I replaced the OE Pirelli PZero Nero tires on my ‘18 Challenger Scat Pack with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S’s, and the difference is amazing. The back end can still come around very easily, but I have to actually want to do it, the traction in all conditions is much better, and stopping distance on wet pavement is…

Don’t go too close to the bananas in the produce section. I’ve seen a couple of Banana Spiders there. One dead and one very much alive. People freaked out. 

I liked the looks of it, but that was about all I liked. I spent a lot of time in the passenger seat of a ‘71, and it was just awful. The owner, a friend of mine bought it as his first new car, and it fell apart, even in the Vegas desert, really quickly. When the engine began burning oil at a rate that made it look…

That would be my guess too. The only animal I’ve ever seen personally on a plane was on a flight from Chicago to Atlanta, there was a huge spider, one of those ones with the brown fur on them, A Wolf Spider. He(?) just sat on the empty seats across the aisle from me. A few people came and looked at him, but they left…

LOL, those rear quarters are my most hated thing about them, with the rear of the greenhouse right behind. I hated the interior styling, still do, the useless trunk, the nearly useless back seat, so much to hate. If the Challenger hadn’t existed, I would have probably bought a Mustang, and I’m about as big a…

It’s almost like the car companies, most of them anyway, were like trying to destroy themselves. Yeah, emissions took the power away for about 10 years, but they seemed to just give up and put out terrible car after terrible, and ugly car. Granada, Monarch, Pacer, Vega, Pinto, Mustang II, Citation, Volare, Aspen, etc,…

I would say the Vega is number one, with the X cars close behind. I would love to have heard the talk about it as it was about to be launched by the executives in private. Like when did they realize what a total turd it was, and how it got approved in the first place. Business train wrecks are something I just love to…

I was friends, sort of, with a guy who came from a Chevy only family. They just couldn’t conceive of buying any other make, not even another GM brand. Their cars, pre Vegas, were an Impala, a Camaro, and a Chevelle, all pretty low end models with A/C and a 307(I think)in all of them. They bought a pair of them,…

In the pic, he doesn’t look much better than my dad did in his coffin at his funeral. Unlike every single other person I’ve ever seen in a coffin who looked great, my dad looked just awful. A couple of people at the funeral home said, “He looks so good!”. As upset as we were, we laughed. I don’t think Rudy will be…

I can understand having problems with autopay. It took me many many tries just to access the stupid portal my apartment complex had for electronic payment. I tried and tried to get it to work, but it would take my card info, and when I clicked on, “PAY NOW”, it would bounce me back to the desktop. This happened to my…

I’ve been into the shortwave radio hobby for many decades and in the 80's, they began selling decoder boxes that decoded a bunch of different digital signals you could hear. These ranged from news feeds to weather fax maps, morse code spy stuff, and marine traffic. One of the modes was “SITOR” which was very common on…

A friend of mine recently was pulled over for supposedly not stopping at a 4 way stop. My friend let the cop write him up and just as he was getting the, “You have a nice day sir!” from the cop, my friend said, “I think it’s gonna be better than your day is going to be!”, and pointed at his dashcam, which had the…

Mine are:

Yeah, the Mopar cars with the sunroof loses a lot of headroom. I made a hard pass on any sunroofed car due to my wispy hair brushing the roof constantly and it felt like a spide was crawling on my head. Non sunroofed Chargers/300s, and Challengers have plenty of headroom. A 6'4" friend of mine has no problems in his…

For many years, my answer would be, “Whatever my sister is currently driving!”. An endless stream of lower end, but not stripped, usually brown or tan, or later on, silver slugs. First of them was her turd brown over lighter turd brown ‘79 Cutlass. That thing was trouble from day one, and yet she kept it almost 10…

I see a few of them around the Toledo area, but an orange one that is always super clean and looks new. I’ve only seen it moving once, and that was a while back, but it’s not in the same place in their driveway, so it’s probably being driven. Reminds me of my former neighbor who had a red Maverick for about 30 years…

Since you can buy a decent dashcam with great performance at night for not a lot of money, there’s no excuse for GM and other carmakers to put crappy backup cameras in vehicles at this point in time. I don’t really care about the resolution, but decent backup lights and reasonable low light performance of the camera…

My former boss “Tom” went through employees like a drunk goes through beer cans/bottles. He owned a service station and had a large chunk of the emissions testing, so the place did well, even though he was a total dick. All four corners had service stations on them, and the worst of the other 3 had about 10% of the…

My former neighbor bought one at the height of “Bronco Fever” for a totally ridiculous price. It’s not the first time he’s done that, he bought one of the first I ever saw New Beetles for her oldest daughter as a college graduation/wedding present. It’s bad enough to pay sticker for one, but he paid like $4K over. To…

Pointing out that police do a lot of rotten things is “far left”? I don’t think so, it’s just pointing out that there are a lot of cops that do really shitty things and they shouldn’t get away with them. Defund the police? No, but reform them, of course. And stop rehiring ones that have proven to be bad guys in…
