One of our old neighbors that went by the name of Hawkins, used to take old station wagons (Malibus and Impalas) and drop them on Chevrolet Blazer, Suburban and truck chassis. He did quite a few of them, this was when tgose old 2 and 4 door wagons were about $3.50, And a 4 X 4 chassis was about $5.00. They came out…

How timely. Just last week, my neighbor was warming his Toyota Tundra up. And someone took it. But the silver lining turned out that one of the other neighbors saw a white Escalade pull up, just like my Escalade except that it had Chrome wheels and the extended wheelbase, where mine has stock wheels and the short…

Its OK, I bought an Escalade. And a Silverado. I’m living the Dream

No shit. I’m not judging you or anything, but what the Fuck is wrong with you?

Those sit pretty heavy in my stomach, I’ll assume they are even heavier on your bumper.....

I used to get very attached to my vehicles. Dirt bikes, old Chevy trucks, El Caminos, WHATEVER. One day I realized, that something an old guy told me, several years earlier, was absolutely true. A couple things actually.

2009-2013 CTS-V. 557HP ought to get the job done. Preferably, a very low mileage so I can add some warranty to it, but I don’t really expect them to want to do it due to the power output, I suspect they tend to break shit as they get older. I’ve got an Escalade with the aluminum 6.2, and to me, that is a really…

Regarding importing, someone above mentioned a $5000-$6000 buy in overseas, and selling it for $15,000 here. I can’t think of too many vehicles (any anything really) that I am willing to pay 300% more than they get in their home country, is the grass really that much greener, are they that much higher performance,…

Take apart that heater motor and fix it. I started doing that with nearly everything, from starter motors, alternators, even heater motors and such, I had one that had been submerged for a couple months, the shaft for the flapper was seized and the motor wouldn’t turn either, cleaned off the corrosion on the shafts,…

Unless that importer guy is your brother or son or something, he didn’t replace the brake lines (at his expense) because he loves you, he replaced them because he made sooooooo much money on the deal that it wasn’t any problem to pay for it, and/or they were so trashed that you wouldn’t be able to stop at the end of…

What makes you think it’s always white men? It isn’t. Look at any male dominated society, and there will be abuse of women. ANY male dominated society. ANY male dominated religion. ANY male dominated sport. But you just have to blame white people. Now that is racist.

It isn’t that we don’t feel for the guy using his property, in my opinion, the issue is, that these cars are junk, Volvo wagons? Saabs? Convertible rabbits? Any VWs are junk, front engine, rear engine, Westphalias, whatever. The F250 flareside wasn’t desirable when it was brand new. Right at the moment, it might be…

Rear engine VWs are junk, too.

Well, I’ll go out on a limb and say that I seriously doubt that any truck with 200k plus miles, would feel “solid” or in any way, “tight”, at least in my experience, any vehicle I’ve ever driven or ridden in with 200k miles, was anything but. And if someone has been bombing around in the dunes or the desert with this…

Most really young Americans, since it appears that more than half of them don’t drive. Everybody I grew up with, got their driver’s licenses the day they turned 16. We definitely knew/know how to beat a car. How to fix a car. How to absolutely kill a car.

Nor everyone is a computer dork.

Guys, I just don’t get this EuroLust over a 4hp little diesel truck. Oh yeah, manual transmission and 4wd. I know, the grass is always greener. Except it usually isn’t, just like trying to get that date with the gorgeous chick (or guy, I’m not judging you.........much), the fantasy is usually better than the reality.…

I don’t think any new Car eats spark plugs any more, not the newer ‘Vettes, not the 500+up Mustangs, Beemers, CTS-V’s, people won’t tolerate have a spark plug eating car any more. Of course, give me a minute, I can make changes (modifications), and make that sucker eat more spark plugs than my old El Camino, which…

Sure it is. Just quit voting for the losers.

If it sucks so much to live there, move.
