Stowing the vacuum hose looks like Cthulu squeezing into a mailbox.

At least the cargo door blowing open won’t drop any passengers, just some fire suppressant.

How’s the legroom in the second row? 

Guess they don’t want to go crying home to (Eda)mame.

Love this song! Squeeze was so underrated.

My car always runs better right after a wash. Every. Time.

In a similar vein, project motorcycles are not as cheap as some would think. While not as rare as a 1 of 2000, my Norton project has been continuously chipping away at my bank account. There’s a decent aftermarket network despite the company folding in the 70's, but nothing on this thing comes cheap.

You’re being forced to take place in a no-holds-barred race across the Sahara and may pick any vehicle as your ride. You may not have any outside assistance. What vehicle do you choose?

For all that tech Q invented and put on the car, you’d think some type of international LoJack would’ve been standard.

Paintballs?

So I bought a car from Carmax, and overall I was pleased with the process. There were two reasons I bought it there:

This is the slippery slope of buying a decent old vehicle. Now you want to keep making it better and better. Happened to me with a couple motorcycle restorations I’ve done. You can’t just replace a single piece of chrome. Then the rest will look bad.

This kind of racing was brought to my attention when I saw the Revival cycles offroad sidecar rig

I’m originally from NY, and this guy was a riot to watch. Truly an artist with a roll of duct tape.

A great way to get your start in wrenching. What was the total cost on the project?

How short are the service intervals? Not too familiar with newer Duc’s. How often are valve adjustments required?

Maybe Coke syrup would have offered a better viscosity.

What’s the maintenance schedule like? How often are we talking top end rebuilds?

I work in the aircraft interiors market, and I can tell you that it’s the same damn thing. I get to see and sit in some of the most ridiculously luxurious airplane seats. Suites with double beds, suites with more advanced technology than I’ll ever see, seats nicer than any car I’ll ever own.

What would be your recommendations for a 3-row 6-cylinder option to not feel like I’m driving a minivan? I like the Acadia but I’m concerned about quality. And the Pilot’s gear shift location just weirds me out.
