On a mechanical fuel pump-which most older carbureted vehicles have-if you don’t prime the carb you need to crank the engine long enough to pull fuel through the line. A mechanical pump has a springloaded arm that rides on the cam and pumps with each revolution. If you dump some gas in the carb it will run long enough…

In December 1990 I was driving through Illinois in a 1985 Pontiac 6000 that had a non-functioning washer fluid pump. It was right after a snow storm and they had heavily salted the roads. So every few minutes at 55mph (national speed limit at the time) I would roll down the window, reach out with a spray bottle of…

Don’t know if you’re serious or not, but I remember watching it thinking “holy shit, Rodgers is pretty good!” And seeing Favre on the sidelines probably thinking the same thing.

I am offended by your personal attack for I am all for the rights of the everyday, slightly under-inflated (by 1.5psi to be precise) tire. And while I would never take direct action like this personally, I still take issue with the celebration (by people like yourself) of the tire that is overinflated and hyped as…

But what about the poor, misunderstood press? All he wants is to do what he does best and do it to the best of his abilities, darnit! Now he is doubting his purpose in this cruel world where we celebrate the glory boy overinflated tire and put down the hard working, unassuming and efficient hydraulic press. I’ll have…

Every vehicle I’ve ever owned I run out of gas on purpose early in ownership.

This would be me too! This guy would be my new best friend-whether he wants to be or not.

If my neighbor parked a Sherman tank in front of his house a few things would happen.

I’ll be honest, at times I’m the person that HOA rules are made for.

Good dog

Um thanks I guess-now I know what rule 34 is....

Maybe not deadlines exactly, but more that he needs to have x-number of posts a month and it’s the last week of the month. So look for a flurry of torch posts next weekend...

Brewer’s hitting coach!

Rusty Kuntz

This a really good piece and I encourage everyone to click the link and the read the entire LA Mag article. It sounds like Kontos-Field is a great leader and coach and is proof that great coaches in one sport can cross over and coach anything. She is an inspiration to everyone, especially young people (not just young…

I thought it might be by state, but I wasn’t sure.

I’ve said before that I get drafted fairly often to car shop with my girlfriends single friends. This was one of those times.

Yeah, I see that now-thanks for putting that in again-I misunderstood what you were asking (did I just admit on the Internet that I misunderstood something?!?!?) I also saw his response and that is a pretty out of touch.
