So... It's like the Interga's old price point? I see nothing wrong here.

Waaait a minute....

Maybe your Taco is just the wrong size. Too big to be small, too small to be big. I miss my '81 Mazda B2000. I didn't expect it to tow a car because it was tiny and not for that. It got >30mpg, and parking was a breeze. Most I threw in the bed was about 800lbs, but it did that fine. Great motor fetcher. You…

Because the bad 80s and 90s cars died of natural selection a long time ago.

For what it's worth, this is essentially the way trains have been doing it for 100 years. The diesel turns a generator and that powers electric motors. Its a proven method, and a smart way to do things. HOWEVER. Simply hooking a generator to the back of the stock V8 is inexcusable laziness. Trains ditched…

This makes absolute 100% sense. The simple fact is, we all settled on gasoline as the most convenient way to pay for road use. It's nice and scalable you see. The EV messes that all up. They're heavy vehicles that wear the road as much as a big car/small truck (by weight). The taxes on electricity go to pay for…

Volvo 240. Why settle for the rest when you can have the best? Preferably in late 70's flat hood trim.

"increased off angle operation" isn't from removing the gas tank exactly. If you have a carbureted engine, you can only tip it over so far before the fuel runs out of the bowl. One option is to inject it, but another is to convert to propane. Since propane is a gas, the 'carburetor' (mixer) can operate properly at…

I agree that Volvo is the new Saab, but I draw a different conclusion from those same facts. Volvo, like Saab, has moved very far away from the core identity that defined it for decades. Volvo, like Saab, has adopted the practices of platform sharing and designed obsolescence. Volvo, like Saab, has given up…

So many things right with this car, and the wrong things are so easily fixed. It would all depend on how well that 6 speed conversion was done, but the stock motor and clean body just screams opportunity.

RE: FixUbimmer

There is a good deal of history between LEOs in Houston and the "street racing" scene. Back in the late 90's when I was in it, you'd have massive groups of cars meeting in private lots on Westheimer. Eventually somebody would do domething stupid, or everybody would leave too much trash, and the property owner would…

The correct answer, depends on how much scrutiny you're going to face of course. The gas tank always offers a nice option for storage space. Virtually every car has a top access for the float and/or pump. When packaging your 'cargo,' remember to wrap it well and include a string just like a tampon for easy…

My eyes may deceive me here, but that looks like an Accord. Not HX wheels in that case. iirc, the 4 bolt Type R wheels are for the larger pattern.

To be painted in Alitalia livery and then never washed again <3

"A little heavy handed"? This is the company that wants to sell you a convertible designed by Pixar for $370K. I thought heavy handed was what they were going for.

Thanks! I'm in the Hill Country north of San Antonio. Good place to toodle around in an old Volvo! It's in good shape for how old it is, and is going to clean up really well. It took forever to find a 75 (pushrod power!) coupe with a 4-speed stick. It's being converted to a euro-spec single SU to get away from…

If you park a Daytona coupe carelessly behind the F12, do you end up with a Dino 9 months later?

I'll try the picture again, Corolla GTS. There were few enough left before everybody decided they were the second coming of Takumi.
