That’s the exact same one my nine-year-old daughter uses for her science projects.

This series is providing an excellent list of “Don’t do This”.

The article from last week about resurrecting that 300ZX Twin Turbo would like to have a word with you.

Except he’ll probably try to do it in his bathtub using baling wire and chewing gum, fuck it up, and there we have tomorrow’s post.

When did feasibility ever enter into the idea of restoring a 70 year old Jeep in a short timeframe with no fabrication budget?

David,

Think connecting a 12V battery to a 6V system might have contributed to that a little?

My LT1 powered Camaro was 90s and RWD and changing the one spark plug required me enlisting a super smart trained octopus. He went on to successfully predict a bunch of World Cup games and we lost touch, he got all wrapped up in celebrity.

It’s a stretch to call the xj a 90s car, though. It’s an 80s car with an older engine updated with fuel injection. Even the Renix era 4.0 made good power, was reliable, and simple to work on. It wasn’t as clean as the HO under the hood but it was still easy.

I do miss being able to thread spark plugs in by hand (no socket, even) and not having to remove the air filter for every procedure.

It was 1990s EFI that gave the 4.0 a new lease on life. Until that time, it was a dog. A relentless, tough dog that would live longer than you could imagine a dog could, but a dog.

David, I love your attitude and your articles but...I’ve gotta snark.

“In other news, the grass is green and the sky is blue. Stay tuned for more at 10.”

Any relatively complete socket set should have each of those.

bingo.

Sure

To be fair, who needs a Yaris?

In Communist Germany if you have achieved high enough party rank to get a Wartburg you apparently can also afford a wife and a girlfriend! Remember Comrade, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, and my needs include a blonde and a brunette!

Also extremely hot: the engine, because the Central Planners didn’t think of cooling it.

Die Another Day is so bad that it has enough bad-ness for two Brosnan movies, so it feels like he did 5.
