Traditionally American race tracks are run counterclockwise. So, tell me again, why it is an advantage in a racing situation to lean the engine over in the chassis in such a way as to transfer MORE weight to the outside of the chassis in the turns and cause additional unloading of the inside...

Stupid does as stupid is. Chocking the wheels? Really? When you add up the cost to repair all the damage, it's totaled, and the driver is damn lucky the explosion didn't take out a spectator. If I was his insurance company, I'd tell him "See Ya"!

Or easier yet, do a hotted up slant backed by a 4 or 5 speed.

Never expected to find Ford ECC help here, but this sure sounds a lot like the troubles my daughter is having with her 01 Mustang six cyl stick. I had her replace the the IAC, TPS and clean the mass air. Replacing the IAC seemed to tame the erratic RPM, but only for while, although it isn't...

NEVER underestimate the power of an overzealous and power hungry beauracracy to make illogical and overreaching decisions that stem from regulations that may or not have basis in law. That said, this fool created his own misery by trying to sell an untitled vehicle and compounded the situation...

My daughter has been taking family law cases and is local to you. I don't know if she would take your case or not, but even if she didn't she can refer you to someone who can. PM me if you want me to contact her for you.

This post inspired me to start a spreadsheet, but being that I aquired the first one in December 1964 and have had multiple cars at any one time, it's pretty hopeless trying to remember them all, and thats even discounting all the non drivers (parts cars, leaners, etc.) and non owned extended...

Actually there was a Duster package offered on several of the Plymouth late 70s early 80s models. Volare, Horizon (Turismo), and Sundance car lines all had one. In an effort to sell cars of dubious quality in a less than robust market due a second gas crisis (1979) and the Jimmy Carter...

Chevrolet didn't offer a 60 degree V6 until 1980. It was built in one displacement of 171 cu in and available as a rear wheel drive configuration only in the Camaro and S10 pickup. In 1979 and 1980 Chevrolet produced a 90 degree V6 of 200 and 229 cu in based, not on the 231 Buick, but rather...

P38, every key chain should have one.

Pay off the damn loan before it screws up your credit anymore and GO SNAP THE CAR BACK IMMEDIATELY! It sounds like she's not talking to you anyway. If the boyfriend stacks it, you're going to buy each and every piece of anything he hits. And that's not counting the lost of her car and what...

The user manual for my Miller 211 should be called Welding for Dummies. Plug it in, turn it on, turn on the gas, dial in the thickness of the metal you want to weld, dial in the diameter of the wire you're running, and pull the trigger. You really have to work hard to screw up a weld with this...

I tossed out the Mr Coffee years ago and refuse to spend the butt load of money needed to buy any electric coffee maker. I do have three french presses laying around the house gathering dust because my current preferred coffee maker of choice is the Starbucks app on my iPhone.

If you can keep the Obama crowd from tying their hands, my money's on the Texans. It wouldn't be the first time they've kicked major Mexican butt with a much smaller force!

I can't beieve I wasted the time it took to read this entire thread!

Pretty sick out there. When I was working out of San Francisco a dozen years ago I remember two street corner panhandlers being shot and killed by others wanting "their" corner. Seems there was an unofficial union of sorts that "gave out" specific corners and shifts according to how lucrative...

I seriously doubt anyone here is going to object if you show us more pictures of your Dart. I didn't realize it was a driver, very nice!

Actually, I ordered some small parts from a supplier on the east coast a couple of weeks ago. To my surprise I recieved an email from them a few days later with a USPS tracking number. I was able to use my iphone to keep tabs on the package virtually all the way here. I could even see the...

Although I'll admit the Charger I rented a couple of months ago had tons of interior room, was more comfortable to drive than anything else (of the many cars) I've rented the last few years (intuitive well thought out controls, comfortable seating position, easy to see out of, etc.), and was...

In Oregon, the smog laws allow (at least they did) you to change engines as long as the engine was an option for that car model in the same year. Being that the OEM engine used is reflected in a newer car's VIN, unless Cali has a similar out (doubtful), I can see where we are probably going to...

Which unlike the 318 is from an earlier family of Polyspherical engines based on and sharing parts with their HEMI counterparts.

Tell that to the Germans. After a 54% or 50.4% hostile takeover, I can't remember which, they managed to strip the company bare (relieved it of the over seven billion reserve fund for starters) and on the verge of bankruptcy in just a few years, then bail out, laughing all the way to the bank.

I don't think they were talking about early 80s garbage 301s. Pontiac did a special partial year, limited edition run of Buick turbo six powered Firebirds around 89 or so. I believe they had to use the front wheel drive chassis cylinder heads to fit them in the Firebird chassis. These heads...

First regular job was at a car wash, earned a buck an hour. Stingrays were what they called the new Corvettes, not a type of bicycle. Started out working on the vacuums and driving the cars onto the chain. A driver's license would be several years in the future, but nobody bothered checking...

Maybe chambering a round into a Remington 870 will get his attention. Think my tolerance is a little low? I guess you've never spent six days at your child's bedside in an ICU because a Dominos Pizza delivery driver thought it OK to drink beer on the job, and not only forgot to turn his lights...

Is much as I'd like to say Mopar or no car sales here, I'll be finding myself on the other side of the coin soon. Here's a little story that might put this issue in perspective. My mother has been having memory issues for some time. After she got lost and a perfect stranger had to lead her...

Same thing happened to me in my blue Mustang convertible two years ago, only the guy was roaring through a parking lot driveway late for work and hit me head on. I had just had the car painted and had driven it less than 50 miles and was literally in the parking lot of the tire shop for new...

Read the nomenclature on the "Eico" meter in the photo you posted (it does look the same or similar to the one in the picture of the girl), and you'll find it's a VOM (volt ohm meter). Study the knobs of the one in the picture of the girl and you'll find it is indeed set for ohms (left knob)...

If you like frustration buy a PC, or just bite the bullet and get a Mac, you won't regret it.

Not as uncommon as you might think, you guys had one nearly this large last year. If you're surprised now, look up New Madrid earthquake of 1812.
