Blowing up my feeds today is this Mazda RX7 based endurance racer.
Things I Didn't Do Today
I was very intrigued by this car. Vintage Mercedes coupe with a 4 speed.
Secret Worlds of Kinja
So I know there is live and let diecast for model cars and stuff, is there a planeopnik? I think there is photography one. As far as I can tell none of them, including Oppositelock, are directly linked from Jalopnik or the other main Kinja pages, is there a way to find out? Am I missing something really cool? Why are…
Me v. Ranger Rust Part II
3 Degrees out and only slightly warmer in my now heated, but not yet sealed up and insulated shop, work on the 97 Ranger continues. The bolts for the rusted on brackets have to attach to the frame, there is no back access because of the gas tank. I considered taking off the tank, but of course I had just filled it,…
Faith in Rust Restored--Thanks Ranger
So my son came home and said the 97 Ranger which I am letting him drive was making a funny noise. I look and there is a major list on the left rear. Having been under the truck before I know the leaf spring mount or bracket is pretty rusty. Investigation show that in fact the bracket has collapsed.
It's A Small World Department-This is What Started it All
So I am browsing the interwebs, looking for I don’t know what, and I stumble upon this picture. My brother, his 2nd car, painted in an unlikely BRE paint scheme in all its mid seventies glory.
Most Bang for for the Buck under $10k?
Simple as that, most driving fun. Is Miata always the answer? Old Mustang? C3 or C4 Corvette? A Triumph GT6 like Jalopnik recently featured? 80s or 90s RX or MR2? Porsche Boxster or 924-44?? Convince me, life is short, my funds are not unlimited, and I need a new adventure.
Let's Get This TRD Party Started
This is the Supra we really want:
OCD, Yeah You Know Me
So somehow in the building of garage Majal a built in, hard wired clock in the kitchen stopped working.
DOTS Parking Garage Edition
I see this car most everyday. Back when I was looking at cars for my son about six years ago, the cheapest running, driving cars I could find were often ZX2s, still hanging on, but roached out within an inch of their lives.

Kinja Feed Fix
Really a work around. Couple of people have complained about the comments feed not linking to the posts any more. If you scroll down and hit “view all notifications” it works right. Happy New Year fellow Opponauts, we will continue to improvise and survive in this virtual jungle.
Period Piece
There is a lot of talk about analog this and digital that with cars these days. Here is an old analog thing I picked up at an antique store that was going out of business a few months ago. It seems to fit the vibe of our mid fifties house very well.
In Defense of The Flaps Guy
We often make fun of the poor FLAPS guy, who can’t look up a part without year make and model “I need a plug one grade hotter than a NGK BPR6ES” or whatever, but I have to say I felt sorry when I stopped by O’Reilly’s on Sunday and the guy next to me “needed a spark plugs for his log splitter”. “Uh, who makes the…
DOTS Pacer Edition
I work near the state DMV (which handles the registration of antique and historic vehicles) and also a shop that will work on older stuff, it has its sightseeing benefits.
Analog vs. Digital
Is there really any debate?
Your Chimera?
That dream that won’t go away, but will probably never be achieved. For me it is an e type. Had a few very close calls where I probably could have made a purchase happen, but for various reasons didn’t pull the trigger.
