I snagged a set of these at a local scrapyard for $10, with a vision of them filling my Corvair’s concave cowl. That was 1983....they’re still sitting in my garage...

not to mention that it’s ‘reliability’ and ‘practicality’ will provide endless material for future articles and endless write-offs of the overpriced parts needed to keep it rolling...a gift that keeps on giving...

#2 served me well until I was wiped out by a guy named Gary Charles...just couldn’t tell  he was a Hoosier....

It’s unfortunate that this thread has devolved into a political attack on China. I don’t mean to suggest that China doesn’t deserve much of the hate, but jeez...this is about the hardware, not the market manipulation.

I’ve since moved on through several flappy paddle gearboxes and can state with confidence that the ZFs I’ve driven -and in my just-acquired third BMW product- are better than every stick or…

Any and every Porsche made since is more attractive than the 356.

A brown cap fixed that, but didn’t help the appearance. The car is long gone but I still have the cap. Anybody need one? Free to…

Members of my local Corvair club routinely tested their keys in each other’s cars and convinced themselves that Chevy only made eight different key patterns and distributed them randomly throughout the country

drill two holes in each of two 3' lengths of 2x4, bolt them together across the nut’s flats with the wood extending rearward to rest on the pavement. tighten it all down, drive slowly in reverse and the nut will unthread itself.
