Just want to mention that this forum is by far the best forum I'm currently on. There were a few good ones back in the day but now most forums are full of retards and pussies (not the good kind!). The vintage car guys seem to think that if it wasn't done that way in the 1960s or when they...

Awful. Yet another reason to hate new cars.

Got a good laugh out of this one.
Needed to fix a serpentine belt issue in the '69. That involved removing the electric fans. That required redoing the fan wiring. That involved a new water neck, thermostat, hoses, clamps, temperature senders, Deutsch connectors, taps and other tools, etc...

I want slick, glossy, ease of cleaning, ease of blow drying.
Ok guys, talk some sense into me.
Need to transport a 69 Mustang from Wichita to Denver.
All the big transport companies are heading to Monterey and therefore booked for 6 weeks.
Don't really feel comfortable handing this off to a broker.
Options:
#1: Wait 6 weeks.
#2: Rent an enclosed car...

What do you guys think of this one? The purists on vintage mustang forum and in the comments hate it! Lol. I think it looks like a nicely done restomod with the Ride tech suspension and the Inglese 8-stack EFI.
Mother in law has asked me to help her find a class C RV.
She has a sky high budget (LOL) of $35k. Fortunately the interior she can redo but it needs to be mechanically sound. Possible or unpossible?
best place to look? FB Marketplace? RV Trader? Fantasy land?
Any and all advice welcome!
Didn't see this posted yet.
Western Champlin put a Cummins 5.9 into a S550 with a GT500 front fascia. He's got a whole video series on the build. 7:30 in the video below for the start-up.
So my dad got an unsolicited call from a Ferrari dealer with an offer for him to buy a 2020 F8 Tributo at list.
He hasn't purchased a Ferrari in many years. I doubt he was their first phone call. We joked that this is a sign that the stock market hasn't bottomed yet. Still, he's considering...
Ugh! Trying to buy a new house and the FEMA flood map is plainly wrong is so many ways. Elevation, location, etc.
The creek is drawn through the middle of my driveway, roughly 40 feet from where it actually is. One can plainly see this discrepancy on the FEMA supplied map.
The roadway is a...
Backed into a stray shopping cart at Home Depot. Got an awesome dent in the tailgate of the Ram. I was able to completely pop out the dent but some of the paint flaked off (down to bare aluminum) during the repair. You can see some additional paint is spidering below the chip.
Am I crazy for...
I am not a fan of Salomondrin but this video he just posted of this car collection / museum / garage / man cave / etc. is completely nuts!

So because I'm a sucker for punishing my bank account and increasing my time in the garage I'm kicking around the idea of picking up a classic Mustang fastback.
Budget is $40k or so.
Obviously this won't be a numbers matching GT500 or some car that's had a rotisserie restoration, etc.
I want...
anybody have or see on the road any funny or interesting license plates? Not necessarily talking about personalized plates, but random plates issued by the DMV.
For instance, my dad was issued "420 LGL" by the state of Missouri roughly in the year 2000 or so. No joke. He had it on his 4Runner...

Thinking about swapping out the GT500 for a 2016-17 C7Z with the A8. I feel like I've reached the point of diminished returns on mods for the GT500 unless I want to spend big bucks to pull and build the engine and the M6 just can't compete with the new auto cars. I have the Porsche for fun...
My detached garage is 22' x 18'8" with 10' ceilings. Completely unfinished other than epoxy floor.
An exterior wall of the garage is 28' from the main electrical box. It appears that only one measly 15 amp circuit is feeding the entire garage. Even if there is a second 15 amp circuit (which I...
Let's say I have Groits Fast Correcting Cream and Groits Perfecting Cream and a variety of Lake County pads.

Guys, time for a change in my vehicles. Wife daily drives a 2015 Land Cruiser. I daily the GT500 and weekend drive the 930. We have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old. The wife will not drive the GT500 although she is definitely qualified to drive it (she used to drive an extensively modded WRX)...
