Parents owned a Square Body K20 Crew Cab back in the day with those seat belts, plus red vinyl seats and no other interior but chrome trim bits. Can confirm getting into that truck in the middle of the day was an obstacle course of not getting 2nd degree burns.

You’re being very generous with the 90's last race he “won” was in 1984. 110% certain it was fixed to align the stars so he could hit win 200, have good old Regan in attendance, and all on the 4th of July.

Hit me with that ‘Red Barchetta’

My dad has a very similar setup at his house. 2000+ Sq. Ft. of space with one truck bay (with the lift) and two smaller bays for race karts and motorcycles, a loft for parts storage. Plenty of space for his hoard of 1960s vintage Small Block Chevy stuff and ongoing projects. Him having a tire changer and an engine…

At their house, yeah... My home not so much, only things that come here are old PC compatibles.

Saw my first Bronco Sport in the wild today, fitting it comes the day after this article. I didn’t like it, at all... It looked like the love child of a Bronco II and a generic, store brand, bootleg Land Rover... I wouldn’t be paying any dollars for one. Then again I drive quirky old cars and shit boxes, so I’m not…

How is the plastic body holding up almost 20 years later? My first experience with Saturn was in 2000 when my parents bought a L series wagon as a runabout so they didn’t have to drive their diesel trucks as dailys, it was a decent car at the time. Now however my relationship with Saturns is seeing which fender is…

They’ll have to pry my glorious integrated heatsink Cyrix DX2-66 out of my cold dead hands! 

My parents have a traffic light in their family room. My dad works for the electric company and when our city was replacing the old ones with the new ones he was tasked with their proper disposal. He has 4 traffic lights now, the one in the family room is wired up and has its own dedicated light switch, the…

I agree with your sentiment to a point. I once daily drove a 2003 Ford Focus LX with the 2L SOHC and 4speed auto. That thing was a super sketchy car to merge on to the highway with. 0-60 of 11.1 seconds as reported by tests, but some of those 110 Horses left the stable in mine over the decade or so before I got it. If…

It’s worth it for the experience, cost of entry is relatively low (nice clean ones can be found easily sub $10k when they come to market) but do consider that some parts on them are weapons grade unobtainium... broken glass can potentially total one. And rear axles, good luck, you’re getting remans... but a lot of the…

1992 SVX LS-L in Liquid Silver with the charcoal Leather and Alcantara interior with faux walnut trim. Subie Chips eeprom in the ECU and 2002 legacy gt 5 speed transmission with 4.11 gears and a stage 2 sports clutch. 17” STi BBS wheels. It’s a 10 footer as far as appearance goes, but it’s a very fun and nimble car.

Sweet! Now I can comment and Mark Zuckerburg knows when I use the can! That’s what I call a twofer!

Ok, but if you leave with it you’re stuck with it! Haha

I came to make this comment, now I’m disappointed that my iPhone wont allow me to leave comments on this site for some reason and have to wait until I get home... Damn you Steve Jobs’ ghost!

Reading things like this makes me miss the inspected 2003 Ford Focus I paid for with a $100 Bill in 2015... Ahh the good old days

Joke is on the thief in my case, my daily is a $500 Forester with 220,000mi, with salvage title levels of frame damage that me and my Dad “Redneck’d” back “straight” with a port-a-power, a floor jack, 5lb sledge hammer and 2x4s in his driveway in an afternoon. If they can get passed the slightly left leaning driver’s…

Yup, I can go full wide open. That thing will hit high 7000RPMs. As for limiting the engine speed, it comes down to gearing, watching the tach, the correct weight valve springs and not having enough room on a smaller (1/8 - 3/16 mile) track to hit redline. In the end it comes down to knowing the limit, and having a…

You’re not wrong! It’s absolutely an asinine and silly way to gain 13HP! But, a few factors put me where I am. The group we ran with stipulated that the block must be a stock 212cc Predator, however mods were no holds barred. Think of this as my “Track Day” car, I don’t have the space at my home to store a 3rd car,…

I don’t know if the line about “fat fingered on my mivile” was intentional or not, but bravo because it first made me think, then made me actually audibly laugh, BRAVO!
