I temp’ed at a CNC manufacturing company that made the bodies for the windshield wiper motor. We inspected every freaking unit 100% on a CMM. Yeah, parts are gonna be expensive.....

Wow, you’re really talented........just don’t quit your day job yet...

In 1962, VW type 1's used a simple, crude swing axle. I can imagine with all the horsepower this build has, you can easily get into a LOT of trouble!

I can only assume that he never drove a heavy truck. Not only is descending a steep hill in “Georgia Overdrive” illegal, it’s unsafe as well.

Yes, seriously! The pic at top shows neither a 1902 Locomobile nor a 1905 White, and I doubt it even shows the Cuneos, either. it’s just a stock photo of some guy wearing a chauffeur’s cap and 3 ladies riding along. Nobody at Gawker seems to even TRY anymore.

I notice you used a Mazda GLC in your photo-montage. A friend once owned one of these things. He had to junk it when the frame rotted completely through when it was only 6 years old.....

Wow, what a stupid post. Instead of just spending 30 seconds to brush the snow off, you’re going to go grab an appliance, start it, wake up your neighbors, then put the thing away? I’d already be 5 blocks away by the time you are finished, and I wouldn’t have wasted any electricity/gas either.

Could you imagine if they’d kept the flat-crank layout?

Best radio conversation today was with Alonso. The team leader told him if he pushed, he could make a point. “I have 1800 points” he replied......

Nah, I thing “Dueling Banjos” would be a better soundtrack......

As a kid growing up, I thought the 4-door and wagon Valiants were just plain ugly. The 2- door wasn’t quite as bad, but that ain’t sayin’ much! Really, only old people liked these things when they were new...

Is that your brother with the blonde “Joey Ramone” hair, or yourself?

Wow....I guess I never realized how mechanically clueless most millenials are....

Probably 1/1000th/second on film that has been ‘pushed’ to a higher speed, hence the reduced contrast. Because of the slanting of the wheel, I can tell you it’s not a modern focal-plane shutter, but rather an older diaphragm shutter. I would assume that this shot was taken with an expanding-bellows type tripod-mount ca…

An air-horn is that horn-shaped intake you used to see on top of carburetors on racing cars (see cosworth V8), 1 per barrel of each carb.

And in a further non-sequiter, I’m going to put fenders on my bicycle today....

I’d bet you’d get even more power with just an air-horn and no filter......

I guess you never got the email. Cops are assholes. That’s all...

Won’t get you under most bridges here in NY!

Works about 80% of the time. For those on which it doesn’t, I just wait until winter, then repair them all at once.
