Sorry, the random number generator that they use to pick the COTD now didn’t choose you.

Oh yeah, that one’s going on the list right next to jamoke and bozo.

“choads” haha I forgot about this word. Such an underrated insult. It needs to make a comeback.

Jalopnik is not immune from internet posers. They’re the ones who spend 3 years on one project car then brag about mechanical aptitude or have never wrenched but read hot rod mags and give mechanical advice online.

“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” 

We the people DEMAND a voting system for COTD!

‘morbidly curious’ is probably an apt description of whatever it was

The estate of Henry Ford II refused to comment on this story

I had to look this up. I now hate you

This is why I hate and glad I got out of automotive sales. You have people running these dealerships that know jack shit about the cars they are pushing on people. All they care about is how much they can get you pay, nothing more. Shit like this is going to hurt GM in the long run

Birfield is a trade name for Rzeppa ball-type CVs like he’s talking about.

I’ll bet you’re right, a radiator is probably flexing a ton during the thermal cycle, but a block probably a lot less. You’d probably have better luck with red RTV for the short term, or the super sketchy egg method. My repair was actually between the case and the jug of a 79 harley sportster. it was a very small…

When my wife and I first started dating, she drove a four-door, dark blue Chevy Lumina 3.1. First off, her entire passenger’s side was dented in, and the mirror on that side ripped off, thanks to an old altercation with a whitetail deer and subsequent trip through a ditch.
