Sure they do and sure you do. I think it became SOP to synchronize first in the 80's. Hell, two of my cars have a synchronized reverse! Damned if I know why that is, though.

The NHTSA needs to mandate a switch on all cars that will remotely turn off the rear fog light on nearby Audis.

The excuse I get from a lot of people is, “Well I don’t want to scrape my brush all over the car and ruin the paint.” Bitch, you bought a depreciating asset; stop trying to act like it’s a vital component of your Vanguard account.

This is why you have to focus you HIDs or you will be that guy.

This is wrong and misleading on so many levels...

That’s about how close I was able to get to it, too. And the dozens of cameras held aloft certainly didn’t help things. Maybe that’s another reason for the “no photography” rule in some places. A lot of people are there to experience the exhibit, not the aroma of other tourists’ armpits as they jockey for the…

Probably this thing. Rebodied 1933 Phantom II. 6000+ pounds, chassis structure like a railroad bridge, and parts are a PITA to get quickly. Heck, depending on what you need, it’s easiest just to fabricate it.

That said, the car is actually pretty simple (well, except for the goofy updraft carburetor). It’s just awful…

Bought my first Spitfire the day I turned 16 and pushed it home. Didn’t know my ass from a hole in the ground about working on cars. Bought a Spitfire instruction book, had it up and running in 2 weeks. Flip the hood open and there is so much extra space there you could put in an extra engine. Did about every job…

Volvo 850 and S/V/C 70 Series Heater cores take about 10 minutes.

The volvo v70, p80 chassis just involves pulling back the carpet trim either side of the center console, towards the firewall.

Real talk: NZ has a serious problem with rape and sexual assault. It’s deeply entrenched and I have no clue on what to do about it because it can’t even be spoken about without being silenced, like the women mentioned here.

compare the air quality in southern California today to what it was in the 1970s, and say that again with even the barest shred of intellectual honesty.

Dude, you seriously need to do something about this before you go out and Orlove yourself, or some poor bastard out on the highway.

USDOT regs _require_ an excessive compared to ECE standards amount of upward light because the USDOT believes it is needed to illuminate overhead road signs. What it causes is glare to oncoming drivers. You and your truck may be at the exactly right height to get a lot of that overhead sign light.

sorry, man, you should never change the type of light source in your headlamps. The light “kernel” needs to be in the proper location for it to work effectively with the reflector. If you have halogen headlamps, the only things that should go in there are halogen bulbs. Not LEDs, not HID capsules.

Yes, you should, if you’re so much of a dick that you consider yourself more important than everyone else on the road and you’re willing to risk their lives by blinding them for the sake of your own visibility. People who do this shit to ON ROAD lights will have their vehicles crushed when I am in power. Off road…

Single-spoke wheels are a Citroen thing—or, at least, they were before airbags became a concern. Peugeot is actually a fairly conservative car manufacturer, design-wise; Citroen started to lose a decent bit of that weirdness after the PSA merger.

Here’s another one I own. 320k on the odometer. Hydropneumatic suspended diesel powered Citroën. Unlike the other two it is a bit tired though, mostly due to the degradation of quarter of a century old piping/rubber. Which it’s got a lot off (see: hydropneumatic suspension).

Papa John is a giant douche, so I don’t feel sorry for him.

Let’s take moment to remember the delightful Tatra, with its glorious rear mounted aircooled V8, that ran into Inoue.
