It was boring as hell before laptops and internet connectivity became common.

There are crows foot wrenches that look like open end wrenches, then there are those vastly more useful that look like flare nut wrenches. The lead photo looks like the latter, and it also looks like a nearly-new car or maybe a California/desert Southwest car. Having lived my entire life in the Greater…

There was a large segment of the population that grew up with domestic cars and simply never considered any import cars.

In between Olds 98 sedans (1970 and 1978), my parents owned two Cutlasses, a ’74 sedan and a ‘76 coupe. They were both of the big-bumper era 1973-1977 model years, and both of the “Cutlass Salon” trim, which was marketed as “European style”. They had “advanced” features like radial tires and factory rear…

The only way this will work is to get the incentives right (starting with a steep carbon tax) so that human ingenuity and the economy is geared toward inventing wonderful things and experiences in the most efficient way.

Ross, the Mazda 3 hatch has long been on my short list of “new cars I would buy if my Sonic hatch got t-boned”. I’ve used the online build tool for a 3 hatch Premium trim with stick shift. Now try finding one with a stick in either Snowflake White Pearl Mica or Soul Red Crystal Metallic. Zero cars within a 200…

Refrigeration. Transportation. Modern appliances. Tremendous advances in medicine just in the last 100 years. Powered flight…

I’m curious about where and when the lede photo was taken. In that photo I see a very cute (Midwestern?) young woman, age maybe 18-, 19-, or 20-years old, surrounded by Asian or Asian-American students. My own undergraduate years were in the mid-1970s. Back then almost all of the students were USA-born. By the…

Ah, but may Kavanaugh slip into the permanent dirt nap sooner rather than later.

$2M is enough money to buy about 10 homes in Ohio

A good rewards card can net a few hundred bucks of rewards over a year.

I briefly owned a ‘78 El Camino for a few years in the late 1990s and never made this connection to the Ferrari 308. Torch, don’t you ever change.

im currently not drowning in debt.

while the percentage of people who have credit cards is a lot lower, everyone has a debit card. They all got replaced by chip and pin cards in 2003.

I can log into rockauto and overnight whatever parts I want, or I can get the whole bundle shipped slowly for very cheap. I’m no longer stuck with whatever the autoparts store has in stock
