I cannot recommend highly enough ”The Birth of Hot Rodding”, a great book about salt flat and dry lake racing from its very beginnings through the early 1950s. The history is compelling and the photos are absolutely fabulous - and lots and lots of early amateur belly tank racers!
That sounds good but it just isn’t true.
I’m not sure what “ventilators” you are looking at, but a high-acuity hospital ventilator generally costs between $30,000 and $50,000.
The house should have been involved from the start! The reason it wasn’t was so the GOP white house could “negotiate” a bill with the GOP controlled senate giving them both all they wanted - then they thought they could force the house to accept it as is or look like they were holding up the stimulus bill. And sadly, b…
We have president who proudly and openly used defaulting on loans, shorting contractors, and bankruptcy as a business tactic. I suspect many buyers when when explained these loan tactics think they are learning some new financial trick that all rich people use to get fancy new possessions.
They are laying low until they finish building their first nuclear weapons. And thanks to the impeached moron in the White House, there is no longer any outside monitoring of their progress, and they are even more motivated to finish and test them as soon as possible.
The first time I went to the Pebble Beach car show in the late 80s it felt like the words greatest cars and coffee - then celebrity watchers created a need for heavy security and forced up ticket prices. Its a sad phenomena.
I’m on my second Jaguar XJ and I love it! But I’m also not keen on where the Jaguar product line seems to be heading. However I am oddly fascinated by the new Kia K900...
Sadly, America has lots of insecure people who only feel good about themselves when they are driving the latest trendy car, a very predatory lending system, and a large number of easily manipulated people - I mean, just look at the orange traitor in the white house and his delusional followers. They just can’t see the…
My 9-3 approves and sends much love!
Its the slow manual steering not the brakes that are truly dangerous. As a general rule, if you are in a situation where you need to slam on the brakes hard to stop you really should be steering out of the situation - but in a big heavy car with slow manual steering that becomes all but impossible.
The Dart should have been sportier and called Neon, and the 200 should have been named Dart. The name Dart brought with it reliability and size expectations that the Neon 2 could not live up to, and the name 200 just made it seem like you were to cheap to buy a 300.
Helmets ruin motorcycles for me. I feel so enclosed in one that its more isolating than being in a sedan. I find small convertibles way more sporty just because I can feel the wind, smell the fresh air, and have a full field of vision. I’ve often wondered if anyone else felt the same way.
Fantastic choice!!! Massively underrated band!
IIRC, cars are at their most reliable between 80-120K miles. Infant issues have had time to be corrected and long term wear issues have yet to occur. Shop carefully, take your time, accept some general wear, and you can get a great car for less than 5K. Currently sedans are great deals, and the more reliable variations…
This makes me very sad!!!
I daily drive a X300 Xj6 - Fabulous car & very reliable! When I’m around private plane rich friends it fits in well and they all seem to think its super cool, but its old enough and cheap enough to street park in mediocre parts of town. The key is letting your fun older luxury car get dirty and a little beat up for…
There are many smaller relatively narrow highways where you can see cars coming towards you for miles, but have trees, brush, fences, etc., lining the shoulders making visibility to the sides terrible - not just for you but for people entering or crossing the highway. In those cases crossing lines and staying towards…
Its keeping the 20 year old Jaguar company!
They put Hitlers brain in a dog!! Now he and his she wolf chauffeur drive around 1950s Germany looking for the best homemade Kartoffelkloesse. Its a new Adult Swim dramedy.
