Agree with that and first thing that came to my mind. Unfortunately, he wrecked a lot of good cars and eliminated a real race finish. Although I didn’t want it, I think the 88 would have made it to the front especially being on the low side. I think Harvicks move was intentionally ending the race early to affect his…

Love the article. My father in law rebuilt a 79 for my wife, and a 71 for my first daughter that he was hand down to them in the future. He still uses both to head to the river for fishing, hunting, etc. He didn’t go frame off, but rebuilt drivetrain, full professional paintjob and interior redone. A lot of parts are…
I enjoy constructing impromptu experimental manufacturing setups. (Not meth). I’ll use fire and an engineering degree to break down organics and make oil, likely extend my oil change intervals, and increase my air filter changes. If needed, I may make a gasification unit to make syngas. A now K&N makes sense if the…
Banana Pudding.
I was pleasantly surprised by the offer I received from CarMax recently. I had just sold my business and was driving my 2011 GMC Sierra, base model truck. It was a work truck, just out of warranty (36000 miles or so), has bald rear tires, tweaks in both front and rear bumpers, and a scratch or dent in almost every…
One of my favorite vacations ever was to Ouray for a week, driving all the trails in the area. Black Bear pass was one of my favorites and the most gorgeous view overlooking Telluride, especially when the Aspen’s are changing.
Interesting article, thanks for the background info Jason. I thought it was going to be the odd rear fog light indicator I found on my old Mercedes and Porsche. Initially, I thought my flasher was broken until doing some digging. Cool find.
I think much more useful would be a progressive brake light indicating braking…
Oh so many, and I’m happy to elaborate if needed. I’ve had an “ I’ll figure it out” attitude, try to never put myself in a dangerous situation, but I certainly have inadvertently. I’ve owned a lot of project vehicles for my age and never let not knowing, get in the way of a project
Funny, I actually recognize this article due to an NRA email I received a few weeks ago containing this snippet. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such blatant conspiracy theorists ignoring all factual information in what is typically a polarized, but truthful opinion from the NRA position. I was offended that they…
This dealership was dirty top to bottom in my opinion. We live in the area, and used them for service with my wife’s Pathfinder for a normal oil change and general warranty items. They tore up multiple things, using impact wrench on small low torque bolts, cracked a taillight, then blamed it on us, looking for any…
That is a unique themed photo booth if I've ever seen one. Hope it was repurposed.
With all the bad press Craigslist receives due to recent unfortunately abductions and murders of it's users, I'm truly surprised they haven't turned a negative into a positive spin by strengthening the verification systems of their users.
A simple credit card verification, scanning of a license (most now have a bar…
There's also some beautiful hiking in the area. Not too many years ago, I worked with (hired him for a few years actually) a brilliant engineer at INL who worked on projects such as this in his past. Many of the things he had to stop himself and couldn't discuss. Lots of technology people thought were crazy were…
Purchase price - try to buy with as little downside as possible. Be selective, there are lots of "projects" out there!
Seems interesting, but I bet the parts bill a bit larger. Three pieces of glass, rear quarter has damage, rear bumper and misc have damage on that side, panel gap on the passenger side. The photographer I'm sure is taking some flattering angles, but honestly I love articles like this. If I could get a car Id love…
I love the concept and is almost exactly what I want in a work/play vehicle. It looks as if the removable top has lost its functionality? Is the hardtop still removable or is rendered useless for form before function? Also, with the upgraded axles and I hope frame, I assume the potential towing rating which is anemic…
Do you know why divorce is so expensive?
I love it. Even better if they did a "car play" integrated unit that would allow continual upgrade functionality through the paired device rather than in dash hardware. I just bought a bland receiver last week just so I could have an auxiliary input.
Finally, a manufacturer leveraging the history, capability through functional upgrades instead of AMG upgrades and luxo ass massagers. It's still will be put at a ridiculous price point, but I believe the market is changing to capability and reliability moving the market away from bigger and cushy is better and I…
