LOL. Very true. I still averaged 10mpg with EFI and the overdrive trans. My 88 F150 with 302, only 2wd, also got 10mpg :D The last day I drove my 93, it ran the best it ever did (was temperamental) and gave me an astounding 16mpg average while doing 75-85mph over 250 or so miles. It really tried to stay in my life.

For $3,500 can’t do much better than a Suzuki Samurai. They are small, lightweight (good for sand), cheap, reliable, and fun to drive.

Not sure either. I imagine you typically had to be in a lower end model to get the six with a stick. That said, is there really THAT much difference between a mid-range and top-end? :D Once you get carpet and power windows/locks, it’s pretty minimal upgrades after that.

But then you couldn’t get the 351. To me, the 351+auto trumps the 302+manual as that extra power/torque is worth it. Of course you could swap a trans or swap a motor and create something better but then it’s a project :D

Yeah, as that IRS made that KIA sedan so damn slow as well.

In general it’s not a problem. Though I still see it occasionally for stand alone computers doing one task, like a video recorder, or information display where there are parts of the screen that never change. Can also happen with a start menu on a PC or Apple Bar / tray on Mac. Also another issue I have had, is my…

My problems in order:

Check out sites like Catchafire https://www.catchafire.org/. There are plenty of remote opportunities to help, and you can narrow by areas that you are good at, among other things. Also since you are volunteering, it’s a great time to get experience in a NEW area you want learn about. For me, I connected with a local…

The whole username/password thing is a terrible system and we have to just find a way to make it work. Password managers go a LONG way for two main reasons. 1. To encourage you to use strong passwords, hopefully random passwords and ~12+ characters in length. For me, I only know about 2 passwords to 200+ sites in my…

Traveled to Japan, fell in love with Japanese toilet seats (warm seat + cleaning), then started house remodeling, added electric outlet & new toilet, installed $400 bidet seat, enjoy it, wife hates it, now sits in a closet :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

It has to be specific models and options. For example, I just fully spec’d a new Wrangler Rubicon exactly like my buddy’s 2017. It was $43k sticker, the 2018 is $44k sticker but I think I added a $800 option he didn’t have (cross traffic/backup alerts). So a 2door near fully loaded Rubicon is essentially the same…

I learned this does work from my arrive and drive team a couple years back. Got a cheap backpack water bag from Walmart, and strap/velcro it around the roll cage, running the line up under the helmet.

Hmm.. I always assumed they were dynamically generated based on key words in the headline/article/category. My comment also was partly in jest, as recommended stories are often related, but not always :)

Also nice, the related stories are very much related for a change!

It probably has an automatic transmission, so nobody wants it.

I think the better way to say it is, it is “out”, as in one or two have got into the hands of the owners. I don’t think any are sitting at dealers, unless it’s like a major Corvette specialist dealer.  Mind you, I am getting my info just from Google like a regular joe :D

The article is misleading. Only the 2019 ZR1 is out. Everything else is 2018.

There are a fuck ton of people out there that just want a stupid quick toy or DD that is reliable. This solves that. Plunk down $80k, drive it home, drive it to dinner, drive it across country. Try obtaining hte same results by building a car and either you’ll spend your life in the garage and/or spend more than $80k…

That was the joke
