Still the best car I’ve ever owned. I abused the ever loving hell out of my 1982 RX-7, and it still made it to 290,000 miles before the seals started losing compression.

Also, with just a little bit of tweaking to the primary and secondary carb jets, you can pull 30mpg on the highway easily. Lean the primary, put in a…

Would someone please buy this Rambler? Every time I browse craigslist it haunts me, just sitting there unwanted. It’s wrong, I tell you.

I was an EPA subcontractor for several months, so my experience is limited, but at least in the time I was there (2010) a gag on communication would’ve been bizarre and unheard of.

In the past year I’ve accumulated more knowledge about 7th Gen Civics than I could’ve ever wanted. Bought one in January and I’ve spent easily over $1000 and countless labor hours rebuilding it. And I’m still not done. But that’s its own article.

7th Gen is the worst Honda Civic. Here’s a short list of things that…

In 2003, I took a friend and his girlfriend to a rave in Atlanta, one of those “starts at 2 AM Sunday” kinds of things at Studio Central.
