Everyone who buys that type of headlight should be forced to stare into it for 30 seconds before purchase, since I don’t think most people who buy them realize how bright and obnoxious they are to oncoming traffic.

I had an automatic 92 with the 4A-FE in it, at 240k it made a window in the block and still managed to drive, and I have a 99 5-speed with 312k on it that is still going strong. This one would be fun with a a 2ZZ-GE swap...
Those Datsun 510 hood props were great until someone who didn’t know about how it worked went to shut the hood and bent it :-( Ask me how I know...
I have a hardbound copy of his autobiography somewhere. My memory seems to think it’s signed even.. I remember in the 90s when Dodge became “The New Dodge” and they built the big new factory in Detroit, and he was again in the commercials.
Not only that, but on a bike you have a great view of exactly where every part of your vehicle is, once this clicked in my brain I stopped getting neurotic when a biker stopped right on my bumper at a light (unless said biker had obnoxious lights pointed right at my side mirror...)
They were trying to get it passed in Oregon, and it was going to be only legal if traffic was under 35mph and you couldn’t go more than I think 5 or 10 mph faster than the traffic, or something like that. Thing people don’t realize is going under a certain speed on a bike is MORE dangerous, and when traffic is at or…
This, along with the people who ride with their brights on all the time, or have obnoxiously bright headlights - it makes you notice the bike, and then look elsewhere to avoid the light (and meanwhile seeing spots), doubly true for when they come up behind you, like if the purpose is so that you’re seen, it kind of…
I once heard a Defender 90 described as a “Jeep Wrangler for people who think Wranglers are for the peasants”
I remember having my Dodge Polara in the shop at Wyotech and one of the students walks over and goes “Man, you could fit like, four 15s in that trunk!” Another kid walks over and says “Or you could fit like, 12 cases of beer!” Third kid walks over and says something about fitting six dead hookers in the trunk. The…
Nissan’s NAPS-Z engine from the early 80s had twin spark plugs, it had only one distributor but it had an ignition coil for each bank of plugs. and a goofy cap and rotor.
It’s probably a centrifugal supercharger, versus the Roots style that most people are familiar with - they look pretty much like a turbo, just with a belt drive on it. Doesn’t make the terminology correct, but probably the source of his confusion.
Went and saw this with a couple of buddies when it came out. After the movie, all the kids who’d driven their Civic to the movie were taking turns bouncing it off the rev limiter, and for the next month the auto parts store couldn’t keep stickers and fart mufflers in stock.
My ex and I went and saw this in the theater, and we came out with her wanting a pink S2000 :-P
I used to work with a guy who got one of these out of the “free” bin that the AutoZone rep had (When they’d deliver parts, they’d bring old stock stuff and just give it away, was usually crap like this and like, tire shine, etc..) I took it apart and it was an LED and a resistor, in a fancy case. I was like yeah, only…
That’s way awesome! I wanted an Insight when I bought my Prius, but I could not find one with a manual transmission :-(
It’s not just game testers, ask anyone who’s been a contractor at a large company and we’re pretty much all treated like second class citizens.
camping sex is always wild because it’s fucking in tents
My complaint on the Camry is that the motherfawking SPORT EDITION isn’t available with a manual transmission :-P
Looks to me like it’s got less rust than Project Redwood did...
