Walk away from that car.

I have had transmissions where it was hard to get in first gear. I found if you put it in reverse first then it would go easily into first and I was able to use that transmission until the end of the life of that vehicle.

Temperature at Groom Lake is still in the mid 90’s during the day with no cloud cover. They better bring their parasols. My prediction is a big fizzle.

We just bought an 05 Elantra GT for my daughter for $600, it needed an exhaust and a wheel bearing. She loves it because they don’t have to worry about what happens to it. Runs and drives great now. Ugly as sin though with pealing clear coat in a few spots. Good cars.

I’ve had good luck with Hyundai’s both as a new car and as a beater. There are several on Richmond Craigslist right now for a grand and under.

Probably an 1987 that was built in 1986. I know several people that refer to the year of the car by the build date, not the model year like the emissions sticker says.

Some XJ Country’s up to 96 had them.

Ditto on the shadow box. It’s more art than clothing. Nice score.

Did you dump the gas out and try it with fresh gas?

Don’t skimp on your socks, I did for years and my feet were a mess. I started wearing only wool socks about 4-5 years ago and my feet are in great shape with no more calluses or other troubles. Everybody says they must be hot but I find that they aren’t any warmer than the flimsy Hanes socks I used to get at walmart. They are expensive at $16-$23 a pair but they have lasted extremely well. Made from Alpaca wool. I have about 8-9 pair in rotation and the oldest ones look to have several years left on them.

Go out to Montana, go to any parking lot. You’ll see a half dozen dogs in the beds of pickup trucks all ignoring each other. You never see that in the Northeast.

I started wrenching when I was 16 in 1980 when I bought a 1970 Ford Maverick for $25. My dad only gave me two pieces of advice when I was first starting to work on it. Discs are easier than drums and only dismantle one side at a time so you can see how to put it back together correctly. It was drums all around and all the lines were rotten. I still have the brake pliers and stamped tubing bender I did the job with. Didn’t even use a manual. Just figured it out and did it.

I’ve seen the Shockwave at the Airshow at the Westover AF reserve base in Chicopee Mass. I have also seen Bob Motz in the truck he had before it burned up in 2007. 185 mph in a Peterbuilt driven by an F4 Phantom engine. Way cooler than 3 helicopter turbines.

Some Diamond T’s

You could get an early 93 ZJ that came with an AW4. I’ve seen one. Only one. Probably very few left.

Nice 1960 Coupe DeVille

Eww!

A communist interpretation of a Fiat. So...

Crappy Italian car maker merges with crappy French car maker, what could possibly go wrong?

Most likely thermostat.

Speaking of manifolds, I would like to see someone try a 99+ equal length manifold adapted to a carburetor. I feel that would have the best chance of flowing fuel evenly. Plus you get away from the 4.0 efi system limitations if you use the Fitech GO Efi system. But in the end you’ll still be spending much more for a marginal outcome then just by jamming a 5.3, 6.0 or 6.2 in it.

When I first got mine in 2011 I wanted to do the update. I never did and now I wouldn’t think of doing it because there aren’t many MJ’s or pre 97 XJ’s around anymore.
