My 05 3V has been running between 10-14 psi of boost on a stock motor since 2006. I have put over 100,000 trouble free miles and over 2,000 1/4 mile runs on it.

I hate the sound of a centri on anything but a track car. I have a friend with an Edelbrock on a Z06. That thing is quick.

What I would do to be young and without responsibilities again. I used to play blackjack quite a bit and when I'd get on a run I was very aggressive. I've won $25,000, $18,000, $15,000, $12,000, $10,000 + smaller amounts. 15 years later I still get comped in both Atlantic City and Las Vegas. I...

I shoot .45ACP better than I do 9mm. My 1911 is the gun I shoot the best closely followed by my HK45. I find that a .45 has more of a push than a snap that 9mm has.

Daniel Defence can go screw themselves.

72F 365 days a year. My garage is even heated to 72F. Go be poor somewhere else.

We have a 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT in our small fleet. Do not stop, do not pass go, run, run like hell. They suck you in with their nice interiors and power but everything in them other than the engine is shit. In 60,000 miles we have replaced the balljoints 2 times and it's due for another...

I'm a mechanical contractor. I've been installing ductless mini-split systems since 1999. The 3 units in my home are from 2001. They are due for a change since the newer systems are now more efficient and work down to lower temperatures. I have installed over 1,000 of these things and they are...

I wouldn't piss on a Jeep SRT if it was on fire and I was 60 miles from civilization in the middle of a Canadian winter. We have a 2014 in our corporate fleet (very small fleet) It was ordered loaded with the alcantara interior. Within the first 6 months they replaced the differential, drive...

Double Tap

I was jokingly going to reply Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 S Wagon but since the Porsche Panamera is in your price range then the E63 isn't out of your price range.

I just turned 50 this year and I just realized that I have never bought an automatic car in all my life. My work vehicles are automatics, usually vans or pickup trucks but not my personal vehicles.

I understand that you got 2/3 of your money back but in my opinion you don't deserve it back. I would go as far as saying you deserve what it would cost to re-coat the headers from someone like Jet-Hot. There are 2 ways to gain performance. Increasing the airflow and leaning out the mixture...

You are supposed to tear out drywall 24" above the water line due to wicking of the paper. As others have mentioned before, cut at 48". If the original drywall was properly installed it will be about 3/8" off the floor. Look for a drywall foot jack. It only costs about $10.00. If they installed...

Keep away from Samsung. I've installed plenty and their failure rate of electronic components is far greater than other brands I've installed.
