My camaro has an illuminated bow tie from the factory. I thought it was corny until i saw it. it actually looks pretty cool. It’s very subtle. no where near as bright as the merc version

Caliper paint is nowhere near as bad as caliper covers. You know, those fake aluminum covers that make your single piston floating calipers look like 4 pot Brembos, as long as you just look at them quickly from 50 feet away while the car is going 60 mph in the opposite direction across a 4 lane divided highway at 2…

the rear wheels keep the rear bumper from dragging. duh :-P

wings and spoilers both generate downforce, but do so in different ways. A wing is just like an airplane wing, but upside down. the shape of the airfoil causes lower pressure on the bottom of the wing and higher pressure on the top, generating a downward force. A spoiler disrupts, or “spoils” the airflow over a…

A functional spoiler creates downforce for lateral grip (i.e. cornering) and high speed stability. It doesn’t matter which wheels are driven.

i grab these at every opportunity. Free with purchase? Shit, I could always use another pair of $3 mechanics gloves

The power probe is my go-to electrical tester. i couldn’t even tell you where my normal test light is.

oxy-acetylene torches aren’t all that expensive. invested in a set years ago. worth every penny. and there’s no bolt that the hot wrench doesn’t fit!

I may be spoiled, but i love my lift.

gorilla tape is the choice of professionals here in my body shop

i’m happy to help a friend out by fixing something on their car, but i can’t stand it when they insist on “helping” me. this is how it usually goes:

I thought we weren’t allowed to lead with NSFW photos on our posts. That pic is pure pornography!

All the kids we hire in our detail dept learn the hard way to take the keys out of the Fords with the keypad on the door. When the wash mitt, brush or even water from the hose hits the keypad, the car thinks you are trying to enter the code. if you enter the wrong code 3 times, the doors lock. not hard to do when…

i was thinking more “hey here’s the last year’s Honda civic that you wanted”
