I would love to buy a rust free Fairmont wagon with the 302, four speed manual trans and limited slip diff. Of course the Ford seats & radio would have to go. But I doubt that any of them are left, which is sad as a friend’s dad had one that stood up to Alberta’s winters for about fifteen years...
Does my 1978 E-150 count, as it is almost fifty years old??? Once upon a time, we used to be able to buy really good products, like a cargo van with a king pin front end, a 351 Windsor and a four speed manual transmission. Having added a 4.11 ring & pinion and a limited slip diff. and its the best power tool that I…
Up until last year, Spunky the Wonder Car, my daily driver was my 1984 Audi 4000 quattro with about 350k miles on it thought the odometer got stuck in the two hundreds about twenty years ago. An assault by a neighbor who knew that I had my back broken by a drunk driver added two herniated disks to the damage. So…
With pressed on rotors, ball joints that are pressed into the control arms, and the CVCC Engine & its dozens of vacuum hoses for its vacuum based emission computer, there is only one way to pick a worse piece of crap, by getting one with the Hondamatic. The Hondamatic was a two speed semi automatic transmission that…
I don’t know which is more annoying, Scotty’s voice or the fact that he is a Toyota Fan Boy. I consider all fan boys of a specific make to be idiots and or liars. As every automaker has made some horrible junk like the Toyota LE Van, Lexus RX300, or that Corona that my late step father bought when I was young, and…
The weirdest shifter I know of is Ford’s Three Speed Overdrive Manual Transmission. While it appears to be a standard H pattern manual trans, but it isn’t. As to shift into Third Gear, you push the gear shifter and a linkage rod engages Third. To Shift from Third to Fourth, you pull the gear shifter and a linkage…
Please F#ck 0ff and Die...
Wouldn’t using two motorcycle drive-trains make more sense???
No you don’t want it. Seriously, you really don’t want an early Honda Civic, especially the CVCC. As it has a crappy three valve engine with a weird & crappy three barrel carburetor and two dozen vacuum tubes going to a weird & crappy vacuum operated “early emissions computer”. Also the alternative engine is the Alumin…
Thank you. I have suggested sending Mr. Elon Musk to Mars with current technology. The Atlas Rocket is up to the task of transporting a lander & rover weighing more than a small car. After all Musk can’t weigh more than 250 lbs. What? Are you talking about when you said that “the Radiation Shielding & a Life Support…
My kitty just pointed out that “Cats are universally better than dogs”, as dogs will gladly eat out of a litter box...
Howto report this dangerous idiot to YouTube
Given that his body was traveling at about 155, had he rear ended a passenger car, his dead body would have likely killed all the occupants as a 150 to 200 pound human corpse missile...
Same here...
You misspelled “freeDumb”...
Exactly...
Personally I’m happy with a five speed manual trans and the older live axle that doesn’t need much if any service...
And my daily driver is a 2007 Mustang GT Premium. Given how long I keep cars, I will still be driving in fifteen years. After all my previous daily driver is an 1984 Audi 4000q...
probably not...
