    Redbull.....and Ford? F1 Content.

    Partnering on electrical components with a company that had a metric sh!t ton of F150's sitting in a parking lot waiting for electrical components...sounds like a good idea LOL

    New project - 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

    EESH.....005" clearance? I'd keep an eye on that...That's a piece of paper thickness and while it may clear now also think of heat expansion of parts and things flexing.

    All Inclusive Cabo San Lucas

    Wife and I went to Dreams resort in San Lucas. Wasn't the highest end resort but definitely not the lowest. Nice clean place and we really enjoyed it for the first time going to a "big" all inclusive vacation.

    2001 Corvette Z06 | Retro Review

    Same here. My 03 is about finished getting delrin bushings/camber kit/bumpsteer kits running coilovers. GREAT dual purpose street/race toy. My cam/intake/exhaust has me just shy of 400 on a Mustang Dyno and it's tame enough for my wife to drive/race it. Corsa Sport exhaust was AMAZING sound, but...

    Spy Shots: Jeep Wagoneer LWB Caught Cold-Weather Testing

    Working for a supplier to Chrysler...or FCA...or Stellantis....whatever they call themselves these day, I have no interest lol. The only thing they have going for them is the Jeep platform although event hat is overpriced. Demons are interesting but still archaic architecture that needs updated.

    Changes are Coming

    GM did this early 2021. I couldn't order a Sierra 2500HD. They were only accepting orders for AT4 and Denali. Luckily we found what we wanted in April '21 with a March '21 build date.

    School me on buying a new vehicle

    I can't speak for Toyota or Ford, but we were looking for a "new truck" and researched used options for a 2010+ GMC 2500HD 4x4 early in 2021. This was about the time the used car market was going nuts and used trucks were not worth the price when we realized what a new truck was. We decided to...

    I did a thing... Dodge Content..

    Aren't you supposed to remove the yellow stickers on the splitter? Head those are only for shipping reasons for people to not step/crash them.

    SRT Super Stock has arrived...

    These cars need a manual. They intrigue me but the auto kills it for me. Happy that they finally figured out how to put a decent size tire under these fat pigs with dated suspension architecture. I think these are still under the L-platform?

    Current New Vehicle Market

    Yea, you tell them! Screw them they ain't gettin your money! :cautious: I'm pretty confident that when I found a new 2021 Sierra on a dealer lot in March '21 we got it before they decided to jack up prices. AFAIK, local GM dealers still can't order what we wanted (2500 SLT Sierra gasser crew...

    Has anyone built a dog stair lift platform/garage lift or something of that nature?

    Harbor Freight has wireless remote options. Issues I see are attaching the "track/base" to the stairs stable enough to not tip/move. You can hide the winch in base itself at the top so the winch is always pulling the platform up and "unwinding" the winch to let it go down the stairs.
