My findings based on 1/4 mile time:

In the case of this 55 Chevy, the answer is 12.

I believe it likely has to do with Car and Driver titling a Chevette review “the most important car Detroit has made” then proceeding to call it a shitbox I’m the opening paragraph.

Last I checked iron SBCs were about 575LBs, iron BBCs about 700, aluminum LSs 450, and aluminum BBCs 550. So they actually SHED weight with this swap. 750LBs would have to be including transmission.

Dear Doug,

Based on the instructions from the last two companies HR departments that I’ve worked at, here is the scale:

The GCW us damned near the medium duty L600 in 1969:

Green-wreck-checker finishes are one of the major reasons I stopped watching NASCAR after decades of following the sport and seeing the races live. They are well intentioned but in reality it turns 395 miles of careful race management into 5 miles of whomever gives the least fucks about whoever is around him wins.

You can see the bushings compress just before the car moves.

I like your style.

I don’t have a problem with most store brand stuff, especially Costco Kirkland, but one place I find branding unusually significant is cheese. Store brand cheese is always drier and doesn’t melt as consistently as name brand.

What I don’t understand is why it’s basically a $35/transaction fee to take the money from my savings account instead. If you have the money in thier hands but it’s just not in the right place you’d think the fees would be far smaller.

Coming from California, you can turn into whatever open lane there is if you’re in the outer lane. Eg 2 lanes to 3, lane 1 must stay in lane 1 but lane 2 can do 2 or 3. More annoying is people turning right on red in front of traffic and not accelerating.

Originally I was strongly against self driving cars. But since I’ve moved to Virginia I’m thinking as a society we’re ready. Because seriously, drivers here suck ass.

There was a gate. Keyword being was.

Distance wise, doodlebug drag racing has that beat. (Full pull is three feet)

This was the view from my “seat” in 2012:

I think my 2002 Dakota’s value took a massive jump in 2005.

Honestly, the way I would redesign this would be to have a solenoid latch and hold the lever all the way forward when park is engaged and release when you can shift out.
