Now that is unfair... we’ve probably spent 3 trillion (with a T) dollars policing/manipulating the middle East at this point. Lots of countries subsidize fuel costs (how do you imagine products get shipped from China for a nickel?), ‘Merica just “thinks different”
It made me sad too, but Lotus still managed to make a sporty roadster using essentially the same drivetrain.
If you live in California it’s like a special forces double-tap. My “friend” has illegally imported federal spec tools for years due to their broken from the factory carburetors that don’t last one freaking year without being torn apart and bathed in solvent.
In the 1940s our cars only needed 40 octane. 85 was for airplanes. It’s only 2013 and up Ladas that benefit from this new Soviet inwention.
Ethanol doesn’t work. It’s just a wet dream for corn farmers subsidized by the government, therefore making it the next cheapest octane booster after MTBE and tetra ethyl lead.
Pity that the “eco-friendly” state has weaned 95 octane all the way down to 91 and 9/11 means purchasing a drum of Xylene or Toluene = a visit from Homeland Security.
See now you’re giving Al Gore credit for inventing both the internet AND Adobe Flash, since HTML5 video hasn’t been a thing until recently.
Technically more of a Missouri thing but yes. Vinegar and mustard based sauces originated in the Carolinas and then you’ve got Texas dry rub.
There are BBQ flavors out there that have nothing to do with tomato paste and molasses, you should try them sometime.
The fauxrarri it is then....
Only if he doesn’t get “pneumonia” again.
The V8 that was in it was a tragedy, but nothing $500 in parts from Summit or JEGs wouldn’t fix.
Repair parts for a SBC Chevy are more expensive than a custom driveshaft and whatever other things it took to make this work? I’ve had one built, that’s your $500 right freaking there.
“Ford”
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson “could be worse”
Um... I’ll just leave this here. ARPANet had already existed since 1969.
By 1980 they had an automatic choke. Both RWD and FWD variants featured the same stupid pizza cutter rims (13x4.5?) but RWD models would fit 14x6 with no trouble.
You need a bit of width to comfortably seat three adults across...or a stack of these *inside the car*
This one doesn’t blow up if you use sane pressure limits. If you under fuel it “learns” to retard timing to compensate.
