Although I’ve never had the opportunity to see it from the outside, the hood on my Mustang makes some disturbing vertical movements at somewhat elevated highway speeds.  It’s enough movement that I’ve seriously discussed installing hood pins - an accessory that I’ve always considered mainly for show up until now.  I…

Was the buried Dino there?

“...we just have very poor awareness as a brand.”

By all means, enjoy the cars and the dioramas. Looks cool to me.

It’s fast, comfortable, has a V8 and a manual transmission. If there is going to be snow, we will just stay home...

Counterpoint #1: Suzuki Forenza recall for seatbelt latches on front seats. Shortly after getting the notice, the driver’s side broke. I moved the one from the passenger side to the driver’s side so that I would be able to use a seatbelt until I could get the recall done. No big deal; just a single bolt holds each one…

“You know what? Just watch the dang video. You’re welcome.”
