I like that we both thought the same thing when we saw that Matchbox car at _____ (Safeway for me). I thought about buying two to send to David and Andrew, but worried that would be too creepy so I opted to email them a picture of it instead.

It better be called “Ranchero”

This is why I always go with the highest-profile and narrowest tires I can possibly buy! Wait...

This is never going to be seen by anyone, but if you own a car with a points distributor a Pertronix electronic ignition points replacement doodad is like getting gold plated ice cream (that’s a good thing). A stronger more consistent spark, and never needing to adjust the timing again is the result. Before I was…

Any more recent pictures of the car? Bravo owning it that long.

That’s some good planning on Mini’s part. I generally feel like my Falcon was thought out well, there aren’t many things that I look at and wonder if they were high when designing it.... except for rust prevention measures. Ford didn’t galvanize anything that I’m aware of, and their only method of rust proofing was to…

How many cars from the 1970s and older have you driven? My 68 Falcon tops out at about 70, not because of power, but because 3rd gear is the top gear and at 70 it sounds close to redline. There’s also no tach though, so you have to play by ear. By the early 70s car’s performance had actually gone down significantly fro…

Just take it off and dunk it in water or something. There’s only like 4 bolts holding it on.

Dude, I’m sorry you’re lost. The article you were on is down here \|/

They would be safe for the same reason a person is safe in a car struck by lightning, the hood will act as a faraday cage. The electricity won’t take the path of higher resistance through the mice’s bodies when it can just take the lower resistance route through the metal. Also your jumper cables would melt before the…

I’m trying to think of something embarrassing about Italians but it’s escaping me right now. I’ll get back to you later on that.

It’s cute that you think living in a city means there are no people that think this way near you. Pull your head out of your butt and realize that the world is more complicated than just “rural” versus “urban,” and living in a city doesn’t automatically grant you the gift of enlightenment. Thinking the way you do is…

The thing I don’t like is how wealthy old men are pushing the values of all old 4x4s to absolutely insane heights and shipping them all to L.A. where they likely never touch dirt again, and definitely never get to do work again.

people......... ugh.

I was sitting near an older couple with the strongest NY accents I’ve ever heard in a restaurant recently, and resisted yelling “look at the menu!” as they asked the server several questions that were literally and clearly answered on the menu on the item they were ordering. It shouldn’t have bothered me, but it…

I tried to intercept 844 between Denver and Cheyanne, since it’s wide open, flat, straight, and usually their go-to run it seems like. It was really booking it when it passed me, then I got to see it in Denver that evening when I drove back home. I plan on doing that with 4014 when it’s finished, but I haven’t been…

Thanks, I literally cannot see that name without the song getting stuck in my head.

I hope he sticks around. I really like his pieces.

I’m so excited for 4014 to be running again. One of my coolest experiences ever was seeing 844 pass me at full steam. It literally felt like a building was passing me at 65 mph, I’ve never experienced that feeling of so much raw power anywhere else. It’s totally different from being passed by a diesel engine. Thinking…

Videos like this are kinda nice to play in the background though, you’re literally not missing anything if you don’t pay attention.
