That’s the entire point of this; some of y’all might not pay attention, but legislators introduce bills because of crap like this. give those geniuses in state houses and congress enough cannon fodder and you won’t be able to change your own oil without fear of being fined.

Which would’ve been an AMAZING reason to not post the video, or for the Mercury owner to not comment

It’s not a grammar contest to correct people who are claiming that things could be avoided if the “emergency brake” was put into use, the brain case behind the wheel was putting a ton of force on the brake pedal like his life depended on it, having a working parking brake wouldn’t do him any...

His “something” was already there, a wilwood 4 disc setup fighting against a stuck throttle, an idiot who can’t find neutral and brakes that have been used for a few miles to hold a car that had no business on the road from doing what it eventually did. It’s a trailer queen that doesn’t have...

How would it cost you big time? It wouldn’t in this situation AT ALL. throttle stuck on a 1,000hp vehicle, no brakes were stopping that situation without decoupling the engine from the rear axle (Neutral or killing engine) as the accident happened the hydraulic brake system was already...

PARKING brake, not an emergency brake. when did that change? It’s used for parking, not emergencies. as for the rest of the brakes, nothing to do with this, it’s a stuck throttle, that’s it

Like I said, my head would roll, I would try stuffing my wife's spare (if it's not currently in a car its a spare right) 390 hipo motor in there. Interesting factoid her Galaxie is inherited from her dad, he and I had the same issue, in the time I have owned my 68 camaro, his galaxie went thru...

That's the point; I had a good idea that's what it is and in the five years I've known of it no 'car guys' in town (including someone I know who has a 340 demon) knows what it is, and the usual guess is 'nova' not just folks on this site get the mistaken identity issue. Yeah, to get anything...

I think my head would roll on that one. I have to finish my 68 camaro, her 67 galaxie 500, my and my boys 67 barracuda, and my 74 kaw h2, and 77 kz1000 first. Not to mention the kitchen and bathroom.

And there we have it, first time i seen it I thought falcon, don't see any around here. Floors rotting out on the car, no glass, sits outside all year long. Nice looking fresh paint though. Haven't seen it not sitting in the driveway in 5 plus years either

I haven't talked to or seen the owner, so I don't know but I haven't seen anything with the recesses in the fenders like that (emblems??) or the round tail lights (ford?) But the number one question I keep getting is 'have you seen that nova?'

My neighbor points this car out to me, a few other people around town point it out to me, everyone has a different idea on what it is

In further news; might as well never get a haircut, tons of people get bad ones, never go to a restaurant who knows how much spit (or worse) you'll eat, never go to a bar, saw a TV show where a guy goes and finds rats, roaches and fake expensive booze in there. Most won't beat the snot out of...

Correct but the problem also gets added to when you remember that tire manufacturers have started widescale manufacturing in china, leading to out of spec tires coming into the market, so one from a few years prior would measure different, or the OE spec tire (assuming that's what was on it? Or...

Uhhh, the 'burn up' due to changing one tire on an AWD vehicle refers to the transfercase/ transmission going out which DOES happen, whether or not your salesperson/tech/whatever was smart enough or experienced enough to speak correctly when getting pressured by a lawyer or an angry husband type...

Problem right now with pawnstars and all that crap right now you have the effect of that full on. Most sellers are asking WAY TOO much on purpose ($2000 for a $500 bike) because they feel like someone is going to offer them half right off the bat. And you have people trying to cut EVERYTHING in...

Ha, I've watched people with a full beard, wearing a resporator to blow off brake dust. OSHA violation! You must shave to wear a respirator, otherwise you are doing nothing to help yourself, and can get your company in trouble. Solvents never seemed to bother me, working on carbs or engine...

RRR, I agree, the shop I worked at had 12 'mechanics' nine of which were part swappers (or brake/exhaust guys) the other 3 of us were actual mechanics, I hardly ever fired up the scan tool outside of an initial code grab. I was also the official/unofficial engine/trans guy. I had been deep...

RRR, minus the flow chart that stuff isn't that bad, work is work. Get in, take out part, put new one in. When the job calls for parts swapping, it's easy. I did 7 years as a mechanic in a shop that did ANYTHING. Quit in '13 to go work in a profession with actual retirement perks. But leaning...

I lent my neighbor my truck (it sits in my yard 300+ days a year, so why not?) it came back with a couple year old four wheeler in the bed. My girlfriend (now wife) used to pop in at my work with fast food, then steal my 68 camaro. Always came back with a full tank of gas (was $4 a gallon at...

I've got a german shepherd that is usually docile, but I have warned the girl my wife babysits for a good handfull of times to STOP coming in my house without knocking. You guessed it, she came to pick up her kid the other day (wrong time, guess work let her go early) dog didn't notice her pull...

You said those blades are stainless steel? Stainless is known to be terrible in applications where flexing, and durability are concerned (look up what happens when people try to use a stainless sword or the like, QVC had an on air incident where somebody tapped a stainless el cheapo sword...

One time on a test drive I had the driver side door (on a car that had a 'use passenger door only note') fall off when i did a left turn. Pulled into a parking lot, tossed the door in the backseat and cut the drive short.

No real story here. Some inexperienced wrench messed up, whatever shop he works at (this time jiffy lube) is going to foot the bill and he will be looking for a new job. The vehicle owner is a little naive/inexperienced himself 'I never heard of a mechanic test driving a car after a brake job!'...

caught the 55 ford f-100 episode tonight, they pulled a motor out of a galaxie (289 i suppose) and decided to see if it ran, it ended up starting for them, of course they said that they now had a running motor. Earlier in that episode jason said that parts and motor rebuilding were money they...

honestly a LOT of cars get parted out (on here even) that are not really in that rough of shape, every one seems to buy a half decent car (about 75% where that want it to be) and has to get a parts car that's only a few steps below the other car, but has a few pieces they need to complete the...

agreed with the above, I heard that about the supposed anti-semetic comment and got a laugh. All he did is state a name he read off the end credits (or whatever) of the show and say that to get a little raise in people, and automatically it's a slur? And face it... what man if given the chance...

no those coffee can mufflers (actually seen a folger's can used once... but that's a different story) are just annoying as hell. Makes the car sound like a weed whacker. Working at a shop that also does exhaust we have other names for them; Fart cannon mosquito maker Bug Fogger And of...

man, 40 years ago, no one in there right mind would figure that we'd be runnign these cars 40 years down the line! For crying out loud, everyone was figuring on us having rocket and jet cars by the year 2,000. Curse you George Jetson!

Until I can pull the motor out of my daily driver (68 camaro is the car I went against the supra with, not one of my two mopars) and fix the presumably spun bearing and put in a new rear main seal I hope I don't get to see an rb26 motor. Yep, that's right beating that supra beat the ever...
