In many foreign markets, the same vehicles being sold here are available with manual transmissions. But Americans can be lazy and love automatics. Because of this, American buyers aren’t interested in buying manuals enough for dealerships to stock them on showroom floors. I get that, but at one time America’s…

Ok, regardless of how bone-headed the car owner is for having put the incorrect fuel into his car, the auto technician working on his car is 100% at fault. The auto tech is the professional and they have to own any mishaps that occur as long as the car is in their stewardship. Also, they should have disconnected the…

I’m going to leave this right here.  The car was good enough for Thomas Magnum.  Enough said.

The IKA Torino also used a Kaiser designed and AMC built Tornado engine which was one of the first overhead cam inline 6 engines. It’s strange because it used one lobe for both exhaust and intake valves. IKA was able to tune them for some serious horse power that AMC would have killed to get in the late 70s to early…

In all reality, if the franc wouldn’t have gone into nose-dive valuewise in the mid 80's (leading Renault to sell their 51% stake in AMC to Chrysler) AMC would have likely still merged with Chrysler but been the majority party and not get completely absorbed. In the 1980's all Chrysler had going for it was the…

I’ve always liked these cars and they are quite rare nowadays. They have really cool interiors with the jet fighter control panel (similar to the one used on the Subaru Alcyone). Unfortunately, this one is an automatic which kills it a little for me but NP anyways.

These 2.7T engines are a mess and are well known for timing belt breakage, turbo failure, and oiling issues. Because the engine is so big in the engine bay this becomes a daunting task. I’ve had one of these and they are not worth it, especially when you can now get the same power (or even more) from a modern 3…

In 2004 it may have been under different ownership. Privately owned power plants aren’t the problem, they are very common and numerous.  Adding red tape by regulating the industry hampers innovation and slows down improvements. However, enforcement of failed infrastructure is a serious problem, especially in Michigan.…

This isn’t a repair, it’s a major infrastructure redesign.  This place was an outdated shithole of a dam.

I’m an engineer familiar with this site and burner’down has exactly the right idea.  That’s pretty much how it works.

The Edenville dam wasn’t deemed unsuitable until 2018 by NERC due to its lack of an emergency spillway.  The Sanford dam, which flooded Sanford (where Fieros Forever was located) was deemed satisfactory but failed due to the collapse of the upstream Edenville dam.

Not the cars, but the Super Duty 4 engines (especially with the rare 16V Cosworth head) are some of the most powerful NA four cylinder engines available.

I’ve seen this place when i was in Sanford ironically working at the dam (I’m an electrical engineer contractor and was working on new switchgear at the dam). This is really sad but I would still buy his 16v Super Duty Cosworth.

I own the 2 ton capacity safety underhoist stand to sure up my single post lift.  These are models you have to assemble your own which was confusing at first but was easy by the fourth.  I’ve used these to hold my car 5ft in the air for over a year and not been concerned......too much.

According to the story, the only reason Tyrrell went away from this design is that Goodyear wouldn’t continue to make tires for the small set of wheels.

While it’s a bummer for the people involved to have to wait for next year, perhaps by next year I will have my poop in a group and go to this........one day.

One word, Trash! CP

This is interesting but look at the metal and the jumper as they do this. Arc radios were actually built at the turn of the 20th century but not at these power levels. Arcs are literally high “enough” current to which it can jump through the medium of air to make a conductor. Doing this creates high heat which is why…

I agree that this protest was stupid and ill-advised regardless of reason but this isn’t automotive news and should be published on one of Gizmodo’s other sites, not Jalopnik.

This is a nice car at a good price but why not just wait the aforementioned couple of years and save $20K. CP.
