Like I said, pretty good for the day in first up to about 4000RPm or ~50KMH. And that was it. I wish my mom had let my dad order the manual.

That sounds like the test drive I took.

You’re lucky you didn’t get the 3-speed wheez-o-matic. Growing up we had a Corsica with the 3.1, it pulled like a train up to about 4000RPM.

Obviously.

I’m actually pretty fortunate to already own one of my boring dream cars, a 2008 SRT4. Let’s just say, don’t meet your heroes. (not my car pictured)

If it wouldn’t require upgrading the house service first to the tune of $5000, It would have already been done.

My brother had an 87, just a 2-door though. It died the most Canadian death ever. It got hit by a Zamboni right in the a-pillar.

Unfortunately, GM would have never been able to pull that off without fucking it up.

To be perfectly honest, I do my best not to have to touch a wrench during the winter. When it’s almost -40, the last thing I want to do is go out into the unheated, uninsulated garage. There’s something about the burning cold of tool steel that far below zero that’s not for me.

Actually, it is. Assuming the Hilux is comparable to a Tacoma and it’s not heavily modified. A 2017 Raptor weighs in at up to 5800lbs and a top of the line taco weighs in at a bit under 4400.

I’m sure all the lobbyist groups that funded the various levels of elected criminal justice officals whom also support Rand were making a lot of phone calls to remind their tools, I mean supported officials of their stance.

Looking at the other comments here, I’m glad I live somewhere that recycling automotive oil related products has been habit for as long as I’ve tinkered with cars. It blows my mind that people would consider throwing oil and oil filters out as acceptable.

I would like to be impressed, but older Civic engine swaps are probably the easiest to do on modern cars by a mile. With a few exceptions everything fits onto and into everything else. If it doesn’t fit, there’s probably an aftermarket part for it. Like the power steering bracket he’s using, that’s a regularly…

Honda’s haven’t had exhaust manifolds in several years. Their integral to the cylinder head, so there isn’t anything to change.

Well, the backwards shithole I live in still has 100kmh speed limits until the far western edge. Oh, and traffic lights fucking everywhere.

The later explosions were probably blevies, see also bleve. Boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion. Basically a hot enough fire outside of a tanker will heat up the fluid inside until the increased pressure blows out the tank.

This prairie kid has only driven on the 401, once. That was almost enough for me to never go back to southern Ontario. Doing 120 and a semi blows by you like you’re going 20 under the speed limit.

Almost any vehicle of that vintage is all but guaranteed to fold like a wet noodle in an accident.

That was an analogy.

Sounds like typical American built car quality.
