Why does that name sound familiar?

3- Frustrated 80's Dodge turbo car owners that were shit on with the Caliber, then gained a little hope that there might be an SRT version of the Dart and now are likely to buy a Ford.

Might want to check the axle seal on that right rear while you’re there.

For something like the jeep with such a short wheelbase it might be better on that trailer backwards, engine and weight is over the trailer axles and the rearend is still heavy enough that you’ve got 10% on the tongue.

Wisconsin has some where both lanes can exit, typically these are on intersections where most traffic is continuing straight and crossing a less busy secondary road.

At $9.89/lb vs $12.59/lb for the CTS, the XT5 is a better deal for sure.

Saw similar on a 90's Mazda 323, came into the quick lube I worked at during high school with 43k miles and it was the first oil change. Nothing came out when I pulled the drain plug, used a screwdriver to puncture the film built up on the bottom of the pan and got maybe a quart of goo out.

Hitting something while driving at night is my irrational fear. It’s gotten worse with time and if out in the middle of nowhere driving late at night I’ll probably be braking for every tree or mailbox that my brain is telling me looks like a deer.

Especially in a small car like a Yaris it pays to keep an eye on traffic behind you.

I wonder what the rules are? I would use one of those trick tractors with a reverse operators station and own this silly contest.

Detriot’s underground Kangaroo boxing scene is real

Painted flames on my 1980 Olds Toronado back when I was in High School. That plus air shocks cranked all the way up was cool in my mind back then.

Car must be clean for that single portrait oriented photo of the car taken from a 3rd story balcony through a dirty screen.

There isn’t enough room for a nutbreaker, but in a pinch you can slip a pipe over the end of the bolt and just pry on it until it breaks. Usually they shear off pretty easily, but it’s also good for a bloody knuckle or two.

On the 2.2's the trick is to just hope the exhaust bolts break. I usually use a long extension and impact wrench set to tighten and they shear right off. The starters suck, especially on the 85 and older ones that had the bolts going in from the starter side. A 12" extension and flex head ratchet make a huge…

I used to hate doing oil changes on 4cyl ones. You would get the filter off easy enough, but to get it out of the engine bay required maneuvering it along the axle out into the wheel and back around. Usually it meant making a mess because you can’t keep the filter upright the whole time.

You’re half way to replacing the timing belt with that job, been there decided to do both while I was at it.

1.) The battery is a 5 minute job, sure it’s not as easy as some cars, but of all the things on the PT this wasn’t one that I swore at.

Those are the most fun if it’s a conversion van with lots of extra wood parts glued to the doghouse making impossible to remove.

You can do the plugs without removing the cab, but that’s the common way to do head gaskets.
