    Got the call…

    Congrats man! Just saw one for the first time in the wild a week ago and they look great. Front end looks real aggressive. Got a built Focus ST myself, so I def appreciate how fun and practical the hot hatches are. Would love to hear a little follow up review in a bit on how you like it thus...

    Tim Allen brings his RS200 to Leno's Garage

    That Subaru SRX, SVX, WRX-I...Geez lol! Poor guy seems like he's not all there. Always loved Tim Allen though as a genuine family guy. The RS200 always fascinated me and seems like such a cool car to drive. Ken Block really highlighted that with his RS200. Group B rally had the ballsiest...

    Where to get quality hose clamps?

    ABA clamps from West Marine if you have one near you or Breeze liner clamps from NAPA for local options. I worked on A-10 and F-15 airframes for a while, and ABA clamps were the only worm clamps used to secure various hoses and what not. They are the good stuff and smooth inside.

    Lightning EV vs Tesla 3

    Dude, there's a bunch of Tesla charging stations at this local Pilot travel center and the Tesla owners sitting in these cars look absolutely ridiculous and miserable waiting in their hot boxes... They have sheets and blankets tucked into their windows trying to keep the sun from giving them...

    Lightning EV vs Tesla 3

    I'll feel great about beating one. It's not the fact that they are not fast, it's the fact that most owners that buy them will think they are fast from the Tesla plaid videos they beat off to prior to purchasing and will think they are some untouchable machine built by Zeus himself. The good...

    Lightning EV vs Tesla 3

    Well looks like these will be very easy kills when I line my actual Lightning up next to one at a stoplight and the owners are feeling frisky. Can't wait to see their face after spending $100k plus on one of these and getting owned by a 20-year old farm implement. EV's are like taking one step...

    BaT - 2019 Shelby F-150 Super Snake

    Dude, that's awesome haha! Those trucks definitely look like ass, so I wholeheartedly agree there. I don't know what Shelby was thinking there or what blind 5 year old they have designing those bodykits and wheel packages, but they look atrocious.

    Escape plug in hybrid

    You're preaching to the wrong choir my friend on a performance vehicle forum. Also, vehicles are currently an appreciating asset due to the current market trends. Go on any marketplace and look at what used cars are going for right now, and re-phrase that statement. Granted you are usually right...

    Prices ranging around $3/gal for regular 87. 93 is around $3.50/gal. Choke on a big ol' Wuhan egg roll Biden... Bastard.

    I will miss you Ellie

    Had to go through this a little less than a year ago with my husky/mastif pup that was right around the same age... Got him a couple cheeseburgers before we went to the vet and held him the whole time. Killed me for a bit, so I feel your pain man. Time will heal, but the good memories will still...

    How did I miss that a new Motorola Razr was released?

    Yess!! The Slvr was actually the one I was thinking of that the Edge reminded me of. Funny thing is I got one of those too after I broke my Razr back in the day haha. Think I paid like $100 or less for it used in pristine condition back when phones were cheap and all unlocked lol

    How did I miss that a new Motorola Razr was released?

    The Motorola Edge reminds me of the Motorola Krzr they had back in the day too. Had a Razr and a Krzr and they were both pretty sweet! Price is a little out there though until I see how well it functions in person...

    AZ car registration question

    THIS. ^ The one thing I don't like here in AZ, is that registration cost is based off an appraised value of your vehicle. They likely adopted this method and algorithm from CA unfortunately. My Focus ST was over $350/yr for registration, whereas my Lightning was around $60/yr. Cost me only...

    ATSV vs C7 Z06 and few others

    Looks like she’s moving out hard. Why the second gear launch? Also, where are the times?! We need to see some time slips lol

    1961 Goldsboro B-52 crash

    Must be why Seymour Johnson always had the nickname Shady J. when I was in the AF. Stayed there a couple times on base, but never got stationed there luckily as there’s really nothing else to do around there lol.

    How hard is it to pass Smog? (AZ)

    I believe it’s two as well well, since I do have two soft codes in my PCM for my evap canister being removed on my Lightning. I could never figure out how to get those codes out of there even after turning it off in the tune, but still passed no issues.

    How hard is it to pass Smog? (AZ)

    This! ^^ My Lightning and S4 both needed emissions after I moved to AZ, both have no cats, and are both fully built... Literally was in and out of the emissions station in 5 mins with a nice big PASS on the paper both times. The key is just a proper tune with no CEL of any kind and monitors...

    Large Dog Beds - What are you using?

    My spoiled Mastiff sleeps on this. He has the 60-90lb one and he weighs around 110lbs and still has tons of room. I’m 6ft 200lbs and I can take naps in this thing if I want lol. Pricey as hell, but it was a Xmas gift. Definitely great quality though and will outlast my pooch for sure. He loves...

    Best Pizza in America???

    1. Colony Pizza in Stamford, CT. The original one is in Stamford that I like to go to, but they opened a few others and one is in Fairfield that’s a little closer to you. Pretty sure they sold just the secret recipe to the other owners for over a million dollars it’s that damn good. Sausage with...

    Beware of WeaponX Motorsports

    WeaponX scammed me in 2011 and wouldn’t credit me back after multiple coil failures in my Lightning after only about 6-months. The owner was a total douche to me over the phone and acted like his coils were made of kryptonite and could not have possibly failed so soon... Ended up having to go...

    Official 2019 Ford Ranger Dyno Test & Review - The Haul

    A diesel option would have been nice to compete a little better with the Colorado. Even a 6-speed manual would have been a nice option, but I know that’s asking way to much these days.

    Cryotreating: Legit or snake oil?

    The mainshaft, first and second gear in my Audi S4 transmission are cryo treated and they have held up beautifully to many AWD 2-step launches and no-lift shifts with 600wtq or so on e85. It’s more of a preventive measure, but it definitely makes a significant difference in the life of highly...

    K&N vs. Green Filter

    I just switched to the AEM dryflows myself. Made by K&N, but don’t require oil, so they are MAF friendly and the filter media looks much improved. Been running one on the Focus ST and Lightning for a few months now. I have heard a lot of people complain about the Green filters falling apart, or...
