    Nitto Tires

    I had a hard time finding Nitto NT555r2 drag radials awhile back, back ordered everyplace I looked. I talked to a guy at Discount Tire and told him my problem. He found some on the other side of the country and got them shipped in for me, no extra charge. I got them for the same price they were...

    Mechanic's/Work Gloves - What are you using?

    I've read about chemicals soaking through skin. I started working on greasy things at about ten years old. I am retired and worked on cars for about forty years. Way back no one even thought about the hazards of having grease on your hands. When that info came out it was kind of worrisome. I had...

    North Carolina State Funds Revitalizing Historic Racetracks

    It would be nice to see them fixed up. I drove past Rockingham Speedway in 2018, it was sad to see everything overgrown and neglected.

    57yo male receives first pig heart transplant

    I have a friend that's had a pig valve for several years. The first time he burnt himself in the garage, I said "smells like someone's cooking bacon" it just seemed like the thing to do.

    Saturn V Launch w/ Enhanced Sound

    I got to watch Apollo 11 lift off. We were on the other side of the intercostal water way. I was 14, it was the most awesome display of horsepower I've ever seen.

    Am I crazy or is this a good idea ?

    I should have worded it better. I'm yet to decide the engine, I could do a stroked 5.8. I also have a Dart 347 that's not doing anything. For a transmission a 4R70W or E40D. I also have most of what I would need to turbocharge it. I already have a 93 coupe that's turbocharged and a stock 93...

    Am I crazy or is this a good idea ?

    I have this idea for a build. A 92-96 Bronco lowered, converted to 2wd, Crown Vic front end and power plant to be determined. Sporty suspension, think first generation Lightning.

    Jesus Palomino

    I see the soy BOYS of today and then I think of the young MEN that charged Omaha Beach. Some as young as 16-17 that lied about their age so they could serve their country. What happened to the youth of America ?

    Should I make a big deal about this and raise some hell tomorrow?

    I'm a retired Ford tech, and worked at several dealerships over the years. All of them had some really good technicians and all of them had people I wouldn't let put air in my tires. It doesn't matter whether you are getting your oil changed or food at McDonalds. some people f**k everything they...

    Jesus Palomino

    Dad was 45 years older than me, and he was 89 when he passed. I remember him complaining about aches and pains and I thought to myself it can't be that bad. I feel so guilty for thinking that now. I'm 66 and if it keeps getting worse like it has for the last 15-20 years, I don't know if I'm...

    Pit Bulls Are So DANGEROUS!

    I have a theory about why there are so many problems with pits. There is a certain segment of society that use them for a status symbol and or fighting. Being only concerned about money unscrupulous breeders breed as many as they can, by any means possible. Due to this there are many blood lines...
