I’ve really never met anyone that has had anything bad to say about it, most people think it’s cool, almost like a tank that you can own and drive. The H2, that’s a whole other story, I have a neighbor that is one of the remaining people that owns one and it is wrapped in a tacky neon wrap that advertises his…

Why does everyone assume that the modified cars in BTTFII are MY2015/16? When they are clearly just supposed to be high school kid beaters

What the hell, dude, that was a perfectly good square headlight Jeep YJ Wrangler! :(

Was once replacing the battery on my DD, in the driveway on a very hot day. Somehow managed to cross the terminals with the wrench I was holding, causing me to raise my head rapidly into the hood with a loud (and painful) clang. Which caused me to then duck. And unfortunately also caused the hood holder rod to…

Worst ever experience I had went like this during the summer of 1992.

I tried using that question in interviews because my boss wanted me to ask some kind of non-obvious socializing question. I was using it with college kids and it didn’t work at all. Even at 20k, they couldn’t really wrap their head around the idea and I got several “a honda/a prius” answers and one brief monologue on…

“Don’t put “eyelashes” on your car. Your car is not anthropomorphic. It doesn’t need facial expressions and it doesn’t have eyes.”

First off, I was reluctant about getting this car. My dad persisted that I needed a reliable car that at least had sporty handling and still at least had some oomph that could get me out of trouble if I needed it. This was to replace my tired old 533i that would not make the 8 hour drive between home and the…

But if you have a Pontiac Firebird with a V6, that’s just silly - unless it’s a turbo TA.

No, for real. Why would you? Just sell the v6 car and by one with a v8. Is your sole purpose to say you did it yourself? The same mods you are doing to the v6 you could also do yourself on the v8. Just because someone owns a v8 doesn’t mean they have to have a shop do all their work for them. Its just a better…

On the really high price options, I usually opt to have some land purchased and a track built on the land. Hey, if we’re dreaming, I’d rather have a beater Fox body and a private race track than a hyper car with no place to park it.

We all know the answer to this one:

I always say “Lamborgatti Fastarossa”, and tell the asker to Google it.

I answer with trap speed. It’s a meaningful measurement of performance and power, the layperson doesn’t know what I’m talking about and leaves me alone, and it identifies gearheads.

To be fair, you can also to the same research, digging, wrenching, and developing an intimate knowledge of what has gone into the car for a V8 or any engine.

If you had X amount of money what car would you buy?

You’ve clearly never modified your car and then been curious about the increase in performance

So, confession time: I dig smoked taillights. I’ve never had it done on my own cars, but I kinda split the difference between wanting to look cool and wanting to not get rear ended. That is to say, if I ever did it, it would be Extremely light. Enough to VERY LIGHTLY tone down the bright colors, not enough to make…

Why do American engines get so little hp per liter?
