He was a legend in Ford engine building. Had battled cancer for a while and was due to be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame next year.
I recently had a truck test the theory that 8 tires grip better than 4 at the expense of my Mustang. I just got it back Tuesday, and just my luck there is the Sherpa Fire 12 miles from my house. It looks like snow outside there is so much ash in the air and on the ground.
What would be my...

I was being sued for medical bills that the plaintiff racked up for a period of time. The...

Any NASCAR fans this will hit hard. I enjoyed hearing him call races and really enjoyed hearing him on his Sirius show.
When leaving the house earlier today I was shifting to 3rd with no load on the gearbox around 25mph. It would no go into gear and finally I slammed it into 3rd. Immediately started hearing a whining sound followed by what sounded like something bouncing around inside the case. Limped it home...

So looking forward to this. Maybe this will convince Fox to broadcast the V8 Supercar races live here in the US.
I had the MT-82 replaced in my '14 for poor shifting into 3rd, then 2nd, then no 1st, then no reverse lockout. All was well but there was some leaking right away. Checked and the fill plug was loose from the factory. Still there was fluid leaking. The new one would grind into 3rd. Well they...
I just got most of my Borla ATAK catback in for my '14. UPS launched one of the OTA pipes out the box when they literally dropped it out of the truck. So while I wait for the replacement OTA pipes to come in I was wondering if it would even be worth polishing the rest of the muffler assemblies...

Anyone see it yet? I am going on Friday to the showing in LA followed by a Q&A with the director.
I have heard the movie is amazing. I remember when he died, I was in 4th grade and literally inconsolable for a few weeks.
Sweet Lord in Heaven I hope this happens!!
