This is so inspiring. I sold my bright yellow Mazda Protege 5 for a black Scion TC. I really miss having a bright fun car and hate trying to keep the black car clean and shiny. I have been contemplating a wrap, but do not trust my skill to do it myself. I love the upgrades and customizing you are doing!  

In the 70's my dad had a Dodge Aspen that had the wrong carb installed. He was unaware until he had taken the car in for work and they offered to put the correct one on for free, he declined. He is not a big car guy and has no idea what was on it but claims it was “very fast” and still talks about how cool it was.

When I was a preteen my step father had a late 70's Cadillac with a huge V8, we used to pull a 30' Airstream in unrivaled comfort. I will never forget the softness of those seats, deep soft foam in multiple layers covered in velour *chef kiss.

Especially if you investigate the bs behind him and his work. Complete fraud, deceiver, and slime ball.

Also 83 and Celica Supra was my first thought!

Princess Auto for almost everything! For my non-Canadian friends they are like Harbor Freight (but I’ve heard P.A. is a little higher quality), plus EVERYTHING they sell has a money back guarantee. I’m not a making a living of them so I don’t need the best stuff.

“ I stared at Neon-sourced HVAC controls”

This is exactly the type of BS I love talking about with car guys. Totally irrelevant, but fun to joke about. I really love you took the extra step and had the math done, even if just using approximations. Great article Torch!

Years ago my head chef told me her “ages old, Italian heritage” family secret for calamari was to soak them for 24 hours in milk, salt and pepper. I swore an oath of secrecy, I broke it very soon because everyone deserves to know how to cook good food!  

1983 Hyundai Ondeki (made up word) Hatchback, electric rear motor AWD, known to be fast but with shitty build quality

Canada too eh! ZED or death

Here is my parents from about a month ago, my sister got t-boned. Dad is sad his car is dead, mom is happy it’s gone along with all the maintenance bills.

I agree completely. I am a chef, I used cast iron at home and camping very often, simply for the ease of being able to take it from the stove top to in the oven, or on the outdoor grill or firepit. I wash my pans every time with hot water and steel wool then a light wipe with flaxseed oil. The myth that I hate the…

Unless your knives are very old, cheap steel, or hand forged they are made of stainless steel and shouldn’t rust even if you store them in saltwater.

How about the Williams/Singer/Porsche 4 liter 500hp N.A. air cooled flat six? That engine still blows my tiny mind. Otherwise a very well constructed list of amazing engines, great job Kristen.

RV are used mostly in the summer, when its hot, white reflects some of the heat, and no one wants to drive around in or pull a big plain white box. I have a pre-swoopy era (1993) trailer with stripes, it’s slightly better looking than swoops. I’d love to paint it two tone with darker colors, but without ac I want to…

As soon as I read the headline I knew. Congrats and thanks for all the great comments, I always enjoy reading your comments. 

Me too, it was the first online multi-player I really got into. I played for a long time, until matchmaking was nearly impossible due to the lack of other players.

I was jumping on the Suzuki train with ticket in my hand until I saw that Toyota. That is a tough choice the ‘Zuk is light, nimble, and inexpensive. That Toy is beautiful though; great color, nice subtle wheels, snorkel scoop...I’m drooling.
