I knew a guy with CCWs (locks on his wheels) that came out to his car with all but one wheel off of the car lying next to it. He mustve scared them off. He ended up buying 5 sets of wheels locks, each wheel had a different lock on it.

Cleveland Pick a Part (changing their name to something else soon) is the place that sells all these wonderful gokarts and other parts from wrecked cool cars.
its Cleveland Pick a Part that sells these cars and why they got #5 in the top 10 Junkyards (cough *per my recommendation* cough)
I think a lot of people want to "haggle" a little bit to feel like they are getting a good deal. "oh the sticker says $25k? I wont pay over $20k for this thing." then they end up paying $23k and feel good about themselves. I know scion does the no haggle price on their cars but people want to feel like they got the…
Make it interesting. Every 100 votes gets a "Fan Boost" but the drivers have no idea when it happens. 100 votes, instant boost. Mid corner at part throttle, BOOST! On the brakes so just before a corner, BOOST! Passing someone on the straight, no boost... its not that easy or convenient.
My buddy works for AEM and tuned the car, he said it was an LS7.
My wifes 06 WRX has a center mounted tach (not sure if its all WRXs after hers), so do Evo VIII and IX. I love center mounted tachs!
I wanted to buy myself a brand new muscle car when I got out of the military. I had saved up a bunch of money and could've paid cash for what I wanted. So I started looking around. Mustangs, just didn't have very good pull and the interior looked like crap. The Charger was a 4 door and not available in manual…
Hounds tooth interior?! I really like this idea as an option and should be available on more cars. The R-Line looks and sounds badass too.
I keep all receipts for everything I do, then I keep a journal with the mileage and date of what I did. I started doing it with my GTO because I bought it brand new and wanted to keep track. Then I decided to do it on my BMW after I bought it.
Cleveland Pick a Part in Cleveland. It seems like the only have cool cars at their junkyards. Vipers, vettes, GTOs, Camaros, Challengers, Chargers, 300Cs, and the like. Want an LS swap for your RX-7 (who doesn't?!), they have it. Want a set of viper wheels for your dodge dakota, they have it. Want a viper chassis with…
I didn't see the van after the accident but my sister and mom were both ok after. My sister was really young and sitting in the passenger seat, my mom was driving.
My mom had one of these vans. I think sitting over the front tires messed with her a bit (she wasn't a great driver anyway) but she smacked the pole in our underground parking with the passenger side sliding door a FEW times. She would turn too early, and WHAM, she would hit the pole, then shrug it off because it was…
I learned a few things building my 96 AWD Talon
A guy I work with just bought one of these and totally restored it... I think they are cool but not worth dumping any real money into because of the anemic V8 that's in them. They 80s were not kind to V8s. For the money, you could get something a lot faster and cooler, I think. The lightning rod shifter is pretty…
When I broke the U-joint in my 74 K5 blazer (side stepped the clutch..), I just unbolted the rest of the driveshaft and drove it home in 4x4. My dad said his buddy did this in high school and drove the truck that way for years.
Senor Spielbergo!
1997 F150 4x4 with the 4.6L v8. It had a CEL for the EGR, that I replaced then learned that the intake mani had to be cleaned (not going to happen). The front end ate tires like a $2 whore gobbled penis on $0.25 night even after the balljoints and wheel bearings were replaced (thanks halfassed IFS system) . It was…
