The old spirit of hot-rodding seems to be mostly lost, both on the older generations that grew up doing it that way, and the young people that grew up in the era of ECUs and fuel injection. Everything seems to be about either “traditional” hot rods, or modern fuel injected cars and engines, and among the younger…

I’m 19 and pretty much the only one of these I knew was Legit. Then again I don't know anyone else my age. Most of my friends are at least 30. I don't understand the thought process behind not speaking in proper English.

I never understood the concept of bigger wheels as an upgrade. They make everything look like a stagecoach, are expensive, and dent/crack super easily. What I see as the upgrade is the smallest possible wheel that will fit over the brake, made of the most durable material, combined with a tire with the most amount of…

Aviation maintenance is woefully understaffed at the moment, and well paid.

Same with me, although my cars don’t even have Bluetooth. I guess one has a tape deck, so that’s the closest thing I have. For that matter, they dont have OBD ports, ECUs, electronic ignition, or even electric choke. Much of the time I don’t have my phone on me, and if I do, I usually just chuck it vaguely in the…

People actually use armrests?

Depends how strict you are on the definition of “car engine”. If you mean an engine that was actually installed in a production car, then probably the 2.0 Ecoboost or 2.0 Ecotec, with 250-350 HP. If you mean automotive-style engine that may not have been installed in a production car, then any of the various…

And a whole lot of states also have emissions exemptions for cars over a certain age. In MA if it's over 25 years old they don't even pop the hood.

May I suggest a TDI instead? Amazing power potential, great fuel mileage, extremely durable, and you get the cool factor of it being a diesel VW Jetta Ute.

I've always had cars that take sealed beams, and around here, they look for whether the conversion housing is DOT certified (I've actually been told that conversion housings are exempt from wattage requirements by an inspection official), and not the bulb, so as long as you stick with a normal halogen bulb in the…

The absolute best headlights I have ever seen were just simple sealed beam conversion housings with 100W hi beam/130W low H4 bulbs (Hella Rally bulbs) installed. Looked as bright as the sun and just regular headlight color, not this blue bullshit they're peddling now.

If it's black then why is the photo of a yellow Corvette?

Considering that one of my neighbors is a hotel with open wifi, it’s as simple as connecting a range extender, and I get free WiFi and Ethernet, which is is perfectly fine for what i use it for, which is 99% reading, watching YouTube videos at the lowest resolution (I don't care about resolution or audio quality, just…

I'm actually small enough to fit in every airline seat I've encountered, so for me it's just a matter of not requiring the extra space and therefore paying less for the ticket.

In fact, it’s not even limited to DI vehicles. Much as she with propane or natural gas, carbureted, port injected, and TBI fuel systems are also an option.

I take 350+ mile trips at least twice a month and 700+ mile trips are not uncommon. Often, these trips are also on a tight schedule that would be incompatible with finding charging stations and the actual time spent charging the car. In addition, I require a pickup truck, and compact size with single cab is preferred.…

In terms of BMW’s that are more than a year old, there’s a very good deal that’s been going around lately; the 335D. They’re going for about 10-11,000 right now in good condition. Diesel, good fuel mileage, reliable, fairly easy to service, and quite fast, plus they didn’t sell all that many over here in the first…

For me that’s a very easy answer. I don’t always carry my phone. I don’t need it most of the time and who knows who could be tracking the GPS somehow. For navigation, I have the Rand McNally Road Atlas (just got the new 2019 edition), and a vertical card compass from an airplane mounted in a hole in the dash. I know…

This is very simple. Buy a GM 4 pin HEI module, ACDelco part number D1906, wire it up to your existing Duraspark distributor, and attach it to heatsink part number 10474610 to prevent overheating. This setup has worked for me on nearly every brand of electronic distributor including foreign brands with zero issues,…

Well, that was disappointing... I was expecting a supercharged version of the new 7.3 gas V8.
