Hard to say! But I think it would have been the 72 Olds Delta 88 with the 455 my Ma had when I was a tike. Never frove it, obviously. But the stuff that came after was a 1980 Ford LTD, a 1983 Chevy Caprice wagon(that was actually a very, VERY nice car for the era) and then an assortment of...

The right color and the right set of wheels makes those cars look tough. Lower classman in high school had a red one and put some aftermarket chrome wheels on with wider rubber and whiteletters. He had a 5.0 in his. Was not the fastest car on the lot but it was one of the nicer cars in our...

The Ford curse. Ford engineers would make something good, then the bean counters and leadership found a way to make it into a bland, forgettable car. The engine specs are good, 429's had a lot of grunt and spun up better than a 460. I am sure Ford put a rev limiter on it, choked it through a 2"...

Aluminum slots look good on about anything, but they have that day 2 vibe unless you shine them up like chrome. I like gearhead stuff, so I like them shiny or in 30 year old "oxidzed matte" lol. Cragers and Magnums are everywhere on these cars, I think they might be the default for the cars...

I would buy that in a heartbeat. Except it would cost half the asking price to get it to WI. Can't drive it here anymore, salt season has begun. I would daily that thing to work all summer. Might not be the fastest, but it would be like driving my couch and do righteous burnouts on demand.

World War 2, August, 1944. Japanese Light Cruiser Natori is hit and sunk by an American submarine torpedo. With no allied ships nearby, Natori went down with 550 men lost. A few survivors were picked up by American forces days later, a few in the water and even later one in a raft. Unknown...

I had a similar experience with customer service 20 years back when I was working on a 90's Mustang. Except it was from a much bigger outfit then this guy. I bought the part I wanted, and once i got shipping and tracking, I replied to the last email how I felt about the communication. A...

You can find identical kits on ebay for half the price.

The hurricane 6 does not have a dipstick. It never did. When a dummy light comes on you go to the dealer so they can decide if it is an oil change or whatever. I wonder if that is part of the warranty.....

They taught people how to handle that in drivers Ed. Oh yeah, they don;t do that in school anymore. In WI, a parent can go sign off for the state and they just hand a license to the kid. (It's a bit more detailed then that but not really, put that in place during coof years)

All these years later they finally make an AWD scat pack for my WI winters, and it is attached to a 6 banger with no dipstick. Some people are going to love this, and I am sure it is a fun ride. It sounds like a Euro car but won't handle like one. It probably costs like one, and you have to...

To answer OP's question: it depends who you ask. Times are different in the midwest. There is this ever growing concept that if you don't have turnover in your company, you will never see new ideas and you will miss out on new employees that want to work harder to prove themselves. Tenured...

Dryer sheets have always worked for me. The trick is they only last maybe 5 months tops, after that the artificial chemical whatever that wildlife don;t like goes away and they turn into little mouse blankets. So you can put them all over in the car this time of year and just remember by March...

Dakota. 318, the mpg are good enough, the electronics don't fail, and the stuff to repair the mechanicals is dirt cheap and easy. My 98 5.2 5 speed manual easily averaged 19mpg combined on my 50/50 highway/small town commute. I would expect a sharp drop off in MPG for an auto.... in town...

As many others have said, there may be a cause rooted in over charging or otherwise. For general PM, clean them all up very well. Put one of those oil soaked felt washers over the post before you clamp cable on. Once the cable is on, put some grease or one of the spray products over the top of...

Hot rodding is an interesting hobby. You guys down south have old cars and trucks coming out of your ears to the point you crush stuff us guys up north would pay good money for. Meanwhile, salt eats everything here and returns it to the earth and we have engines laying around without a vehicle...

This is like an oxymoron in car form. There are some jokes about the top and going 180mph but I am laughing to hard to put them together right now....

"Hey kids, lets go down to the beach and watch them blow stuff up." "Dad, what happened to the car?" "Don't tell your Mom."

Just saw this.... Going to miss Bob. Enjoyed reading his posts. A wise man.
