Yeah, but there isn’t much more to do to test them until my tires come in. If it does have a pinhole, they will weld it up again for free. Of course, that means back to the powder-coater, too.

I decided it was time to do more stock-looking wheels for my ‘68 Cutlass, but I wanted something a little special. I got a set for SuperStock III wheels from a ‘72 for $75. First, I had them media blasted, then I took them to an old school welding shop and had the back two wheels widened by an inch. Then I had them…
“Edible Crispy Box of Meat” is actually a pretty good description of the Alliance, too.
Me: Wait a minute... Your name’s Henry Ford. Any relation?
Henry Ford III: Yeah! I’m Henry Ford III!
Me: That’s amazing. I’m Jewish. I’d rather spend another ten years driving a Mitsubishi with a drivers door that doesn’t open than buy a car from that dickhead’s grandson.
I’m glad somebody clearly labeled the WATER POINT. I would hate to not be able to find the WATER POINT.
Kudos to this driver for choosing Cadillac over Volkswagen and Dodge.
Is it possible that the Ferrari brochures are dealership brochures and not from Ferrari corporate? They have specific dealers at the bottom.
Glad to hear you’re safe and this article is spot-on. I would also add, as a fellow driver of older, unsafe cars, that I’m more careful because of the literal blood and sweat that have gone into my 1968 Cutlass. I know every piece of that car inside and out and have spent time, money and energy finding parts and…
When I saw the first two I thought this whole article was just going to be to troll David Tracy and his Jeeps.
9 of the 18 options this car was ordered with each cost more than I paid for my last car. Gotta respect that.
I know the funnel is cheap, but a mechanic taught me a super cheap way to get one - just take an empty one-quart plastic oil bottle and cut the bottom off of it. It’s actually really easy to cut and you end up with a funnel that fits snugly into your oil fill opening. Plus you can dispose of it afterwards and not have…

Once the Army finally declassifies all the documents, I think you’ll be surprised to know that Lt. Koyland was actually given an experimental red serum that transformed him into a sentient human-pitcher hybrid that would allow him to bring liquid hydration to troops on the front lines without needing a Jeep at all.…
I feel like the biggest weakness the Odyssey 2 had compared the to 2600 was that Atari had a much larger cocaine budget to blow up the noses of their programmers, executives, assistants and the mail room guy. Ed Averett clearly did NOT have the benefit of mountains of cocaine.
Kristen! Enjoy the next phase of your career! I have enjoyed your contributions to Jalopnik and it was an absolute pleasure having you on Reels and Wheels (your episode, by the way, was one of the top rated, edging out when we had Demuro on for Back to the Future).
Lol - Noticed the same thing when I was in Tel Aviv. As a matter of fact, the tiny parking lot we found for our rental car had spaces so tight you practically had to hit cars in order to park - we actually watched the next people parking in the lot hit our rental car right in front of us. We made eye contact with them…
I hope there’s a trailer hitch on the back of the yellow Rover. If there’s one thing I appreciate, it’s a good camel tow.
If you really want to get good at it, the best way is to drive a car that’s such a s**tbox it won’t idle, so you have to be able to brake, clutch and stay on that throttle if you want to get home.
You can’t really catch it without the sound, but the best part is the spectators have no idea why they’re chanting “ECW! ECW! ECW!”
As the owner of a Triumph Spitfire, I can confirm that every last bit of information on that page will at some point become VITAL in fixing something that broke. As a matter of fact, if you have a higher resolution version you can share with me...
The Valley Forge from Silent Running was somewhere between class one and two, with plenty of problems and big forest domes attached to it. Possibly shares a class with the Cygnus from The Black Hole.
