Those Gliders are not putting in old engines, they are putting in rebuilt old engines with advanced technology that gets closer to 9 mpg over the 6 to 7 they got first time out of the factory. You don’t have to put that expensive DET fluid in them, or maintain the fancy, super complex, hardware that helps the new…

what do you think ethanol is if not a sugar byproduct. i have seen blackish blemishes above the gas cap on white vehicles, it’s like mold from the sugar content of the ethanol laced fuel.

how can you tell it’s not a regular celica

If there’s a six cylinder in that thing and the hatch isn’t rusted, I’ll take it.

while Donald is at it, he can look at the other boondoggles, the littoral combat ship, and the USS John Kennedy, which has bad motors, a catapult system that is yet to launch an aircraft off the carrier, and a newly design arresting gear they are thinking of scrapping,  

Nice write up. I drive a 2004 subie wagon with the 3.0 H6. It’s pushing 190,000 miles and just getting warmed up. The last month I have been a driver for a nissan dealership, driving cars to and fro. I have driven their entire line up, including the $60,000 Armada and some $60,000 Diesel Titans. All their cvts are…

I believe I read they are doing cost studies to replace the catapaults and convert them back to steam. This thing is a joke. Nothing but a handout to defense contractors.

police interceptor, ala Mad Max

Marlon Brandos’ the Wild Ones (1953) would certainly seem to emulate what happened in Hollister, just surprised you didn’t mention it in the article.

This forecast was too late in coming. I was in New Orleans on the Saturday the day before, having driven 12 hours to get there and attend a wedding, I was prepared to spend the night there, but after watching the weather on local TV at midnight I decided to leave the city.I drover right out toward Mobile, no problem.…

Nice story Benjamin, you captured quite a bot of the mystique of the area. Having lived on the Mississippi coast and married a Cajun ( from Mamou, or as the locals call it, Big Mamou) girl I got to know the area a bit. In the late sixties my friend graduated from college and found himself at Ft. Polk headed for…

Personally I think FORD blew it when they quit making Crown Vics, they were making them for next to nothing and had a built in market for several hundred thousand units.

The first rapper.

the six cylinder an advanced motor, less vibration, individual coil packs, timing chain,etc, and has more power with similar gas mileage, mine runs perfect at 175,000 and is just broken in.

I prefer my 2004 35th anniversary outback with the 3.0 liter six. Does take premium gas tho.

ford cortina, shake rattle and roll

when you buy a ticket to any auto racing event you are signing a waiver against any injuries you might suffer from debris off the track, etc. when you line up to spectate a street race it constitutes the same waiver, i don't think the driver is guilty of murder, but his insurance carrier should be worried, and he…

this was posted on LL a few days ago, the car owner asked the mechanic to check the speedometer and the tracking of the car, the mechanic obliged - nothing to see here.

onerun, i have a 75 mgb, 20 years in it's under construction but on the road, i rebuilt the motor to 60's era specs, plus a mild cam, i made my own subframe connectors, i rewired much of the car using modern relays wherever possible, i'm now collecting parts for a front end rebuild which will include lowering the…

my 64 barracuda had push buttons that were vacuum activated, if i recall correctly. i remember having to put the buttons back in place as the whole thing was so cheesy it was always falling apart.
