I grew up riding around in 60’s muscle cars, but never owned one. I’ve owned a pristine Foxbody, and a Terminator. Enjoyed, but sold, both. I would like the next car to have these attributes... small block Ford Probably pushrod and carbureted, just so it can have a cam that will scare...

Just a heads up, the hamsters need to be fed.

Yes ladies and germs, the spouse was involved. No one was injured. But it was tempting. That is all.

Some uninsured teen ran into the back of the wife's Escape. Actually ran up under it, which bent the exhaust, which I have bent back, mostly, and boogered up the trim pieces below the sheet metal on the tailgate. All the sheet metal is fine. I am thinking that rather than fooling with waiting...

Happy Independence Day y'all!

Anyone who has actually listed a car on autotrader, I have one specific question. As I recall, they require you to list a phone number and agree to a condition that they can share that info with their "marketing partners" or "affiliates", or something to that effect. I found that to be an...

One of my sons called at 5PM to say he got a paid internship with a private employer through his college that starts Tuesday, and that the school asked for his birth certificate. What's up with that? It's a state school and his residency was established before he got in two years ago. I can't...

28 years married, and I don't have the first clue what she is thinking. Ever. In fact, whatever I think she is thinking, it's usually the opposite of what I think she is thinking. I think something must be wrong with her, because it couldn't possibly be me.

Every time I leave the tab in Safari where I have SVTP.com open I get this message when I come back to that tab. Been going on for weeks or longer. I'm running a pretty fast desktop iMac that's less than a year old. I don't get this message anywhere else.

I hauled my carcass all over an outdoor range stepping lively between 9:30AM and 1:30PM yesterday scoring about 700 targets (50 targets scored for about 14 shooters). Only screwed up one scoresheet (that I fixed) and thought to myself, "Dementia hasn't set in yet, old boy." Then I got up today...

Vert's only please. Please post your pics and describe what you did with specific suspension mods, rims and tires to achieve the look you love. My '04 is currently bone stock except for cat backs. For me it is more of a weekend haul-ass cruiser, so I'm more interested in changing the appearance...

For a '17 F-150, 5.7 bed. I'm thinking about those trifold tonneaus. Something sturdy that I can leave outside. I think there are some you open from the front as well as the back. I am only in and out of them on the weekends, but my truck is parked outside so I don't think I want a "soft"...

Co-worker of my dad gave me a '65 VW notchback if my dad would just get it out of the driveway. He got it from a high school shop class. I guess it was no good to them anymore. Cracked block, leaked and burned oil. Had to check/fill the oil everyday. Nearly no reverse. The hood would fly up at...

I'm trying to make more room for visiting family in a smaller residence and I've never shopped for sleeper sofas. The last time I slept on one was 30 years ago and it sucked. The two most likely people to end up sleeping on them will be my twenty something 6'3" sons, and for as much as a week...

with 35k on the clock. Looks like it was sold 3-16-15 according to carfax so I am guessing it has 2 months and 1000 miles of factory bumper to bumper warranty. Seems like I've read here the best newer 5.0s are 2015-2017. Did I read that wrong? Any concerns I should be aware of on a 2014 5.0...

So, I've been looking at 2017 Ford XLTs and Lariats in 4x4, Supercrew, 5.0. Price range around $35 to right under $40K. Mileage 3000-17,000. A friend with a small used car lot just got in a 2015 Ram ST Express, Quad cab 4x4 Hemi with 27k miles, and asking $25K. Same gas mileage and performance...

And by cold, I just mean 15 degrees, not forty below like some of you guys, who have my undying condolences. Wife has a 2014 Escape that was her mom's with only 12K on the clock and the factory battery. It has turned over just a tad slow the past two mornings. I'm gonna check the battery...

I'm looking for whoever is best to talk to down there about some possible work on my Terminator. I know they enjoy a great reputation and are only 40 minutes from me. Who should I ask for when I call?

I'm looking at a used 2017 F150XLT SuperCrew 4x4 with no back up camera, but I gotta have one for the wife if I decide to buy this truck. How much drama and expense to remedy this situation without installing something that screams aftermarket bolt on in the cab?

That woman I live with insists this is so, but I want to buy a set NOW, since the current pair is shot. I told her that most folks don't give laundry appliances as Christmas gifts, therefore they won't be "on sale". School me.

Yes, I'm the guy with the stock Cobra, who is forever talking about stock Cobras, but winter is nigh and I might want Santa to bring me some stocking stuffers. Tell me if this is a reasonable plan. Swap upper pulley with Billetflow 2.76, idler, and belt. Purchase SCT tuner and load SCT tune...

I'm running BFG gForce Comp2 275 40 17s on stock 9" rims. I saw a post buried in the "what mods do you regret thread" that said soft tires and tire pressure cured wheel hop for that poster. Not sure how soft my tires are, but what tire pressure would y'all recommend to try and improve wheel...

My wife showed me this just now. I think I'm in the Christmas spirit now. Can't seem to embed it. sorry. https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/935147767726448640

$24,000 - 31,900 miles. Located near Raleigh NC. Car needs nothing. Bone stock, and always has been to my knowledge, except for bolt on Magnaflow "Street" cat back exhaust. Factory exhaust in great condition comes with it. New BFG g-Force Sport Comp2 275/40-17 Z rated tires. Clean CarFax...

I'll dispense with the "whys" of avoidance and move right to the "how to's". This year I'm adopting the Ron Swanson approach.
