Well a few people are able to find restore and bank on other’s romance for a nice profit. But they're the exception, not the rule.
The new owners can only improve it from what it has become. Maybe Jalopnik will be mostly about cars again, and Giz might actually have some tech on it rather than some shitty comic book hero cross posts and bogus articles about environmental bullshit. What happens to the rest of it? Down the toilet. Maybe by thinning…
Fucking Gawker, screwing up the good stuff.
I'm more concerned about those basic 3 point seat belts than the hand gesture
Be happy in your work.
It is part of the design of the engine. Keeping the catalytic converters close to the heads keeps the engine warm for hours, and cuts down on start up emissions, as well as engine wear from a dead cold engine. On mornings when it is more than 20F, the core block is still warmer to the touch than the accessories…
I actually think you’ve hit upon this car’s purpose in life which is rolling up to the DMV for a driving test. I’d rent it out to kids just so they could do that. It would be awesome.
what the hell am I looking at there?
Have you been to India? There are like 2 cars with catalytic converters, and both of those have been stolen.
Because then they wouldn’t have a video.
Well since my stock LS1 Camaros are useless anyways (got new headers and O/R y-pipe) due to them being rusted through and leaking, should I sell the metal in the cats? My mechanic told me to wait a few years when prices go back up again.
A fun family project.
Just popped in to pick a nit. The catalytic converter doesn’t filter or trap, it catalyzes. It provides a substrate that facilitates reactions that break down unwanted byproducts of combustion. Nothing is trapped in the catalyst, it is reacted to something less harmful and released.
If it makes it home.
No, 4995 is right. You’ll have 1000$ in repairs needed by the time you get it home.
If only there were some very large and very clear way to tell who was correct.
Lol.
Its nice feeding trolls the poison of accurate facts and reasonable opinion, plus there are many who will read those replies and learn something new.
