Yeah, it’s a valid question for sure. Well, if you have clean/warm ones that have been in your truck, and you’re trying to get off a patch that’s snowy/ice with some traction, they could work. Read more

Uh, hmm... yeah, there are some ice/snow scenarios in which they’d be helpful.

RockAuto! I think I paid like $5 for Hella beams.

Somebody wrote in with another article on this that suggests using compressed air (or a leafblower, haha) to get ash off... which might work too I guess!

Yes, I have that one too, and will probably blog about it soon haha.

AutoModelista is also excellent, I have that one too!

Bicycling is really great. I actually prefer it to motorbiking? Can I admit that without being too heretical? Read more

Thought I’d try this “comedy” I keep hearing about.

Hahaha we must be neighbors:)

Dang, yeah, how annoying!

They have mobile balancing machines for sure. Alignment, I’m not sure if that’s possible to do mobile-style.

I am totally fine with the new Z being an incremental improvement on the 370Z. In fact, to me, it just means the car will be easier to maintain and modify. If it keeps the stick, I’m going to be pretty tempted by this. Read more

My new trillionaire fantasy is going to Mitsubishi and being like “call anyone who worked on the Pajero Dakar program 20 years ago and build me a singular brand-new street-legal SUV with a hilarious engine/transmission combo. Here’s two million bucks to get the ball rolling.”

It looks so much like a Montero!

It hasn’t overheated, I just baby it out of paranoia. Read more

I don’t think so. I never saw dangerous temperatures and the stock temp gauge never even moved. I’m just paranoid.

Good tip. I concur, I think it’s most likely that a worn clutch is the culprit.
