I just did my wife's Malibu's on Sunday and didn't feel one bit bad about buying ceramic pads since the whole cost to me was going to be $70.

It can also damage the seals in your master brake cylinder by forcing the fluid through them.

Slip a length of tube over the brake bleeder valve and empty it into an old water bottle or something. They're designed to be able to have the tube on there while still being able to open and close the valve.

Investing should return ~4% even accounting for inflation, 7-8% is pretty standard without accounting for inflation.

I had a friend who had a Trans Am with a Camaro front clip (or maybe the other way around) that referred to it as the Pontelet Transmaro.

The article is talking about state routes that travel through urban areas, but still utilize traffic studies that are applied to more suburban or rural areas. Even if you only looked at the pictures, you can see it is talking about 9 lane roads utilizing 12-foot lanes in the middle of cities, which are inherently…

As a truck driver you should embrace the use of smaller vehicles. Smaller vehicles means more trips, which means the need for more drivers. More jobs available with a relatively even labor pool would drive wages up, or create better working conditions as they try to retain employees.

And two of these have more power than the entire 10-car Dodge lineup from 1989, which included 3 vehicles in the last year of their production runs which doubled up some segments.

While I 99% agree with what you're saying, the jack stands at Harbor Freight are probably one of the best products they sell there. I'm trusting my life to my jack stands, and I'd crawl under anything that's (properly) up on the Harbor Freight stands (weight limits permitting of course.)

A more accurate model would have used Lincoln Logs

Holy shit that blind spot.

The early Fox body mustangs with the 88 HP Pinto engine. A buddy of mine in high school had one and acceleration was non-existent.

One of the rarest of a currently-scorching-hot car and they couldn't bother to find someone with a camera better than their iPhone?

I think the manual V8 S4 Avants will appreciate, and this one is listed at $13k.

You think your Miata is cute? The Suzuki Cappuccino would like to have a word with you. It may have only had a 63 hp three cylinder, but it only weighs 1,500 lbs, and it's rear wheel drive. If anyone knows how to import one to the US, please let me know.

Except that from 1996 to some time in the mid 2000's there was a well known head gasket issue that occurred on all of the 2.2 and 2.5L engines, so definitely not entirely bulletproof from the factory. That being said, swapped units with better gaskets have proven to be very reliable.

The founder of the team has cancer, had to skip the IOM due to treatment scheduling. Unfortunately far, far worse than financial problems :(

I can vouch for this. Three-pedal equipped car, and I only use it when necessary now because it would hit my shin on my throttle/brake leg if I left it in while driving.

Unfortunate that they couldn't get the seats to fold flat. This seems like something that is getting more and more common in wagons these days, even the compacts (Honda Fit anyone?)

If you're talking about the gray E46 M3, then it is a CSL. The pictures on the Supercar site have a closeup of it. The hatchback is a Nissan Qashqai R, sort of like the Juke R that was created here (GTR drivetrain, regular Nissan vehicle.)
