Thinking the basic tools you have on hand can stand-in for a specialized tool. Seriously, Autozone will lend you tools, for free. If you are going to put in the effort, do it right.

This is ridiculous. I’m sorry, they drove 3.3 miles one way and lost their jobs over this. If your that sensitive with you car then either A) work on it yourself or B) take it to a real mechanic that you know and trust and not the dealership.

The thing of it is, we don’t know what the interior of this car looked like before the “aluminiuming.” I could have been unravelling and decrepit to the point of being beyond repair. I hadn’t even noticed the wonky gauge before, but now I can’t not notice it.

WTF! You swapped the crappy Italian V6 for a Japanese V8. Awesome! Sounds like a deal. Then you go and do this to the inside of the car. Even if I liked it, and I most assuredly do not, the goddamned gauges aren’t even in a straight line.

Probably a leaky valve cover gasket. The old cork ones werent very good.

Ugh sorry but this is not a solution, but part of the problem. I’m sure most civilian crown Vic drivers are model citizens, but I’ve seen plenty who are desperately trying to make it look like they’re cops with everything short of having hidden sirens in the grille. Then everyone slows down around them and doesn’t…

I want a gallon of whatever you drink in the morning prior to driving.

When you work for an hourly wage, every minute actually does count.

This is assuming all manual drivers aren’t obnoxious asshats heel-and-toeing their way to the grocery store and bragging about it on the internet.

Drive one of these.

Give them a wide berth. Try to breathe deeply. Resist the urge to be vindictive. You can’t change patterned behavior from where you’re sitting. I mean, not legally at least.

Ignore them.

Rust-proofing.

Did you remember that VW once made two-door Jettas? Pepperidge Farm remembers

Rally America doesn’t allow sunroofs. But I’ve always dreamed of the illusion of a sunroof while going down stages. Thank you DECANO! Life saver.

Ugh, hard to top the amazing Bizzarrini Manta and the DeTomaso Mangusta, one of my favorite designs of all times. I’ll squeeze in the wonderful amazing BMW M1 while everyone is having dinner. Sergio Pininfarina said once in a talk I attended, and I am surely paraphrasing: “Car designers/companies should strive to…

The DeLorean is one of my all time top beloved car designs, but I’m a sucker for wedges, the weirder the better and for that there is the Alfa Caimano.

My favorite is and will always be The DeTomaso Mangusta.

Do you remember when Audi design was about more important things than just adding LEDs and creases to every surface? Just look at this. Look. It’s such a clean design. The metalwork does everything that you want an Audi to do, no more, no less.
