You laugh, but a bank I worked at was still using a similiar one in the early 90’s. The first time I saw the IBM tech come in, I thought there was a vehicle broken down in the loading doc or something. He had a 3/4" ratchet he used to work on that thing. They could actually take the top off the thing and replace the…

How about the old trash 80's with their oh so speedy cassette tape drives.

Say what you will about new cars vs. old cars (btw, I love classics), but if not for the crumples zone and airbags, this lady would not have made it long enough for the paramedics to arrive in an older 60's body on frame vehicle. That crap you hear from guys my age sprouting about how you could walk away from an…

Read this article, which is what I based my observation on.

While this is a step, it is actually a baby step. Why? Infrastructure. Not Tesla, but the electrical grid and power generation facilities.

If you think Takata shrapnel is bad, wait till your Jag smashes its whole steering wheel into your face at 200mph.

Always loved the look of the mid-80's BMW 5 series. Yeah it is lacking in the hp over its i brethren, but it still looks good for its age. Stroke the engine a bit and adding a light boost would replace those missing ponies and then some.

For that Victoria mentioned in the article, this would be a good time to do a master cylinder swap if it has not been done. I broke a brake line on an old ‘55 Chevy Wagon with a single reservoir master cylinder once and man that was scary. And while you can stop it with the emergency brake, it was not fun, especially…

Quick someone call Alexander Shunnarah!


For you non-southerners, this guy has just about cornered the billboard market in Alabama and adjoining states. To say he is prolific in his billboard advertising is an understatement. I have personally seen 4 billboards within sight of each other advertising his law firm.

A Tesla S may look elegant, but that thing does not. That rear greenhouse reminds me of a Pacer, in a fugly way. Sorry, I would not want a ride in that thing, even after my body is rotting shell of a once proud thing of beauty.

Now that is the Prowler we are looking for.

Knock 10 grand off the price so I can purchase a few things like a new interior, some decent period style rims and swap out that old three speed for a newer Tremac. Maybe tune the engine.

Crack Pipe for that price.

Maybe if Musk treated the employees correctly, they might not be as quick to unionize. Just a thought there. Treat the employees fairly, pay them competitive wages and ensure safe working conditions, but that is probably a foreign concept to Rockefeller jr. there.

Too bad I am tapped out on the extra cashola right now, because I love Jeepsters, no matter which production run.

Yeah, would have loved some Old West style trick riding there.

At first I was against fully autonomous cars, for various reasons, but as I am getting older and I live in an area with spotty public trans, I have come to realize that a fully autonomous vehicle will be nice once I truly get old. I won’t have to depend on others if my health deteriorates later in life.

Yeah the classic guys are way too serious about shit like that. Especially the “pure” car crowd. Some of them shit a brick if you put in a non-original displacement engine from the same manufacturer. Had that happen when I replaced a straight 6 with a 327 on a ‘55 Chevy Sedan Delivery. But that was not as bad as the…

Careful or you might be inundated with his latest treatise on Beetle Taillights.

Carb with a manual choke, spark plugs mounted in the tailpipe and wired to a switch mounted in the dash. Rev it high, choke it down a little and flip the switch. But you never heard that from me.

Seriously though, I did run this setup back in the 80's on a ‘55 Chevy 2 Door Sedan Delivery. One of the few cars I have…
