Algae based fuels. Probably wouldn't be cheaper than gas is today, but we'd have a homegrown never ending supply.

Simple enough problem. The temp sensor wasn't working correctly, the computer told the "some of the fuel injectors to shut off" to try and keep the engine cool. He replace the sending unit and all is well. Did a radiator flush, changed the sender and top hose, $99. I would have never thought of...

When I called the mechanic....he said after hearing what car it was...."oh, you have one of those that actually runs" and he chuckled.

The water pump...well....I had to put it on twice. The first time, one hole on the pump was a 1/4 off from the original pump. Took it back and the guy at Shucks was bewildered as I was. Second one went on fine. I always draw a diagram and number everything that comes off but that doesn't mean I...

It's the 3.0 V6. Doesn't sound like pinging, more a knocking sound.

My daughter bought a 1993 Ford Taurus. We had looked at it and I suggest she not buy it. While at work, the lady called and said she had a couple of interested parties but because my daughter was young...long story short, her and her mom went and bought it. Day 3 of ownership, the water pump...

oops...now I am thinking hitting the "buy it now" button was a mistake.... just kidding

Thank you for proving I only slightly embellish on the truth. I'll see you at this month's Totally Full of Crap Anonymous meeting....bring the rocket boosted Chevy

I don't like to brag...but...I put one of the Stage V hemi heads on a 2L motor out of a Neon into a '64 Rambler station wagon. Dang, she was powerful. I blew up to 1,500 horsepower rated dyno's here in town before she revved to 2500 RPM's. The Dept. of Transportation refused to register...

A couple of years ago, Mopars at the Strip, one guy wanted $300 for a pair of em. When I was looking, I would have jumped at $110.

Find a plating shop and have it pickled (and oiled if you're not going to paint or plate it right away). I've seen metal worse than that come out looking nice with that process.

I've got a friend with a Hemi in an Abody...how much? hehe

Lots of "dubious" comments in his story. I think the 12k point is a dead giveaway that he is at minimum exaggerating. 135mph is obtainable with any engine and the right gearing. I think you chalk it up to as a "fable" and tell it at parties and laugh with your friends.

That cop behind ya on the way to the donut place might not appreciate a "chirp" as much as we do...with that said, do whatever makes ya feel good!

My life laughed at me and accused me of getting to old to work on cars. I was rebuilding the front end of my Dart in the garage, in a frigid February in Idaho.....cause I was sitting on a pillow. I told her the concrete was to cold and my was getting numb.

I'm about 20 miles northwest of Boise.

Ya'd think for $2500, he would throw in the shipping. I was going to buy it but the shipping would break my budget for an air cleaner.

My wife has a female blue tick, maybe I could send Gracie (the dog, not my wife..well maybe I can send both) and she could teach your dog by example. Of course, I never want Gracie back!!

I especially liked the yellow traction bars on the GTX. I haven't seen a car with them in years.

I can't imagine getting those locking header bolts on without a major headache on the rear driver's side. With that said, I use lock washers but have still had a bolt or two need snugging up periodically.

Forget the squiggly lines, look at the stated on the bottom....554 HP 537 lbs torque

If you are just worried about going in a straight line, don't change the front shocks.

I've got 235-60-15 on the rear with 15 x 7 steel wheels and a 4" backspace. I imagine I could get 255's under there, but I'd mount them and check the clearance on both sides. Being that close to the springs and lips, it would pay to check both sides. My local tire shop swapped a few different...

The other day I thought my mechanical fuel pump died, cursed and moaned while ordering a new one. As I put the new one in, the arm didn't seem to be sitting right on the eccentric. I took a screw driver and went in thru the fuel pump opening in the timing cover and could move the eccentric...

Bank of America dropped my limit by 75% and told me I was going to have to pay $10 a month fee because I never pay interest because I rarely used it (the past few years--before that....) and have paid off the balance. I called and closed it, the dude on the other end tried to get me to keep the...

When someone calls about something I have for sale locally, I say sure come over and if they don't show up I don't sweat. Like in your case, after getting burnt a few times, I won't prep anything in advance. If the caller actually shows up as promised, I explain that most of the time people...

Just let your hair grow out and don't wash it...and some bell bottoms. If 1965 is to early for that look, just say you're a trend setter

I was there the other day. Took the Dart to get some gas, after all the needle was above empty...when will I learn?, and ran out. I used the cell and called my wife. I stayed with the car and some punk a$$ Mustang driver pulled over and offered to help...I knew he was laughing inside. I wanted...

Thats why when it comes time to paint, I'm not going to spend a lot of money. People tend to gravitate to old cars and can't keep their paws off of them.

It's always great to be recognized for something. I remember when I was "Moron of the Month" for Feb 09's issue of Idiot's Magazine. I don't think I'm going to win the annual honors, the Octo mom has a leg up.
