    Wow. I didn't give that much thought before, but it's a safety tip beyond that of most inspections I've heard of so far. This may have just saved me quite a day on the road, thanks.

    It depends on what you are going to look at. I know I'd be checking all mounting bolts on subframed cars. There are not all that many holding them on. The fender and front bolts are just small and they attach to the subframe.
    This Camaro actually came from the area I am from in central Illinois and was owned by a tri-five Chevy friend who later moved to Florida and sold it there. Coincidence. I knew nothing about it's history until I bought it. Possibly the Illinois salt and ice got to the bolts. They were rusted badly where they passed thru the body.
