I have a buddy with a 31 Ford that has a denim roof, a 400 SBC, and 5 speed. No belts for the same reason. You don’t want to be attached to it.

They are the things you DO NOT WANT in a completely open car with no roll structure, or for that matter anything weight-bearing above the waist.

Get rid of the hot rodders. Seriously. The Hot August Nights crowd has destroyed car television in America. In fact, forget America entirely - let’s do a show about tuning and mods in other countries.

Not using these tools for a long job. If it’s more parts than you can fit in your hand, bag it and tag it. You’ll be glad you did.

Not getting the right tool for the job. Yeah, you can replace a Subaru lower control arm bushing at home, but using a press (which is probably at a shop) is significantly easier and probably doesn’t involve a Sawzall.

Every single time...

Not using jack stands. That’s way too dangerous to forget about, or not know about.

Now playing

This fine upstanding gentleman drives a Renault 5

Laptop: $1000 or so (when new)

No contest.

Too easy.

How about a 4BT swap? Haha! I know it's heavy, but that torque in such a light chassis? Could be insanely addictive....

Uh....then he was in the lava for awhile. Why did he continue to crawl through it? For that matter, how did he survive long enough to climb back out?

At the time, I thought they were cool. I never got to drive one.


This takes care of most of them

Did you remember that VW once made two-door Jettas? Pepperidge Farm remembers
