In my family we have 5 vehicles, 4 of which are over 200,000 miles and I would not hesitate to hop in any of them and cross the country in a heartbeat.  The other one is my wife’s DD an 06 Camry that is about to hit 190k.  Maintenance on Japanese cars (and my wife’s TJ Wrangler) is super easy and worth a little…

My dad bought a C280 new off the lot in 1996, drove it for 200,000 but finally got tired of putting $2-3000 into it every year so he sold it to my daughter who drove it another 50k then sold it to my son who got maybe 20k until through the unfortunate neglect of the two of them it died in the driveway, never to run…

Number 1 most annoying car myth that I hear even in this, the year 2021:

My mom sent me a variant of this article in her never-ending quest to convince me to stop riding my motorcycles and much as I asked her, I will ask the same question here; what are the parameters of a “high-powered” motorcycle and under what conditions is this a legitimate risk? My 97 KTM Duke has a…

My point is that given the physical size and strength of the chassis of a typical class C RV there would be plenty of room for more batteries to extend the range beyond 56 miles. I don’t understand why they would utilize such a small battery and assume the ICE would make up for it, just put a proper engine in it at…

OK while I have thoroughly enjoyed the few Guzzi’s that I have been lucky enough to ride, I’ve never really felt a lot of desire for one but wow looking at that green/silver V100? Yeah, my thing moved.

I’m not surprised by this, my guesstimation is based on the relative difference in scale between motorcycle engines which I am way more familiar with than automobile/truck engines.

I mean, you are deleting 700-900 lbs for a fully outfitted engine/transmission & 12v batteries plus the regular genset and house batteries would round that number out to an even 1k of weight savings and on top of that eliminating the fuel tank and a full load of fuel, not certain how the weight balance would be…

Other than leaving room for the black/grey water tanks beneath the floor, it seems like there would be an awful lot of room for a huge battery pack beneath an RV. Considering they are typically on heavier-duty truck or van chassis the weight wouldn’t be much of a problem, but I wonder what that would do to the cost of…

As someone who hasn’t played any Gran Turismo since ‘4, have any variants included the Beast of Turin? ‘Cause ngl that would induce me to finally upgrade beyond a PS3.

If you recall, the other two factions present who engage in the chase out on Fury Road are from the Bullet Farm and Gastown.

Considering I am in FL, I need the Doof Wagon to park outside the next trump/deathsantis rally to juice up the crowd with a little WAP and Old Town Road.  

Harley Davidson had a deal back in the 80's where if you bought an 883 Sportster (MSRP at the time was $3,995) and later decided to return and purchase a larger Big-Twin bike (then known as the Evolution engine) they would offer trade-in value for the Sportster of the original MSRP no matter condition or mileage.

So basically its the old SR-5 model but with a mish-mash of stuff from the Limited plucked out of the old parts bin.  Would make a decent jet-ski or small boat hauler down here in FL as long as you don’t dip the X-REAS rear end into the water on the boat ramp.  

According to the seller, you don’t get a title with this vehicle, you get a Girth Certificate.  

Lol you are sadly misinformed friend. While its true PPA gets funding from federal dollars, that money is very precisely separated from their abortion services and audited rigorously. Its almost like the people on the right can’t believe that there is an organization that honestly follows the rules because they…

My oldest daughter got caught up in this about 5 years ago and we are still working on restoring the early 80's class C she managed to drag out of a copart auction yard for “cheap”. As of just recently it finally runs without leaking any fluids and can sit still for a prolonged period of time without any parasitic…

Looking in that engine bay reminds me how much I loathe working on the 6.2l diesel in my Chevy G30 van. While its nice having access to the front and rear of the heads, the injectors and glow plugs are down by the exhaust manifolds and bound against the frame rails.  Working on vans sucks.  

The Electrical Gremlins and a Slight Fishy Aroma was the name of my mixed-gender indie-blues band back in college.

Labor day deals, seriously? I mean, who doesn’t hold out for Happy Honda Days?
