I don’t understand the point of using your phone while driving. Why not just wait until you arrive? What is so important that it can’t wait?

Here are some:
You’ve got it easy. My dad would want a ‘69 Yenko Camaro. A real one. My grandfather would be even more difficult... 1935 Citroen Traction Avant (He has so many stories about this specific yellow Traction Avant he drove when he was a driving instructor). Yeah, definitely not happening. At least my grandfather is happy…
Yeah, C10's are TERRIBLE in the snow. I always drive my Jimmy in snowy conditions for that reason.
One of my friends has a Jetta TDI with a modified engine. He’s taking out his engine and putting in a junk, worn out, 500,000 mile TDI from the junkyard in it.
That was my reaction as well, that you should have used the name of the ad agency.
The old engine was probably the most worn out engine I’ve ever seen. The bearings were worn down to the point where I could see copper. The wrist pins visibly wiggled in the pistons- about 1/16 of an inch. The block cracked across two cylinders, into the oil gallery, and into the coolant passages, resulting in a mix…
1984 GMC Jimmy, requested by a dealer customer to have a 6.2 diesel and SM465 manual transmission. Dealer bought Jimmy with 305 and manual transmission, swapped engine and bellhousing with GM service replacement 6.2 diesel, and sold Jimmy to customer for $1000 extra(in 1984 dollars). It’s taken apart now because the…
No computer on my 6.2 diesel or its manual transmission, in my GMC Jimmy. So I’ll be rolling with you guys, maybe a bit more slowly, if that happens.
So if the Focus RS drift mode just sends more power to the rear wheels, then my GMC Jimmy must have Ultimate Drift Mode, also known as 2-H on the transfer case. It sends all of the power to the rear wheels.
My 1984 6.2 Diesel Jimmy with the 31 gallon tank can do 700+ miles without refilling. With a 5 gallon Jerry can in the rear mount, it can do 800+, although that does require briefly stopping to dump it into the tank.
Maybe crash a Mustang into a Prius?
A nut that sells nuts, too.
You’re definitely right about country when working on old 4x4's. However, heavy metal works for wiring, at least for me.
Other historical electricity-related scientist names would work too: Volta, Joule, Henry, Coulomb, and Ohm would all work. Other names of scientists having to do with energy would work too. Bernoulli for example, you know, conservation of energy and all.
Maybe it’s just me and my interest in old cars but I think it completes the aesthetic, especially in 1970s and ‘80s cars, but I don’t own or really ever drive anything new, so I don’t know about how much it ruins the aesthetic of the modern interiors. Also I forget my phone at home a lot and get bored while waiting…
Yeah but they’re interesting to look at when you’re bored and some of the old cars have ones about various things other than airbags, such as catalytic converters, variable pitch transmissions, or unsynchronized gears on manuals.
External combustion engine?
On the coolant side of things there is non toxic coolant that you can buy. Sierra Marine I think makes one. They use propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol is used as a food additive.
The Chevy Volt. My mother has one, and the rear visibility is terrible. The rear window is split into two smaller windows, a tiny one that is almost vertical and a large one that is almost horizontal. It’s always a shock to get into it or even other modern cars from my ‘84 K1500 Jimmy daily driver or my ‘78 C10, which…
