down? Are your chrome wheels starting to chip thanks to the New England weather? It’s a general pain and a continuous task to have flawless wheels throughout the winter season which is why we set together a panel of testing the waters on some of our favorite wheel cleaners. We took out the Eagle One, Meguiar’s, Black Magic, Mothers, and Amor All and put them to the extremes! Upon spraying them on some summer starved wheels and not using a brush, we didn’t get some great results although grime did drip off of the
first layer of salt scum with the brands of Eagle One, Mothers, and the Meguiar’s. Black Magic and Armor All held back their power and just seemed to stay put. When used with a vigorous brushing it seemed that Eagle One and Mothers showed to be the best contenders of the competition by removing the layers of Mr. Winter Frost very easily. Meguiar’s did fall slightly behind them in a shortcoming while Armor All and then Black Magic not being
too far behind. The results? Flawless wheels that you would almost eat off of but then with any effort comes some sort of a positive result. The most preferred brand with the maximum amount of choices for wheel cleaners that we observed were in fact Meguiar’s who boasted vibrant colors with their labeled “Hot Rims”, NXT, and DUB lines that made the product fun to use. Next recommended for various choices were Eagle One for the casual consumer who likes a job well done with a cleaner and conscientious
labeling. Thanks to Mother Nature, we have barely escaped the ultra wintry months, yet this mild one has left us with a chance to experience a dose of fun with ever changing and new cleaning products.
With the efforts of our team, we discovered what would be the easiest and more efficient to keep your wheels clean and protected throughout the worst conditions. We wonder what products you might use to get your car ready for the car show season! CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

When perusing through your stash of goods on top off your toolbox and shelves, you might want to keep one basic question in mind. “How long have I had this?” One of the most prominent contaminants that will unfold right before your eyes which can be a dreadful harm to your vehicle is hydroscopic fluids. What does hydroscopic mean? Hydroscopic describes something that will readily take up and retain moisture. A common hydroscopic fluid that would cause quite a conundrum is brake fluid. When brake fluid absorbs moisture, the boiling point of the fluid becomes lower and will cause the fluid to compress less. Moisture within your braking system will give the fluid the ability to limit your braking power, and in turn rust out your brake lines and all necessary hardware and components. Being a New Englander during the winter months will accelerate your fluid’s water-sucking habits and this is why it HOUSE WASHING is discourage to keep larger containers on your garage shelf.

Tri-State Cruisers Christmas Cruise WRITTEN BY “ETCH”
winter cruise event a week before Christmas. Dick Salvas, the clubs president and the crew started calling everyone they could think of that might want to bring out their show vehicle for this last minute venue. I was contacted by my buddy Larry the day before Dick called me and I was happy to attend this unusual timed car and truck show.
When you think about winter and Christmas in New England what is the last thing you would ever think of; A Cruise Event? Well, that is exactly what happened in Pomfret, Connecticut on December 13th, 2015.
One of the best reasons to attend this impromptu cruise event was due to the fact that it was for
The Tri-State Cruisers of Connecticut hosted a
charity. The Christmas Cruise raised money for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp totaling nearly $500 for a single day. The camp is a favorite summer retreat for kids dealing with terminal cancers in Connecticut. The camp was founded by Paul Newman and has been helping kids have fun every summer for years.

Tri-State Cruisers Christmas Cruise CONTINUED FROM PAGE 49
Tri-State Cruisers event also helped generate canned goods and non-perishables for the Pomfret, Connecticut Food Pantry. Hundreds of these items were brought to the organization to help feed the poor and struggling during the holiday season after the cruise event. It was easy to raise so much money and obtain so many can goods because nearly 300 show vehicles attended this
rare event in the middle of December. Not an easy task to pull off at the last minute but it goes to show you how much we car and truck guys love any opportunity to attend a cruise event and help charitable causes at the same time. The weather was overcast and chilly but nobody complained. Even Santa Claus showed up on his Harley Davidson and passed out my Buckleupallofus Coloring Posters and Stickers to all of the kids. You can’t be Santa and not have anything to pass out to the kids so he was very happy to see me there for this Christmas Cruise.
