I've eyeballed a few new(ish)-on-the-market LED 7" headlamps, and one out of three of them gets a thumbs-up. That's the Philips H6024LED. It's made in Taiwan, rather nicely per my inspection, and it appears they picked one of the better beam specifications in the regulation to engineer/build to...

I snagged this pic from a Craigslist ad in 2010, and it's been bouncing around my hard disks ever since. From time to time I try to find more pics of this car, but I haven't had any luck. Anyone know anything about this car? I think that's a New Jersey licence plate on it.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a truck! (with at least two Valiants and a Plymouth).

I wrote to Slanta Claus awhile back. I've been extra-good this year, so I hope I get a Slant-6 aluminum crossflow fast-burn hemi cylinder head and an aluminum 246CID Slant-6 block to put it on and a NOS Hyper-Pak kit and a new-never-driven '60 Valiant to install it all in and a couple of winning...

As some of you know and many of you probably guess, I have a lot of car-related literature, and not all of it is books and manuals. Much of it is loose-leaf paper. TSBs, SAE papers, articles, etc. It takes up a huge amount of space, is very difficult and inconvenient to access and search, and is...

…who wants to live in this neighborhood?

Anyone know a shop that'll do hard anodizing on a small-quantity (two pieces) basis? Every shop I've talked to only wants to do production quantities. Thanks!

TD Canada Trust stole from me, and I'd like to cloudsource (sorry) some advice. For over a decade I've had a TD Visa card with TD Canada Trust, one of the major Canadian banks. Some months ago I was looking at my statement and saw they had charged me $45 for "Balance protection insurance" I'd...

My70b and Old man ray stepped up when I put out a call for assistance. Thanks much, both of youse!

My grandpa built what is now my house in 1950, and I'm trying to keep it as original as possible. I need to replace some of its light fixtures. They're no longer available. I've found a stash of mixed NOS correct-brand fixtures offered as a lot for a heckuva-deal price, but they're in...

This just ain't right. (careful if you click the link, there's a pic of a cat with the F-word in the caption). I am looking into alternatives to PayPal. I'm liking what I see at Dwolla and will probably sign up…all transactions are either free or 25¢, depending on the amount.

Subject says it. 11 o'clock this morning.

Now we've changed the clocks, there's greater car/pedestrian interaction during darkness and we are all at much greater risk to be hit while walking until the clocks change again. Be aware you can see a car with its headlights on far sooner than the driver can see you. Don't jaywalk. If you're...

(ref this long and contentious thread) I just happened upon some really good compact fluorescent household bulbs that are also cheap, widely available, and although they're made in you-know-where, they're from an American company (GE) so at least the profit stays here. They're the GE Reveal...

Monday afternoon, having taken nearly 500 pictures at the North American International Auto Show (on a press pass; my initial coverage of Chrysler's press conference is up on Allpar with odd page formatting), I had about half an hour before a meeting, so I thought I'd go back across the street...

It's easy to get caught up in the "Only n more shopping days!!!!" consumer frenzy, the parades and Santa Clauses and kids begging for the latest toys and games, the endless advertisements…but please take a moment to remember the reason for the season: The reason for the season is POLAR...

Now this is some Christmas spirit what I'm talkin' about:

Anyone in Cleveland feel like looking at a car for me? It's in North Royalton, looks like about 18 miles away from downtown Cleveland. It's kind of an A-body, actually an AA-body ('91 Spirit). I don't expect your time and trouble for free. Please shoot me a PM. Thanks!

Huh. Where is Chin? What language do they speak there? FAIL! This scam reliably reels in the haplessly and willfully ignorant alike: These lights are really cool. They are actually only about ½” deep, but they appear much deeper when on. Chrome face when off. They're just...
