My cat hated car rides until we stopped keeping him in a crate/box/etc and let him roam around the cab like the dogs. Now he acts just like a dog

Hence my averages up there ;)

In my case, I do not own a diesel truck yet. We tow a 2 horse trailer with a Dakota. As awesome as a Cummins would be, a similarly specced 2500/3500 is priced out of our range compared to the 1500 - even with the EcoDiesel. We also don't need the amount of capability that an ISB provides, and most likely won't for…

He is right and wrong. Forced induction engines lose less at elevation than their naturally-aspirated counterparts. Simulated atmosphere greatly helps overcome rarified air. Whereas the average atmospheric loss at 6,000 ft for a NA engine is around 30-35%, FI engines sit around 8-12%. Obviously the higher you go…

1987 Saab 900 Turbo SPG. It has nearly 350k on the odometer. The head gasket finally took a dump on me last summer, so I'm taking the opportunity to perform a top-down resto mod. I got all the extra bits torn off and readied the engine / trans assembly for removal before I lost my job and winter came. Here's how…

The 454SS was a goddamn burnout machine

It's a step in the right direction, but is still run by Honda's proprietary backbone. I'm envisioning something that has nothing to do with the vehicle manufacturer at all (except the installation). Leave the environment to the people who design them for a living, and have done so for years. Basically a "second…

I helped my friend pull a (mostly loaded) water truck out of a huge mud pit using his S-10 ZR2. It's amazing what some intelligence and patience can do :)

Huh, I never noticed the bumper; I reached straight for the eye bleach after glancing at the grill.

I'd never expect the Raptor or Reaper or Reaver or Rampage or Ram Jam or other "R" related macho truck names that may ever be used to be subtle. They are what they are; kitted out trucks designed for awesome duty. The big FORD on the front of the Raptor may be a bit on the gaudy side, but at least it fits with the…

It's still ugly as sin. The Raptor pulls off machismo without issue. This truck is trying too hard.

Oh, that reminds me! To compound on that damned Focus - it slides everywhere, even on snow tires. I cannot make it up my own damned driveway
