it's entirely possible that it would work even better now; someone would have to test. but exclude 2006 Miata from that! I discovered this when I had absent mindedly reached for the same pump I'd reached for for decades, instead of premium. I gunned it in an emergency on the freeway, and...

As long as it has bacon & cheese, I'm in for either! During the dollar burger wars in the 90s, even the upscale fast food places found that they had to have a dollar burger advertised in the window. Almost noone ordered them, but they didn't come through the door if there was no dollar...

the squirrel simply figured that it had found an automatic nut cracker!

ok, admit it. If your browser history was searched right now, it would included a search flor "dog hide curing time" 😱

Thanks. by comparison, for my 2025 Maverick lariat hybrid, which already has the larger radiator and AWD, the 4k package was only $672 on a custom order. (but on a FWD ecoboost, the difference would be a lot more!). For the extra $272, I'll take the factory version! :crackup: [but to be...

I'm skeptical about this report. Surely that much damage would have totaled a maverick! 😱

BMW did some research in the 1980s on engine efficiency. It found that for a given RPM an ICE is most efficient at full throttle (not particularly surprising, given the fixed friction cost). And repeated that efficiency is greater at lower RPM, Their conclusion was that for maximum fuel...

you're not really expecting sympathy for writers' cramp from writing honeydew lists, now are you? 🤪

The Town Car was a bit longer than the CV and GM. All in the back seat, I believe, like the 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood as compared to the Impala/Caprice and Roadmaster. Ford started using the larger body for the Police Interceptor and cabs, and then for all CV and GM. (Cadillac and the other...

A few years ago, one of our club members had a 70 cadillac that was overheating, but wanted to attend a parade. He repurposed the window squirt to draw from a jug and spray the radiator, and got through just fine!

an interesting approach. I ordered the 4k not because I'm ever going to tow, but for the extra towing (117F is a common august temperature here). How did the project cost compare to the factory 4k option? [ok, I'll have to find something to to just because the hitch assist is so shiny!]

uh, oh. You forgot to chrome them. Now the mice will eat them!

I had one for a week in law school when my dying car went out two weeks before finals ended. It was from rent-a-wreck or some such, and it showed. But then it went halfway into an intersection in spite of attempted hard breaking. I brought it in and demanded something else, and they tried to...

I haven't had to chase my vehicle in almost 40 years! The tail end of a 450 mile drive, almost home, but had to stop in a bad neighborhood because I was really low on gas. This was a '71 Plymouth Fury III wagon, with all its quirks. So pulling the parking brake release, I--whoops, that's the...

what, noone's going to wax nostalgic about the bubble gum pink escorts & rangers of the late 80s? or the similar lavender? :ROFLMAO: anyway, while's normally prefer blue, I would have gone fror4 eruption green instead. But my wife, normally a green person, chose the metallic blue, and it was...

At one point, I had my 1989 Crown Victoria, and my secretary had a 1987. The times I drove hers, I was surprised by the difference: mine drove more like a larger smaller car, while hers drove more like a smaller large car, particularly the "floaty"effortless drive, compared to the tighter...

the horror! 😱 :crackup: I was allegedly 57 (can't trust those calendar things; I'm really 24!) when I admitted/concluded that I was retired. Covid relief (not covid itself) wiped out my line of work (bankruptcy law--it took away the last straws that cause people to call). And I released...

My final tenants did so much damage that I was at Home Depot tool rental so often that not only did they greet me by name when I went in (as well as not having to place deposits, etc.), but when I sent my daughter in to pick something up, they recognized her!. I needed an extra air hose, and...

He really should have known better than to name it "Christine" . . . 😱
