2nd generation Corvairs with Porsche engines and suspension components. These were beautiful cars that GM barely supported after Ralph Nader crucified the swing axle cars of the pre-65 cars (64 was a weird transitional year with components of both). Given the 95-180 hp that they pushed through through powerglides and…

back when my buddies and I were rebuilding cheap Corvairs to autocross and run time trials on club days at Lime Rock, we realized that Chevy only cut about 9 different keys for the car and always checked a new arrival for which version it had...

That’s also how my wife has described most of my ”projects”

245 miles every day? I’d almost bet on a new take on the old odometer rollback scam:

Bum. When I was a kid that conjured up an image of a hobo with a perpetual five o’clock shadow, chewing on the stump of a cigar, with his belongings carried in sack tied to a stick resting on his shoulder. He traveled by boxcar and lived in train yards, cooking beans on a campfire as his hobo colleagues passed around a…

Why care?

Thanks. I had wondered why my Veyron suddenly seemed to act like it had a potato in the tailpipe when I exited I-287 onto I-95.

Have to appreciate the fact that Centsible refreshed the fluids, belts and hoses. I’d bet that a majority of the ‘collectible’ cars (Eldorado convertibles, commemorative Corvettes, etc) that owners bought new and stashed away hoping for a big payday in the future never receive such attention, and need all that and…

that is one ugly rear end...and people laughed at my X4's butt...

It would clearly be the Jeep Wrangler, if it wasn’t for its market-best value retention.

Aha! So that’s what the Bill Withers song is all about...

I was a short, fat little kid. My friends and I found a ‘cave’ formed by a pile of boulders that had been excavated to clear a railroad right of way. Entering involved climbing down into a large hollow space that had been used by the local teenage hoodlums to sniff glue and look at cheesy mens’ magazines’ (underwear…

it yanks my doodle as well...

I grew up with gas and have had an electric coil stove for 30+ years. I don’t see a damn bit of difference in performance and just prefer not having an open flame.

I don’t remember seeing you at the family picnic...

they had to include a scene of someone doing something -anything- to let the audience know that someone was trying to go faster, otherwise they would have forgotten that there was a chase happening

Cars, boats and musical instruments are female, tools and computers are male.

...with a top speed of 136.2 furlongs per fortnight...

how about a tour of maritime disaster sites - cruisers can feel superior just by surviving 

and as I consider the issue further, their enjoyment would be greatly enhanced on the least accessible roads within range, those on Block Island, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
