    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.

    CT5-V Blackwing vs BMW M5 VS Plaid

    How do you guys suggest they give EV "personality" or additional "driving experience"? Plaid is impressive but IMO no point to compare electric to ICE in a drag race in the Production car segment...apples to oranges. What I find more impressive is Plaid suspension/brakes/tires are up to par to...

    Carbon Fiber and Titanium

    I would think some form of 3M epoxy/glue for auto applications and maybe some rivets to clamp them together? Option B, Call AJ Hartman Aero and ask him. Makes all kinds of custom CF bits and could offer some help I bet. AJ Hartman Aero

    "Genuine Ford" part= trash. A rant

    OP, sounds like you can't deal with vehicle repairs. You just just buy new...if you can find one lol. God forbid there was a bad batch of parts. And lets be realistic, it's not "Ford" that made the tank... Aftermarket aluminum tank it is!

    Build thread: Project "Exterminator". Twin turbo 2018 F150 RCSB 5.0 A10 4x4.

    Thanks a lot. I have messed with wraps enough to know there are some that are a glorified sticker (PITA to apply) and some are a proper wrap with "air release" adhesive that allows you to work out wrinkles MUCH better. I want to wrap the back of my C5. I previously did a red/grey/black digital...

    build or sell

    It's a bad time to want to do either of these options... Do the lesser of two evils?

    build or sell

    If you build it, you risk extended lead times for parts and possibly higher parts price. If you buy it, you risk inflated used car prices BUT you can enjoy it now while the economy works itself out. If you go Aston Martin, will you have a car loan?

    build or sell

    You're already doing it wrong if you are thinking of selling a theoretical project car you don't have. All depends on what you like. The journey, or the end game? Building a car how you want? Or just owning the car that you want? And in today's market which is extremely inflated it's hard to...

    New Vehicle Prices...

    You can't fix stupid. People willingly paying $10+k over what the damn thing is worth is just asinine. How often do you NEED a new vehicle and can't simply wait for things to normalize? But hey, not my car, not my wallet not my problem! Going to be funny when paying that much over sticker only...

    Evans hit

    I never like seeing someone get hurt. Hit? Yes. Hurt?...no. You should know to look up earlier in those situations...eesh. Or at least look over your shoulder and not go in blindly. He will be feeling that for a while.
