Took my drivers license test in a 73 Scamp with a slant 6. Great economy engine, one of the best, and 4 on the floor is cool. But no way at this price. CP.

Yup. Every now and then I find an orphan milk jug of used oil on my shop doorstep.

Anti seize compound isn't the worst idea you could have.

Research. Manuals and forums are your friends. Most of the things on this list are indeed easy, but some are not on certain vehicles. Some headlight capsules require removing bumper covers. Some brake pads have to have a screw type compression tool. Some rotors are captive and take a lot longer to do, or have…

Careful about spark plugs. Not all plugs need to be gapped with that little coin tool. In fact I’d say most don’t now, on late model cars, with iridium plugs especially.

I've enjoyed Tyler's writing immensely, and he has become for me as I know for many others my go to source for defense news and analysis. I will of course follow him to drive, but will also miss having his insight and intelligence here on Jalopnik to make sense of the fantastically complicated and overwhelmingly…

If they even know. The depth of people’s ignorance about their cars amazes me almost daily at the shop. I have a customer who insisted his caddy was all wheel drive even after we showed him there was nothing attached to the front hubs.

This is a very dangerous game. I don’t know what kind of protocols our ships follow with regards to potential air attacks, but this sort of behavior seems to beg for miscalculation and escalation. Unfortunately, it’s a game we’re probably going to have to play as well if we want them to respect our ships’ right to…

I get you're talking about the Latin market with the Nova but as a kid growing up in the 70s here in the US there were a literal million Novas.

I’m sorry, I have a little bit of a cold and it’s affecting my hearing, but did you just use the words “forward thinking “ and “GM” in the same sentence?

I actually would be more impressed if this were an April fools joke and you had this level of skill in Photoshop.

Back in the day I hauled our infant son, my (now ex-) wife, and myself in a standard cab’87 Toyota pickup with a 4 on the floor. The rear facing car seat had to go in the passenger side, leaving her (no offense but she was never a thin slip of a girl) in the middle. Shifts were generally Interesting. Oh and no air.

Don't feel bad everybody. I see ASE certified professional techs misdiagnose stuff on a regular (and unprofitable) basis.

Yeah I don't like that either, but I think the new pedestrian safety regs pretty much dictate a higher hood line.

I can put tires on one all day long at my shop, so that's a thing of the past. Parts are still a little pricey, but available for basic stuff like brakes from AZ etc. usually. Rarely see one though most owners take them to the dealer.

“i” see what you did there.

Just remember sometimes the code just gives you a place to start, not a true solution. You may still have to do some diag work. It’s never “nothing “ and the oh it's just a bad sensor still means you have a bad sensor that should be replaced.

You have it all wrong. It’s a Colony Park in early stages of production.

I’d say you’re right. Lot of room under the hood of these. A little surprised the radiator survived. Bet the AC condenser didn't.

Why has Tavarish not bought this already?
