As a millennial still under 30, if the bubble pops on these I’m going to buy every single one that I possibly can. I can appreciate nearly any car, but there’s something about these old hot rods that just does it for me.  

The only one here without at least one appalling pick is Allison. I could let lettuce slide as not appalling, but as a first choice? That’s ludicrous.

As a counter to this, one of my favorite breweries was founded and is owned by a woman (well actually co-owned with her husband but I just now found that out). Miner Brewing in Hill City SD. She also has one of the best wineries in the midwest as well, Prairie Berry Winery.

Because it doesn’t matter if it’s by an inch or mile .1 mph or 10, winning’s winning?

Not true, my ‘99 had an exhaust that came behind the rear tire. As someone said below I think this was a one year only thing. 

I happen to like the Ecosport. They’re tiny and cute and spunky. I have no idea who in their right mind would buy one, but I still like them. I could see picking one up once they get cheap and making a little winter warrior out of one. 

My ‘99 F-150. There are so many memories in this truck that I’ll never be able to let it go. From “helping” Dad shop for it when I was 10, “convincing” dad to buy this one because I loved the color so much, all of the road trips and fishing trips, learning to drive in it, hauling around all my friends, having it…

“ew a purple car”

How Am I the first one here with this? 

I’ve read this too, but I’ve done several heads without issue, at least not yet. I try to keep a light pressure with the drill and slow speed, lifting the valve off multiple times as I go and switching directions a few times as well. 

Bringing parts back from what is surely the deadest of dead is a ton of fun and so rewarding. Not to be the one-upper but I’ve brought a head and valves back from worse. Here’s what the head of my old XR200R looked like when I got it.

I had a cheap 924 for a while as well, incredibly slow but still so much fun to drive and a great cruiser. I fully plan on having another someday, but likely with a mild engine swap, ideally a 3.0 Ford V6. 

This is best applied outside of the rust belt. We have plenty of good running vehicles here with high mileage, but if the body isn’t falling apart around the drive train by then, anything that will need maintenance at that age (suspension parts, brake components, anything under chassis really), will be a PITA to work…

I’ve never made the same chili twice and don’t have any recopies, even for some of my best chilies apart from trying to remember how I made it. I’ve tried a lot of variations and “secrets/gimmicks” with varying success, cocoa, cinnamon, dark beers, no bean, heavy bean, mixed meats etc. A couple of things that have…

Some people like different things. I drive my car and motorcycle as much as I can to save on fuel costs, but I love driving trucks, no good reasoning as to why, but I just like the way they drive. I’m not carving mountain roads at edge of limit speeds, the steering response is just fine in nearly every scenario. If…

Owned a 924 and I’m not sure it actually made enough power to power slide through anything.

Always been interested in this show, definitely one on my list of things to see. 

I work in aftermarket truck accessories and there is a database where a lot of manufacturer CAD data is available* and it is detailed down to the smallest things. I usually only work on small portions such as rocker panels, front clips, and frames, but I’ll still spend half a day loading and deleting out little clips…

So I get to play with portions of manufacture’s 3D models as part of my job engineering truck accessories. We mostly play with sections of rocker panel, the front clip of the truck, or frames, and let me tell you, those models are incredibly detailed. Clips, fasteners, all of the individual sheet metal components that…

This is a bad comparison. I have to defend Jurassic Park here.
