    Looking for proper license plate holder.

    In my other thread I noted that my mom had purchased a 2021 Equinox. I gave the exterior a look over today, and it appears that the vechicle was traded in from another state. There is no front license plate holder on this car. Can anyone point me to the correct holder/bracket?

    Any of you ever lose the "love" for your hobby?

    I'm just wondering. When I had my 3800 powered Buick I used to wrench on it every weekend. I kept it in pristine condition.

    Went to cut my parents grass and the mower wouldn't start. Pulled the spark plug and the electrodes had oil between them. Looked like new clean oil too. Checked oil level and its half full.
