My dad bought a brand new Mustang II in 1974 (don’t judge, please) and the first thing he had me, his mechanically inclined son, do was to disconnect the interlock.

Nice piece. Your enthusiasm is what keeps me coming back to read your posts. Please. Keep them coming.

A buddy had one, back in the mid 80s, and the pumps weren’t readily available and they cost a small fortune. You could get them rebuilt, but even that was a $600 proposition.

They’re 35 years old and many states will allow antique plates at 25, so yeah.

It’s a car, but it’s also a rolling lesson in mechanical fuel injection. Make sure you keep some cash around for the inevitable and recurring fuel injection pump rebuild.

People get away with bullshit only when other people don’t call them on it. Being the person that does so is a legitimate role in a group. I’m generally regarded as “polite and reasonable”, but that doesn’t mean I have to be a pushover.

It took me a bit to realize that we have a surprising number of devices attached to our home network, which prompted me to rearrange things a little.

I’ve worked for great CEOs and shitty CEOs. Trust me, when you’re working under a shitty one, you’d pay pretty much anything to get a good one.

I live not far from wine country here in NorCal, so I see tons of rental cars. Most of them are cruising up 101 after dark with their lights off. I think the drivers don’t realize they don’t have lights on because the instrument cluster is lit up and they seem some feeble glow out of the front of the car.

Excellent article. Thank you! Minor nitpick on the headline: What velocity stacks are and why you want them on your car might work better. The “What are Velocity stacks” part of your current headline sounds like a question.

Sorry to inconvenience you while you’re busy wasting time on Deadspin.

And if you fly regularly, the $70 or whatever it is to get TSA Pre-Check on every flight is well worth it. Shoes on, laptop stays in the bag, no liquids removed, usually just a metal detector. If you fly more than a couple times a year, just do it and skip all the bullshit in this entire article every time you fly.

Except that some of us are forced to fly for work. And with Southwest flights starting at $50, you don’t exactly have to be rich to fly anywhere - provided one can plan ahead a couple months. Super budget airlines like Frontier are even cheaper.

Yeah. I spotted a 72K 911 with full service history and a replaced IMS for like $22K. Because of the headlights and internet hysteria around the IMS. People are silly.

Take advantage of the low prices on them. 914s were sorely unloved, but look what’s happening to prices now. Same for the 944.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a government issued metal plate with a unique identifier on both the front and rear of the car? And then Uber could put it right in the middle of the screen next to the type of car.

Last comment. Go down to HF and buy one of those parts washers and stop cleaning oily shitty parts in your sink. All that toxic crap winds up in the wastewater treatment plant.

I have a two car garage and 6. By the time I’ve got my lift in there, my workbenches, storage shelves and everything, it’s pretty tight. My garage is only 20x20, which sucks. We’ve been in this house for about 18 years now and I think we’ve only squeezed my wife’s old Miata in there one time. Other than that, car…

You can get more money. You can’t ever get more time.

I think she’s got a big black binder clip stuck to the back of her head under that weave (Bump-it?). It’s the only way I can explain those features.
