    Future of collector cars

    Im'a be 68 next month. We of advanced age are in a prime position to see things as they actually are... the old junk we like is exactly that, junk. But we can work on it with basic tools and understanding, and we can afford the stuff we like to play with (for the most part). If you need the high...

    You can have lots of fun vintage grass racing... My Father's Day gift to me a few years ago was an alcohol burning Arctic Cat grass racer, a "Turf Tiger". Three seasons of fun...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    I got a neighbor that seems to need to make a tremendous amount of yard work noise all year long. His son has a noisy Ram truck and he's always on the throttle. I have loud music and motorcycles and snowmobiles with open pipes. He complains. I do more tuning and Check My Plugs...

    It's jelly all over here. The only stick and rudder time I've had was in two Luscombe's a buddy had. One of them was uprated to 150hp for banner towing.

    66 Dart Owners thread

    Prolly few here would watch "Top Gear", however, the latest broadcast has the crew buying $3k cars, and taking a road trip in Peru. The actually skilled host buys a very sharp '66 Dart GT. They drive ancient roads and top the highest peak you can drive to... and the Dart was well up to the task...

    Good Morning, coffee mavins. Today I get to do something worse than scraping off old hard gaskets... replacing the seals in the brewing heads of the espresso machine. When old and hard, they must be dug out in small bits that resemble chunks of an old rock hard fan belt. Can't do anything till...

    Ford Escape - replace degas bottle to thermostat housing hose assembly?

    Really? Replace all four blahblablah. What TF are you on? Do not, under any circumstances, pay attention to the trolls, Ruskybots or Teslastans. If it sounds too stupid and expensive, it is.

    Why Capacitors go bad

    In the context of the automotive lexicon, what happens in other devices doesn't matter. The most common fault of an automotive condenser not doing it's job is not controlling current at the points, causing contact material transfer.

    Cost of Driving an EV

    The market value of Tesla is meaningless if the only way to make money with your stock is to buy low and sell high. Holding stocks that produce no dividend but have high market value is a textbook "bubble" waiting to pop...
