I was cleaning my injectors after the car sitting so long, just using one of those cheap fleabay kits. It's basically a plastic nozzle to connect to a carb cleaner can, and an injector pigtail with alligator clamps to hook to the battery. Worked great on the drivers side. I energized the...

The base engine does look promising, but it looks like its sporting a lot of the latest trends on all the ancillary components that focus on reducing cost and weight. Could make a potent engine (especially with aftermarket upgrades) but with a lot of day to day headaches

Isn't that just Applebees? I think we need to consult our resident expert.

There's stories of WWII personnel creating tanks they could strap to their aircraft to make ice cream at high altitude. My uncle employed a number of his friends and family to help build a garage. He paid them in beer. They started on the one end and it was nice and straight, but you could...

I wouldn't call MFDs "massive" and they also still have buttons.

It's no Nyquil chicken

OEMs competing to see who can have the biggest touchscreen. I know Cadillac is bragging about their 60" screen. Gotta be able to scroll tiktok while driving. Give me my fighter aesthetics back.

No no no you guys, you see the title of his book was "If I did it." Totally hypothetical.

That reminds me of this segment on Jay Leno's 1916 Autocar truck. One of the few times a youtube video that long is worth the watch and not cluttered up with crap. Autocars are still in production, and haven't changed that much. I'm kidding- they outsource a lot of their design, parts and...

The track and streets used to be ruled by foxes and G-bodies. The more common ones have all been ragged out and scrapped. You might see one or two of the nicer models that survived in grandma's garage, maybe a donk or lowrider, but the run of the mill Monte's and Cutlass's have long since been...

If anything LSD/ULSD is significantly cleaner than what is normally burned outside of coastal waters. When you get down to the levels of the less emissions friendly bunker fuel that many of them burn, that stuff is so thick they have to run heating systems to get it to flow well. Fuel quality...

I can't tell if you're talking about the pools or if that's a line from Married With Children.

I'm surprised they're going with a modified pickup platform. Other militaries are going with much smaller, lighter UTV type vehicles. The Colorado powertrain doesn't seem like it would fit with military doctrine- requiring very clean high quality fuel, and at least in stock version not very well...
