I had typed up a comment calling bullshit on the 4hp claim. That would be over 1000hp/liter...

One of the best looking cars ever made, if not the best. I don’t know if our shopper should max out the budget on a 55 year old British sports car, however. They need money available to maintain it properly unless they want to see the value plummet.

I have something similar that has the Apple 30 pin connector, bluetooth, and an aux-in port.  The app that could be used to tweak some settings on it was discontinued years ago, but with a 30-pin to lightning cable, it still does what I got it to do: play music and charge up my phone.  The stereo in the garage is a…

Yeah... 3 months severance would feel like about 30 seconds when trying to find a job.

The last (only) time I was laid off I found another job before my 11 weeks of severance was up (I’d been with my former employer nearly 6 years and they had a 2 weeks/year policy at the time—now it’s 1), but those 7 weeks or so were a nightmare of stress, anxiety, depression, scrambling for freelance work, and…

Not only that, but your full-time job when you’re unemployed is getting another job. It's not a vacation. 

For the first 3-4 pictures, I kept thinking.

This is my 2430th—and final—blog as this site’s night man. After five years of writing here almost every day, I am moving on to pursue a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will still occasionally publish some freelance posts here, and really want to see what Bob can do with the place.

Sir Herb has said we can’t do…

I’ve had good luck with Dr. ColorChip on my old FR-S, maybe I’ll have to make another visit to that site

I’ve ordered from automotivetouchup.com before and been very satisfied. However, their stuff doesn’t come cheap -- I paid $20 for a 12oz can last time I ordered from them.

The guy I use as an occasional mechanic has two hammers. The BFH and the BMFH.

I like to use zip lock bags and use a sharpie to label them.

Have the whole roll of shop towels nearby at all times. Yes, the whole roll. Because you never know.

I use bags for bigger projects and basically each time I remove something I seal the open bag, label it as step #wahtever, and open a new bag. Each solid removal of a part goes with its bag.

We save our old shower curtains. Run the old ones thru the washer and fold up for use as needed. Use them as a barrier between you and the ground if you have to be/get under your vehicle. Where we live we have fire ants that attack and bite the crap out of a person. Can usually avoid that with the shower curtain. Also…

I have an Led worklight with a magnet on it- one day I was missing a bracket and looked for it for hours, gave up and put away the tools- there it was stuck to the light

Good tips.
