I had to replace the valve cover gasket on mine when I got it, as it was leaking oil right onto the exhaust manifold. I recall the inside hood had a diagram of all the tubing printed on it.

That whole “storage” thing is just a ruse. The real reason why the choo-choo is held up in the desert?

Uh, yeah. Most diesel-electrics are rated around 5-7K horsepower per unit.

Every carbed car I’ve owned has been from the smog era, and I do NOT miss that rat’s nest of vacuum lines.

Where I learned what BVSV means.

Good lord, the hoses...

Several years ago, someone gave me an ‘80 Tercel hatchback. It was his mom’s car and he just wanted to see it go to help someone needy, which I was at the time. Still eyeballs-deep in debt, with a rusty ‘87 CRX ferrying me around town when it decided to work, I needed a reliable car.

Yeah, seriously. The crazy leading the crazy (in good ways)

seek help.

Hey look! I found David’s neighbor!

Milk jug?!? Jason of all people should have known how to handle this:

David, I love reading your articles, but I thank the good Lord above that you aren’t my neighbor. Or my tenant. ;)

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Your exactly right though. it all comes down to these companies not willing to put the necessary money into the company so they can be competitive. And FCA has been going about it the wrong way, running the company as if gas is going to stay cheap forever. I like the SRT cars and…

So many Philly drivers run blatant red lights. I’m talking, that light was red for 4 seconds, and you’ll see a car come flying into the intersection at 60+ mph probably screaming, “LOOK GUYS I MADE THE YELLOW!”

During the 90's though they were on it. Damn near bringing concept cars to production, Cab Forward design, the Neon etc. They have just had bad luck since the late 80's and being bought by Diamler seems to have made things worse.

Because they are perpetually behind Ford and GM by about 10 years in powertrain research and their product line is mostly stagnant. Their interiors lately have been impressive, though.

I hate speed and red light cameras as a driver. That said, as a homeowner who’s yard backs up to a road through my city, I’m trying to find out how to get a speed camera added by me. The sign changing the speed limit from 35 MPH down to 25 MPH is on my corner and at peak times of the day, drivers regularly go through…

And can they shoot?
