Ancient Chinese Proverb: A Chevy will run badly longer than most vehicles will run.

The FJ is an awkward comparison. It was a Wrangler competitor of sorts, but what it had in traditional Toyota reliability and capability it lacked the Wrangler’s handsome butch looks. The FJ was fugly and for a vehicle that looked so large was really cramped on the inside. If you wanted “off road chops” let’s face it…

Not really.

You might want to check on that price, I’m betting the guy will get at least $4k for it if not full ask.  

I don’t understand why this is getting CP.  These are like redneck crack in the south, it might be a touch high on price, but not by much.  I know S10s in this condition would go for close to that.  I sold a bog standard 02 S10 LS with 2.2/5spd for $3800 just last year and it was a rebuilt title, only had 90K miles,…

Everyone has always known the sauce is NOS.

I have lived in Jacksonville most of my life, so naturally when I moved to NOLA for 4 years I adopted the Saints before ultimately coming home to Jacksonville. At least watching the Saints is fun every year even if they don’t win it all. Otherwise I do claim to be a Jags fan for the AFC half of the NFL season, but…

Sigh, you know what everyone who went to UF and FSU have in common? They all got into FSU.

If that 5 and 2 were swapped NP, but CP as is.

Her articles have a theme and I don’t take away enjoying the race as being it.  They usually go something along the lines of I got really drunk at x race weekend.

Or you know just don’t drink more than a couple of beers, honestly the majority of your posts explain the life of a “functional alcoholic” and I think you need an intervention. I don’t see where race weekend = getting blackout drunk, you need to learn to have fun without alcohol. Then hey you won’t feel like hammered…

Last time I pulled up the rear seat on a sedan the fuel tank was under there not 8-12 inches of space.  Toyota’s design might help with that as the tank appears to be below the floor in this case.  

That depends, technically a rear engined car does not put the engine above the rear axle. The most classic examples are the VW Beetle and the Porsche 911. Both of those have the wheels bolted to a Transaxle with the engine handing off the back in what looks like someone took the engine from a normal RWD car and turned…

I don’t want any of these driver assist systems in my car save cruise control until I can get in my car, buckle my seat, and just say take me to x location and it just does it.  Semi autonomous means either it will interfere at some point or it isn’t fully autonomous and it can kill you.  Don’t give me the you can…

My wife who swore up and down that I was not allowed to give up my ‘15 Mustang when it was time for baby also didn’t believe the car seat would fit.  Not only does it fit, but I don’t think she would be eating her knees should she every actually let me do a family trip in it.  That being said, the only time that car…

Race 1: Daytona In Stock* Cars is how you say it.

Just unplug the charger cord and “run it over with your lawn mower (translate chop it in half with an axe and blame the lawn mower)” I didn’t see that cord there I kept wondering whose car that was. I would probably let someone have some juice to charge their car if they asked, but brazenly just plugging into someones…

Or you could buy any number of legally register-able trucks with blown engines and actually you know drive it one day for probably less. They would also have the benefit of not making you vomit every time you look at your driveway. 

I had an AC system that “needed a recharge” about every 2 weeks it was leaking so bad. I did get it fixed. The problem with a turd like this is this is a preR134a refrigerant car as are most AC systems pre mid 90s and you just don’t recharge those. Most of the time I believe they require a new compressor at the bare…

I don’t know any type of wheel that you would even want to attempt to do the above on.  If you attempt to machine or weld a wheel you’ll likely throw the balance off or otherwise compromise the wheel in some way that won’t make it worth having anyway.  I’ve had friends who broke one rim on a fairly expensive set of…
