YouTube sucks. We get it. But MTOD isn’t the answer.

I remember goading my mom into spending $95 at Toys R Us on the paper slip to go get Virtua Racing for my Sega Genesis from the front counter.

Yes, but they will ask you what size your ‘factory brakes’ are when you go to them for replacements.

Unless you’re trying to buy them aftermarket from the parts store. They usually have them listed by diameter, and in millimeters too for extra confusion.

Now playing

This guy is gonna need one if he ever plans to get it back together someday.

I work in parts.

Most people want the cheapest Chinese no-name tire, then bitch about it when its loud, doesn’t grip, or wears out in 10k miles.

Yeah anytime a used car is missing a spare or I need some for a project, I call up my local yard and ask for the best one that’s never touched the earth. Like new and cheap.

But... that’s a new one I had never heard of, and seems to be on the more shady end of the spectrum.

Had a guy come in once trying to buy a new donut spare tire. Said he WORE HIS OUT.

I’ve been in the automotive biz, and selling tires as well for over 15 years, NEVER heard of ADDING siping to a tire as an add on at the time of sale.

Better than whom?

Width wise... as to not throw debris at following cars or people.

I was wondering the same thing, even at the STATE level there’s laws against width vs. lighting, and protruding loads, and TIRES being covered by fenders.

The same way an autonomous car can’t see a pedestrian.

Samcrac is a hack. This car and others he’s ‘fixed’ and put back on the road were salvaged cars and his repairs are questionable at best.

I recently got the chance to drive a super clean Vanilla Ice spec ‘91 convertible 5.0L, with an auto and 2:73 highway gears.

One of the few parts of this build I’ll agree with you on. Matt mentioned his reasons a while ago for doing it this way, and I think it was along the lines of “This Is How I Did It If You Don’t Like It I Don’t Give A Shit Its My Car” which is fine enough... but dude.... no. IF the corners were rounded I could deal

I know, right?
