When learning how to wrench, I actually rebuilt my engine before I ever did brakes on the same car lol.

Lol, the local one will be like, “Where’s your fuckin barcode?  Not getting any free shit, get outtahere!”

And this is what you get when you stuff a 53 year old shell into a new Wrangler.

Unfortunately this lady and my mom would get along well.  And my mom doesn't even use drugs.  We can't get her to get any help we couldn't get anybody to intervene because she doesn't cause any harm to herself or others.

BMW coming in like a wrecking ball again...

Just wait for them to do the big boy chargers, you’d have somebody doing the jacob’s ladder trick lol.

Well, that’s a step in the right direction. At least they’re using the conventional charging port instead of something else entirely.

This was the first bit of news that hit me this morning. I just lay there in bed and let the gentle tears flow. I can’t say many celebrity deaths have affected me much, but Sabine was one of those I found early on back when my love for motorsports was starting to take hold. Downloading videos of track shenanigans from…

A guy I’d run into years ago through a circle of friends had the chance of the lifetime to drive on of the Porsche GT1's at Sebring. He said that after his stint was done, he found that the steering wheel had rubbed through his gloves because of how rough the track was.  That was over 20 damned years ago.

Got a “new to me” car that I am almost done rehabbing to DD duty. I had thought of Gen V LT swapping the bird after selling all the V6 parts, but with the current state of affairs, maybe not. I hope the parts market gets saturated with EV parts so I can make this thing an AWD EV hot rod instead.

“But if I was someone buying a new pickup, I’d be pissed about missing this module.”

No, no you wouldn’t. Especially if you’ve had to deal with those AFM lifter failures. It’s a parlor trick to meet those CAFE standards and that’s it. I’ve known people to get better MPG we disabled the AFM.

I’m not sure if that’s the reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of my tinnitus from driving loud cars all my life or the sound of people upset you mentioned Tesla but not Rivian. Torch is such a big, mean bully.

Ohh that looks quite nice.

“The first was that the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport has met Ford’s internal targets, which are based on projected customer usage.”

Show of hands, how many people have heard about the C7 Z06 overheating issues? Remember how GM said, “we never had issues in testing, this isn’t a problem.”

Sadly, it’s how many in the OE industry approach any mechanical shortfalls.  Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations.

Any time I go to a racing event, I always carried a bottle of hand sanitizer and also a bottle of eye drops because you’re bound to get some dust/concrete/whatever of some sort in your eyes, especially in SCCA events where you are working the course as well.

Hell yea Beyond 2000 was the shit.

I remember those, Hydrogren powered V12 E38 7 Series.

Honestly, most sales people will have absolutely no clue about maintenance intervals even on a regular ICE powered car.

It’s not like a lot of these are out on the market, nor are there any manufacturer incentives for employees to buy them over their ICE compatriots to get them out there and spark a conversation about…
