    Impressive!!!

    Here, highlighted the problem. We could keep ICE around and have much more efficient and fun vehicles if that agency didn't get involved. We had vehicles getting 60MPG in the 1980's. The designs were deemed both not safe enough and would not pass emissions only a few short years later. And to...

    Who Likes Ships? We Have Aircraft and Trains.

    The Ise could not retrieve it's own aircraft. Sea planes with the crane, but it was mostly supposed to ferry aircraft to islands air bases and not act as a carrier. This conversion was done late in the war out of desperation and a realization the gun ships were basically of no more use by the...

    Who Likes Ships? We Have Aircraft and Trains.

    That giant tower did not stop it from being torpedoed by PT boats in the end. Of course, you can't really fault the ship for the choices of the commander. Evaluation of the Fuso and Yamashiro also showed it was an obsolete design by the time the war started, with so many turrets the majority...

    MotorTrend Acquired by Hearst

    Car and driver is the most obvious paid shill opinion rag I have ever read. I mean it is good if the brand stays alive, but I don;t presume this is good just because it is alive. It might all be gutted and turned into "brand leverage" for the globalist auto corps to pay into for more shill...

    Impressive!!!

    98/99 you can get with no factory steps, no 3rd seat, and a 5.9 with an old style transfer case so you can actually put it in 2wd instead of full time AWD. You could also get a 2wd version with no 4wd, but not with a 5.9. 2wd 5.2 no 3rd row/steps brings the factory weight down to about 3650, or...

    Impressive!!!

    To be fair, I live in BFE WI and I can floor it to 90mph every single day pulling out onto the mostly empty highway on my way to work if I want. Not everyone lives in a city. That said, winding up a snarling V8 is and always will be 1000% more entertaining than the fastest EV.

    Impressive!!!

    Yes, they can make 6000lbs EV's move right out. Buddy had a 600HP fox body 20 years ago that pulled 9's in the 1/4. So 11.5 makes me wonder how it can do 60 in 3.3 but not do better than 11.5..... Also, notice how not a single EV article talks about how the new EV model set a lap record on the...

    WTF is it with Subaru Drivers?

    I mean there is always exceptions, but stereotypes exist for a reason.......

    Rich kid cars.

    I was in HS in the 1990's. I also was in HS in a town of about 4000 at that time. So not exactly a lot of rich kids, and this was the tail end of family farms in WI, so mostly a mix of failing family farm kids and city kids. The one rich kid, that was actually rich AF, got handed his dad's...

    Made In America Grill Brush (video)

    The newest car I own is a 2013 Charger. It was made in Canada with various parts, but a lot of it from USA and Canada. At least not Asia. I have been debating selling it of late. My 2002 Silverado was made here. My 98 Dakota was made here. My 94 Mustang(sold to my boy now, but in the shed)...

    Made In America Grill Brush (video)

    People that apologize for the globalists wanting global manufacturing and super cheap exploited labor do not have a good picture of what they are apologizing for. But that is a topic for the political section. We can make anything in this country, and people just need to understand they should...

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    And that is a real shame, because they are about impossible to find now. The slogan was correct. I am older now but still weigh almost 300lbs and sleep on my side. No regular mattress is designed to allow for this, but the old water bed years back? Water conforms and allowed my shoulder to ride...

    I went back in time today

    All you need is the harvest gold and/or the pink/salmon color bathroom to complete the collection. BTW, (not mine) this is what I mean about not discarding the blue or green toilets...

    Never saw this before

    LOL Well the pink label is obviously a joke, I bet it is a regular can of tuna or something underneath. Curiosity says I should encourage you to find out, but the responsible side of me says, you can't put it back after and then what fun is it when it is a pink label and a can of tuna? If you...

    Ford's answer to the Hellcat?

    Well good for Ford if they actually do this, even though the show car is ancient history by now. One note: As if this is what an engine bay would look like in 2025! HAHAHAHA, the only part of this that would remain visible under all the emissions and CPU's would be the little placard/signage...

    I went back in time today

    Want to see something funny? Look up what your standard Home Depot toilet costs. Now look up what a "custom color" green/blue/beige/whatever costs. You can get new, solid brass, natural rubber seals, designed to fit new hardware for the tank online. Is it Kohler? My house had a show/tub and...

    That would be a rare find. I wonder if it actually took damage and sank or if something else happened.

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    The proliferation of electricity and invention of refrigeration were both driven by the warm beer situation. In WI at least. Kidding. Carroll Shelby as a youth/rascal participated in some beer case heists from behind a couple local Texas bars with a friend that has access to a car. Yes, it...

    His name was Nipper. Sounds cute, until you think about how he probably got that name lol.
