Wow, so much hate. Its not mean or unfair to want to test its range. Range for an electric vehicle is the same as the horsepower for a muscle car. Its one of the first questions anyone asks. If Ford said 'Our new Mustang GT AWESOME edition makes 630hp' and then invited the media to drive it under 45mph on a small…

35% VLT, meaning at least 35 percent of the light has to get in. That's the equivalent of 65% blocking.

Tennessee. On ALL cars, there can be NO windows that allow less than 35% in. The windshield may have no tint at all, other than above the AS1 line. Windows may not be tinted with a reflective or mirrored tint at all.

I live in TN, and the ditch on the western edge of my farm is pretty much hazardous waste thanks to the improper disposal of oil and coolant by the nearby housing development residents. I really appreciate it when people take the time to do it right.

Guilty by Association.

It is very likely that different sizes of filter are made by different OEMs, even within the same company/family.

I'm actually quite a fan of the ecotec engine itself. Very impressive little powerplants.

The last Mobil1 filter I cut apart (which was admittedly about a year ago) was pretty clearly a Champion filter inside. Looked the same as Champ, STP, Bosch, and I suppose others. Wix filters I have cut apart (and boy howdy, does Wix make a shitton of other companies filters) are built very differently inside, their…

GM uses cartridge style filters on their Ecotec engines. Almost all filters are made from a cellulose/paper media inside...

Sometimes, if gloves aren't an option, i will grab a bar of soap before i get started and scratch it. That packs the underside of my fingernails with soap and it just rinses off when I am done. I mostly use it when I am packing the 8 inch diameter roller bearings in my farm's dozer or the largest bearings on the…

Step 12) Take oil to be disposed of FOR FREE at the auto store.

If you buy it in bulk, aerogel is only VERY expensive. 96% air, 1kg of it would consume about 21 liters of volume. Since we need about 12,000 liters to fill up the balloon (cribbing from jjohn) we are looking at 571kg of aerogel. At current prices for 'granular' (cheapest form) aerogel you could fill the balloon for…

Got cash? [manheim.com] Sign up as a buyer and bid. These guys are pros, they run auctions all day, and people aren't allowed to back out. Find yourself a Ride 'n Drive, so you can test drive it. If there is more than 1K in repairs needed, you can arbitrate for either repair costs or putting the car back in the…

I once saw a car hit by a sheet of 3/4 inch Styrofoam insulation sheet. It was only doing ~70 when the foam sheet came off the back of a pickup and it hit it square on. The entire front fascia of the car was removed and both headlights were broken, along with radiator damage. I feel a bit of CGI or camera trickery…

The driver in the mustang was very young, Scott Taff is the name. He got 18 months for it.

Hmm.. Could be painted KMC KM651's without the center cap. My brother has a set on his charger, but they shine more than that.

Factory SRT8 wheels that have been blacked out. I just replaced two of mine. Chrysler wants 1150 per wheel.

The towing capacity is too low. Its not an engine issue, its a GCWR issue.

E-Series ditched the diesel in 2011. They ran the 6.0L to 2010, and the 6.4L doesnt fit in its chassis. There are no more diesel E-Series being built at this time.

The R/T is a different animal than the SRT8. By nearly 100HP and completely different suspension..
