Yolo ends at the river. Sacramento is in Sac county. WEST Sacramento (which is a separate municipality) is in Yolo .

I have dabbled in cars like this all my life. Looks like it started life in Pale Primrose, a proper British color that is a pale yellow, and it was repainted a brighter yellow in the not too distant past. This gives me pause as a cheap new coat of paint often hides all sorts of horrors underneath.

He covered that in the “hindsight” paragraph.

Now you will know to inspect the clutch release bellcrank on your next 1965 Plymouth Valiant.

Thank god they didn’t know my friend Brandon was in the car.

I bent a Buick steering wheel with my face when a Corolla slid across the line and hit me basically head on.

Dear David Tracy,

This won’t print, I’m sure, but I had a Dirt Squirt as a kid. We were a Hodaka family!

IIRC, Hodaka also had the Dirt Squirt and the Thunder Dog.

Hodakas are cool but I would hold out for a Combat Wombat or Road Toad as the coolest Hodaka model names

It was one of those things that just came together on the work bench one day, it called out to me, I just added the blob of silicone, it really made itself. (-;

umm, no.

Just over the holiday weekend...

Like most hand tools, you should keep a set of “good” ones - preferably a name brand like Vise-Grip or Crescent - in straight and curved jaw, maybe a few sizes, in your main tool box. And then, go grab a set from HF or Walmart to keep in your car.

I keep a bag of tools in the floor storage area of my minivan, not just…

That’s the one creative touch here that I find kinda cool - if it’s a quarter minted in 1973. Otherwise, it’s just nonsense.

*finger snapping decreases*

Also note that it’s on the stands...and even then is already very low. Methinks if you set the rear wheel onto the ground it’ll be way too low to function as a proper bike, it’s scrape even when trying to go straight...

Nice to see someone who is definitely a Jet all the way.

Seriously. He at least wrote original content, didn’t just ask the readers a question and then repost as an article. 

David knows how to make a good slideshow! I’ll happily give him all 27 clicks to read through. I hope the other writers take note!
