The white paint is peeling off of the car in many locations including the roof, hood, bumpers, and doors. There is no rust present nor was the car damaged in any way. The paint is simply bubbling and peeling off. The car has been garaged the majority of its life.

I was pulling into a parking place at our church. When i turned into the parking place the car took off and it jumped an 8 inch curbing and ran into the parish center wall. It tried to climb the wall. I push the accelerator to turn into the parking space and the car took off! It was not driver error! *tr

I slowed down and put my car in 3rd. This was just before a curve to the right where the road and visibility narrow. The right lane was completely iced over as i realized when i got around the curve. In front of me, i saw…
