I once put platinum plugs on a carbureted car. After a couple of weeks it ran terrible. Changed them to regular Champions and it ran great again. I'm guessing a carb engine runs too dirty and fouls the plugs or it doesn't run hot enough. Dunno.

I talked to a SoCal tourist in Nelson, BC while on a ski trip there. He rented a 4wd while there. He admitted that he really wasn't familiar with snow driving. "I put it in 4wd and I was still sliding all over !" I gave him the basics 101 of snow driving and he seemed to pick up the concept really quickly.

Corn ethanol carbon neutrality is very marginal. The Brazilian style sugar cane stuff is better. We owned some land which was leased to a dairy farmer and he grew 'cow corn' . We used to eat it all the time, it's kind of tough but its ok. Iowa has a lot of clout in presidential politics so the corn lobby is…

non bypass turbofan engines ? they look skinny.

It has 259 hp and its quite aero, soo.........maybe?

Those Larch trees look like Zauchensee. I've had good powder days there.

Prince, the OG, pulled rank, Kanye got the message and ran off.

I like bison too. Its leaner and it tastes like beef, just a more intense flavour.

Old pre 90's mercs were NOT luxury cars. They didn't have a super smooth ride, great power or luxury features like power seats ect. They were somewhat dull to drive, yes, maybe that solid feeling. And they were absurdly expensive compared to similar cars. All the money went into the important parts.

Would be perfect for a 3 month ski tour of Japan. Yeah !

Isuzu Trooper and J Lo's big butt. That is all.

This is the ultimate Jal0pnik car ! maybe just needs a block heater

Fish haven't been brainwashed into thinking 4wd is a magic safety cure all.

A Nissan micra in canukistan is $9,998.

OMG ! They are driving rwd cars in the snow. They must be homicidal, suicidal maniacs !

what is the pattern on that thing ? btw some tigerpatch would have helped with that flex pipe. And some hose clamps and a tin can.

Won't the engine be seized ?

How about a 911 that can fit more than 10 year olds in the back 'seats'. "Oh the Ferrari is a better car, the lambo is a better car, the vette", but none have back seats. Nothing luxurious, just something small to average size adults can cram into for short trips. I have seen a family of four(two young kids) pile…

The way Pronger had his skates tied low, with the boot tongue hanging out, his ankle muscles had to be like steel cables.

I don't love or hate the prius, but look how many pri taxis are out there. or other hybrids. Taxi business is all about brutal economics so there must be something to it.
