    Bought another house -- Garage build

    Your place looks wonderful! A word to the wise, especially when you have the building skills that you have. As a general rule under the UBC, when you have more than three risers, you need a handrail. I don’t want you to get sued, with the plaintiff’s lawyer having a negligence per se argument...

    What cars first stirred your passion?

    Simple beginnings for me. It was a 1967 Datsun 510 with a 1600 engine; it was a hand-me-down used car (from two older sisters, first Lita then Gloria) to me. I loved that car. It seemed to have a limitless RPM range to my high school mind. Great idea for a thread, Klaus.

    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    Two responses come to my mind when considering your legitimate question: Response No. 1: My Father taught me in my youth to never argue with three classes of people: religious zealots; teenagers; and salespersons. Why? Because you will never have a rational debate. As such, I would not...

    Trans BS

    Who would have guessed that California Courts are pushing back on some Woke mandates: On January 23, 2024, Judge Christopher E. Kreuger of the Sacramento Superior Court, issued a Temporary Restraining Order against the State of California, Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Department of...

    What would you trade or sell your current car for?

    For me, I love and enjoy what I have, from a 1962 Thunderbird to a 2020 GMC 3500HD. My nature is to select cautiously, and then keep improving the suspension and handling of the cars and trucks that I have. Racing all started with my 2012 GT500. I first did autocross with it. It handled...

    Gun Porn Thread!!!

    TWA flight 800

    This is odd. With a loss that occurs in 1996, and a filing of a claim in 2022, a statute of limitation/notice of claim timeliness are initial issues that come to mind. If there were misrepresentations by the defense to the plaintiffs pre-litigation, that may serve to toll the statute of...

    What winter mods do you have planned?

    This San Diego Winter, I have two projects. One is to go front to back of a 1962 Thunderbird and make everything mechanically sound. I am doing everything from tearing down the electric windows, installing front disc brakes, installing a Holley 650 double pumper, installing larger front sway...

    How many guys are still here from many years ago?

    I have visited this site since around 2012. My 2012 GT500 was the reason. I do miss seeing comments from Van Collier.

    Just purchased a 2011 GT500 SVT. I have some questions.

    I have a 2012 and love it. I suggest that before you focus on the engine, focus on the suspension. Look at Griggs Racing. A torque arm with their watts link package is amazing. Consider getting 315 sized tires on all four corners. Griggs allows you to do so. Consider installing a Barton...

    If Las Vegas and F1 operated a ski resort:

    The fans were treated badly, including having to walk great distances to get to their seats. Fans also kicked out when they waited hours to watch second practice session on first day.

    If Las Vegas and F1 operated a ski resort:

    It occurred on first free practice, within about 9 min. From what I read, Sainz needed a new chassis and transmission. I read that Sainz could look through floor board and see road, meaning that it could have lead to a severe injury. Driver then penalized 10 places for new equipment...
