Yep, you nailed it. If the fuel pumps tickin', don't mess with it.

C'mon, SU carbs are simple. There are very few parts to go wrong. Mind you, that doesn't mean I don't have a pretty thick little manual about them. They are, after all, a carburetor, and thus filled with black magic and sorcery.

Been done...and very nice, to boot: [www.slowcarfast.com]

I always go by this, myself.

And yet, they still have trouble delivering my "next business morning" package in the actual morning.

Yep, too bad I don't have it anymore.

Sweet, I've owned two of those cars. A '95 Neon (non-ACR, but a two-door with SOHC before they "refined" the cam), and a '71 MGB GT (which I still own).

I'll go you one better — Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite.

If this were a rally, the driver and codriver would have stayed in the car, honking wildly until the course workers and spectators put them back on their wheels, where they would have then taken off down the course.

Just picture this Corolla every time you hear his name

Remember the EcoBoost F150 Challenge?

Yeah, but not a $42k car with a factory warranty!

1. It will do 1 jump at triple digit speeds. And it won't end well.

Ford should offer to replace or fix the handful of damaged trucks, and they should reinforce the frames of all the others.

I don't think that one was sold on eBay, was it? It didn't mention that in the linked article, but I could be wrong.

Oh, man, also an excellent episode. I really wish they'd do another endurance race...maybe 24 hours of Nurburgring?

Agreed. Start them with the specials, then move to the ones with the races (car vs train, etc).

Alright, time to claim my bit of fame — that Sentra SE-R? That's my dad. I did a lot of the prep on that car back when I was active (though he's done a considerable amount since then).

I'll ask him as soon as he stops singing the song that never ends...
