For the price of a Bugatti, I could own 150-200 cars I would actually want to drive (given that the average price of my favorite cars is $5-10,000), a somewhat low priced but still average older fighter jet such as maybe an L-39C or such, 15-20 $50,000 aircraft, and still have a million dollars left. If I was to…

I still don’t totally understand the hatred for hard plastic interiors. I honestly prefer them over the weird soft leather texture plastic, especially if properly mounted with screws in indents instead of the stupid clips and hidden screws. Easy to clean, doesn’t hold dirt in all the little crevices. If assembled with…

If this is an "SUV", then so is a Subaru WRX sedan. It's not an SUV. It's a COUPE, and it just happens to have higher ground clearance and AWD.

Some cars with 4 wheel drum brakes do not have a proportioning valve and therefore no precise control over brake bias. This is the reason for the rear wheels locking up sometimes.

It actually looks a lot like a modern derivative of the old Ford MEL V8. Similar layout, port spacing, even the valves seem to be straight up relative to the mounting surface of the cylinder head, and along with the huge size of the base of the head relative to the rest of it, to me indicates an engine with a flat…

Pretty much just by looking at pictures of the parts, measuring at junkyards, and looking through catalogs.

I recently bought a 1983 Subaru Brat. Many parts are no longer available, so most of the time, the only possible way to replace a broken part is to adapt one off another car. Examples include:

My theory is that it is the oil pump gerotor bouncing around slightly in the oil pump case, either due to the case being cast out of soft metal or machined to incorrect tolerances. I have heard an almost identical noise before- on a Subaru EJ20 with a severely worn oil pump. Now I realize that these are two entirely…

I have done many no-lift shifts in cars equipped with both carbureted and very early FI engines. The trick is to shift fast enough that the engine doesn’t rev more than 2-300 RPM between shifts, and then the clutch slips very slightly and takes care of the RPM difference. It takes a bit of practice but I've been able…

I've seen plenty of parking garages with surface mounted conduit...

Not saying I agree with this thing at all, but it certainly is possible. Being that there is no motherboard or battery behind the screen, it would be very thin, and if the screen were made of plastic, the back could be scored and filled with silicone in the score marks so as to break apart around the airbag as it…

At least they had two other ships. Faraday Future barely has a car

An even better idea would be to just fit one of those tiny 4hp Yanmar diesels and a fuel tank in the bottom of the hull. Still slow but gives you a diesel engine and the ability to make course corrections etc.

I've actually had a few very old cars with low compression engines that would run perfectly fine on diesel or kerosene as long as you warmed them up on gas. Although that wasn't as much a case of using the diesel pump in a gas car, but rather the cheap kerosene pump on very long trips.

Actually, there are plenty of cars with no notch or bracket, and no leash for the cap either. I've only owned one car that had either of those. The rest either have the regular flat metal round cap or the one with the two steel tabs to grip it.

Not too many choices where I live. This is the best I can do, $400:

The other exception would be that in some states, titles are not required for cars beyond a certain age, only a previous registration and bill of sale.

Buick Regal TourX, especially with the discounts going on now.

I learned not to buy anything with a computer/tons of electronics after this happened:

They're not even SUVs. They're station wagons with ridiculously oversized wheels.
