Spare tire for '89 2.8 GTU

Hey guys, I bought this beretta without a spare a few years ago. The car wasn't driven as often as it is now, so time to get one. The car is black and red with 16's. Not sure what the correct spare would be for this. Is the spare any different then for a standard beretta? need to know before i hit a...

Why do the old 5.0 stangs hold their value?

In the first ad, the guy was asking 4k but later that day changed his price to $3500. I agree that being a 25th makes this one attractive. He'll prolly sell it if he hasn't already. The fBird on the other hand, is under the care of a real donut! He does not have the original rims and when asked what...

Why do the old 5.0 stangs hold their value?

reason i ask is because i came
across this one.

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/car/263109563.html

notice the small couch placed on the roof
in a feeble attempt to save space. I've got
a mind to go out there just to smack this dude.
the car definately needs to be rescued.

throttle problem

Taken from the FAQ #5 HOW DO YOU DO THE IDLE RELEARN PROCEDURE? WHEN DO I NEED TO DO IT? WILL IT WORK ON MY BERETTA? -The Idle relearn is done by starting your car, and leaving it idle until the fans turns on, and turns off. After that first *cycle*, turn the car off and let it sit for about 5 minut...

Why do the old 5.0 stangs hold their value?

white looks good on that one.
would be a sound investment
but I'm not one to let something
like that sit in my garage for another
20 years.

got a question I hope someone here
can answer. assuming both were stock
will a pontiac FB 5.7 formula of the same
year smoke this pony?

Why do the old 5.0 stangs hold their value?

Evidently he doesn't think so

he dropped his price by $500
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/car/262114491.html

Not saying it aint worth what he's asking but
he'll still need to go down another 5
before I can afford it.
