    I don't understand how mammals survive such cold temperatures.

    Layers of fat. Multi layered coats. Strong circulatory systems for body heat. Our Creator is far more intelligent than we are.

    Women that wears the 'holy' jeans and crappy looking shoes....I don't get it when....

    "Broken in". I blow out the left knee in all mine. I'm 6'4", everything is too damned short in this world, and my right leg doesn't bend as well as the left due to surgeries and implants...so when I need to do something down low, I'm on my left knee.

    At what age did you start smoking....

    My uncle was a renowned surgeon. So was my grandfather. Never met granddad but my uncle always said "yeah...I know, but dammit it makes me happy so leave me alone". Guess what killed him?

    Temporary Solution Became All To Permanent

    Reminds me of the fuel tank in my wagon. Ma Mopar was smart and put it in the driver's quarter panel behind the rear wheel, like a suitcase. Everything the tire kicks up... PLINK, right into the bottom of the tank. In college (early 90s), I patched a bunch of pinholes with JB weld. It...

    At what age did you start smoking....

    If I weren't an only child, I'd say we grew up in the same house....

    10 Rarest Cars in Clint Eastwood's Insane Car Collection

    So wait. I looked but can't find it anywhere else...was Clint the anonymous buyer of the Bullitt mustang? Other articles I read after seeing this - trying to find out about the mustang - said he does own a Gran Torino. Maybe the one from the movie - car articles by non-car publications are...

    1980 Power Wagon starting issues when it gets cold outside....any suggestions where to look

    Check for intake leaks. Carb base, manifold gaskets, vacuum hoses. Depending how old and brittle they are...cold could shrink them enough to leak. Think cold header gaskets...tic (leak) when cold, silent (sealed) when warmed up.

    Cars Found In The Woods.

    Treat it like an auction. Have your limit ready to go in cash and work up to it. Either he'll say "sure" at some point...or he wants more than you want to spend, and he won't say "sure".

    Cars Found In The Woods.

    With cash in hand. Small bills look more impressive, BTW. Makes a bigger stack.

    7 year old "mopar" case battery by "jim"

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Dryer sheets around the engine bay. Bounce works best, but any will do - and they smell better than mothballs. Just don't put them anywhere so hot, they could flash-burn. Pack around the inner fenders, under harnesses, around the battery, along the firewall. Old RV trick to keep critters away....

    What fuel do you use for your Mopar?

    The '70 Charger (bone stock 318 2v) gets pump 87. Runs fine, no ping, no smoke, no stumble. Wrangler 4.0 has a usual diet of pump 87, but sometimes pings so it'll get an occasional tank of 89 or 93, depending on $, with a shot of cleaner additive until I can pull and clean the injectors and...

    Old people.

    I've been dead once...every day is a gift. Died in an accident at 34; 52 now. Too ornery to go anywhere, and when I do I plan to do it at 200 mph with (what's left of) my hair on fire. Still own (and ride) my 0-60 in under 2 seconds sportbike, and don't plan to give it up anytime soon. We lost...

    Ride Height Restored!

    Adding a spacer is not the same as adjusting preload.

    Ride Height Restored!

    And I think the car is a little high now. These things sat low originally Wherever you end up though, make sure you get an alignment.

    Ride Height Restored!

    Do you take valve springs off when the valve is open? Or closed? Compress a spring and there is more potential energy in it. It wants to return to its relaxed state. Same with a spring on a screen door - extend it, and it wants to return to its relaxed state. Torsion bars are the same. The...
