I can confirm as to how annoying they can be. They stop traffic on Main Street here and I’m the only one that ever gets out of the car and chases them off into a side street. Other people stay in one spot and honk their horn, resulting in the turkeys making noise, but otherwise not doing much. When they’re on my…

I’ve never owned a car with a headliner. All of mine have been painted metal.

I’d like to see an example of a company recalling a safe product that was misused. Not that I don’t believe it happened, I’m just genuinely curious.

On Thanksgiving I go to work at 2:00 PM and return at 10:00 PM because I need to get everything ready for Black Friday. I then go to sleep and wake up at 4:00 AM to get there before the customers arrive. At 10:00 PM I leave and go home.

Dodge Aries Coupe. Don’t know what exactly I like so much about them, but they’re kind of cool to me.

If you’ve already got a TH400, might as well go for a 454.

The first time I ever drove was on an old Bolens 1000 tractor that I swapped a diesel engine into when I was 12. I know it doesn’t technically classify as a car, but it has four wheels, an engine, and a transmission. The thing was completely rusted out and had a seized engine. I found an old Yanmar generator at the…

I came to this article specifically for the 3 cylinder Cerlist diesel that comes stock in these.

Here’s some pictures of the swapped in engine, because my description was not the greatest:

First would be the Scout I paid $500 for.

It’s a Holly green and Desert Beige C10 with various racing part stickers. It sticks out like a sore thumb around these parts.

Chevy K20, 632 Big Block, manual transmission, dual fuel tanks. .50 caliber machine gun mounted in the bed. Fast, large fuel capacity, and 4x4 so you can evade the authorities off road.

If it actually ran, it would be worth $10,000. Otherwise, no.

If it was a stripped down, lightened version, 50hp would be adequate, but safety regulations would prevent that from happening here. Another interesting idea would be for Mazda to scale down these engines for use in yard equipment, which would be a constant speed application with less stringent emissions requirements,…

Good point. In an automatic, however, a CVT or transmission with many gears could solve that issue.

If it’s clean enough to be a range extender, it should be clean enough to be a primary engine as well.

What about they use this same small rotary in the Miata? Not as a range extender in a hybrid system, but as the primary engine. I’m sure it would be of adequate power for the small Miata.

Equip it with a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel, a GM SM420/SM465 transmission, an NP205 transfer case, and Eaton axles, and it might just last 100 years in adverse conditions.

I was actually talking to a dealership employee about if he had heard anything about what cars Chevy might come up with in the next few years, and all he could talk about was the “new mid-engine Corvette”, so there might actually be something to all this talk.
