    Precious Metals aka Not how a Cat is supposed to look

    SVTPerformance forum appreciation

    Just want to mention that this forum is by far the best forum I'm currently on. There were a few good ones back in the day but now most forums are full of retards and pussies (not the good kind!). The vintage car guys seem to think that if it wasn't done that way in the 1960s or when they...

    "Why Project Cars Take Forever"

    Got a good laugh out of this one. Needed to fix a serpentine belt issue in the '69. That involved removing the electric fans. That required redoing the fan wiring. That involved a new water neck, thermostat, hoses, clamps, temperature senders, Deutsch connectors, taps and other tools, etc...

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-ford-mustang-k-code What do you guys think of this one? The purists on vintage mustang forum and in the comments hate it! Lol. I think it looks like a nicely done restomod with the Ride tech suspension and the Inglese 8-stack EFI.

    Ferrari F8 Tributo

    So my dad got an unsolicited call from a Ferrari dealer with an offer for him to buy a 2020 F8 Tributo at list. He hasn't purchased a Ferrari in many years. I doubt he was their first phone call. We joked that this is a sign that the stock market hasn't bottomed yet. Still, he's considering...

    Venting: FEMA sucks balls! Stupid inaccurate flood map nightmare.

    Ugh! Trying to buy a new house and the FEMA flood map is plainly wrong is so many ways. Elevation, location, etc. The creek is drawn through the middle of my driveway, roughly 40 feet from where it actually is. One can plainly see this discrepancy on the FEMA supplied map. The roadway is a...

    Paint chip repair AKA am I crazy to try to spray this myself?

    Backed into a stray shopping cart at Home Depot. Got an awesome dent in the tailgate of the Ram. I was able to completely pop out the dent but some of the paint flaked off (down to bare aluminum) during the repair. You can see some additional paint is spidering below the chip. Am I crazy for...

    Thinking of buying a classic Mustang? Am I crazy?

    So because I'm a sucker for punishing my bank account and increasing my time in the garage I'm kicking around the idea of picking up a classic Mustang fastback. Budget is $40k or so. Obviously this won't be a numbers matching GT500 or some car that's had a rotisserie restoration, etc. I want...

    Funny or interesting license plates

    anybody have or see on the road any funny or interesting license plates? Not necessarily talking about personalized plates, but random plates issued by the DMV. For instance, my dad was issued "420 LGL" by the state of Missouri roughly in the year 2000 or so. No joke. He had it on his 4Runner...

    Talk me out of (or in to) a C7 Z06 A8...

    Thinking about swapping out the GT500 for a 2016-17 C7Z with the A8. I feel like I've reached the point of diminished returns on mods for the GT500 unless I want to spend big bucks to pull and build the engine and the M6 just can't compete with the new auto cars. I have the Porsche for fun...

    Finishing detached garage

    My detached garage is 22' x 18'8" with 10' ceilings. Completely unfinished other than epoxy floor. An exterior wall of the garage is 28' from the main electrical box. It appears that only one measly 15 amp circuit is feeding the entire garage. Even if there is a second 15 amp circuit (which I...
