I disagree with you about requiring mandatory vehicle inspections under the argument that it is the owner’s responsibility to make sure their vehicle is in good working condition. If the owner fails to do this and the vehicle causes damage or harm to themselves or others, they (the owner) are at fault and have to deal…

If the WRC cars go this direction and they a more competitive than the current vehicles, I am all about the move to electrification. But they have to be able to do all the transit miles and stage miles, however they do that. Also, they need to use standard although modified body structures, ie no tube frames. The…

Then they realized it was a 1987 Camaro and put it back.

$3500 is a little steep for a car with very little real world value. But as a fan of both Group A renault sport 11 Turbo cars and Monsieur Ragnotti, I seriously want to buy this. If you don’t know what I referencing above just check out so video footage of the 1987 Portuguese Rally. 

As stated by others already, the motor portion of the EV swap is the easy part. By stating as the headline does that I , “Don’t really have an excuse anymore” is over simplistic and frankly a little insulting. The technology that EV West has developed is impressive but it is a solution to a problem that people were…

Oh the splendors of bureaucracy. California may be the worst state to be a car enthusiast. If I find myself ever living there, I’ll definitely be getting a Montana PO Box.

“Why would any man in his right mind be bothered by wet ass pussy? They’re delicious sex staples. The Anthony Davis of fucking. And, even if you had celiac disease, there are gluten-free options.”

Instead of doing a remake, they should make it a sequel movie about an aging Michael Knight and an out-of-date KITT still at it.

Jason, owning that Fulvia would be like sex except I’d be having it.

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.
