I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. These are fantastic used value when you pick them up as CPO/Used 3 years down the line. LoadedV8 versions can be had for as low as $30K. If you’re considering a large sedan from Acura, Buick, ,Lincoln even Lexus or its Genesis cousin, you should check out the K900

Yeah, you totally missed the point, which is that instead of replacing a system that costs $38,o00 per unit the Navy is using an OTS (and not even new) system that costs $39.95 and you probably have one knocking around at home.

I think Hammond got burnt out when it comes to such events.

If there was ever a track built to show why electric is better than ICE, Pike’s Peak is the one.

I’m not sure about the assumption that the thief or thieves want to sell it. Maybe they just want to possess super awesome meteor rock. Put it on their shelf. Maybe as a bookend.

Well, good. I’ve always been of the opinion that widespread fuckery on the fanbase’s part should lead to consequences for them regardless of work. Given how things have gone of late, I’d say the fanbase at large deserves to see the show canned.

Yes, for those of us who grew up with NO internet but 16mm and 8mm (soon to be Super-8mm) film recording, the idea that a dinky tiny itsy-bitsy device mounted on a dashboard of a car can record with such fidelity is simply...pleasant. Then again, that wall-mounted camera EVERYWHERE on the street is just...unsettling.

Bring back the Blackwood. The word’s changed! $100K+ trucks are OK and for some reason desired!

The firing order, front to back, of a Pentastar V6. One diagram online says, facing from the front of the car, cylinder 3 is on the left and 4 on the right. Another says the opposite. The only thing that is certain is that I have a misfire on cylinder 3. Do I buy two sparks and two coil pack or just singles? It’s a…

The heater controls in my Buick Apollo. They’re sliders that seemingly do nothing and everything at the same time. Push it to ‘off’ the blower motor runs push it to ‘vent’ the blower motor runs. It always runs, high or low as soon as you turn the key “click whrrrrrrr”.

My 82 D150 only has a five digit odometer, I assume it has only rolled over once, but you can never be sure.

151k miles on my Range Rover and it’s only been to the shop like 3 times.

I’m guessing that the poor schmuck who bought my Mazda6 after I traded it in will wonder:

The Smoking Tire is good because of Zack’s humor and the guests. Matt still comes off like a tool sometimes. I am sure he is a nice guy if you get to know him, but he shits on things for no reason a lot. The podcast has taken a serious dive since he started videoblogging all of them on youtube. He spends a lot of time…

I’m not a fan of that car, but please take a look at the way that 911's wheel arches blend in with the rest of the body work and the rocker panels and then compare it to the way this Mustang’s arches do none of those things.

One of the few parts of this build I’ll agree with you on. Matt mentioned his reasons a while ago for doing it this way, and I think it was along the lines of “This Is How I Did It If You Don’t Like It I Don’t Give A Shit Its My Car” which is fine enough... but dude.... no. IF the corners were rounded I could deal…

Those tacked on wheel arches look atrocious. Seriously, if you’re going to put time and effort into a build like that, why in the world would you leave that “this modification was done with a Sawzall and belt sander” look on the wheel arches?

LS swaps are baaaaaaassssssssiiiiiiiicccccccc

Yeah they weren’t honey bees you fuckstick. They were the type of bees helping to displace honey bees.
