“I’d like to order one in red, please.”

Parts bin special.... and OLD parts bin special, those wheels look exactly like the 02-05 20"

Some people enjoy tarting up a v6 to the point that they spank most v8s allowing for even more shit talking and bragging rights.

Sadly, the manual Chevettes of the era could actually be a fair amount of fun for what they were. I had a ‘79 Chevette “Scooter” model with the 4 speed manual, which was the stripped entry-level model (it had a plastic filler plate where the radio would go, just to remind you how cheap you were). However, it also got…

However, apparently it’s super easy to swap a small-block into one of these.

As always, thanks for the thoughtful insight, Tyler.

In 1997ish I’m driving to work at ~0200 (call center life yo) in a white 91 Prelude when a white C3 Vette blows past me somewhere in the triple digits and ducks off a left exit. Didn’t think much on it. A couple minutes later the highway patrol screams up on my rear all lit up. Pull over wondering WTF is going on.…

i screwed myself with this one

I have this theory that “Check Engine Lights” are scams to keep us coming back to the dealership/mechanic. Nothing is more annoying than when you pay the shop $75 to basically turn the light back off and tell you “it was an error, there is nothing wrong with your vehicle. Must be a bad sensor.” This problem has…

I took my car in for a routine oil change (yea yea change your own oil - didn’t have the space or tools at the time), and as soon as I got home I noticed that my car was leaking oil at an alarming rate. I took it back to the shop make sure everything was put back properly and I was told that my entire oil cooler had…

This was about 10 years ago, my first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Bronco. An old midwest hunting truck, so mechanically perfect, cosmetically... ehhh, not so much. But the rust hadn’t compromised the cabin and was mostly in the usual truck spots: fenders, tailgate, rocker panels, etc. $1,300 for American V8 reliability?…

Nice Saab story.

I bought a $1600 Porsche 944. It had rough paint and interior, but ran well, so I was fairly happy for a well-running car. Turns out the engine computer would work fine for about 45 minutes at a time, then would start overheating and leave me stranded. Took me a year and a dozen breakdowns to figure that one out...

Dad, is that you?

That looks really good. I give it a massive thumbs up.

Probably. It looked like he was approaching way too quickly even if his brakes were working. He should’ve been able to figure out WAY back that they weren’t going to help and pushed the air release, and or geared down like it was going out of style. Although he would’ve been skidding on his rear axles, his fronts…

In Soviet Russia, Ford come to YOU for Bronco.

Looks like if ICON was to make a Niva.
