    2005 Pontiac GTO | Retro Review

    I bought an Impulse Blue GTO in 2004. Upgraded the hood, rear bumper, tail lights, and wheels. Added Pedders suspension. I thought it was a great car until I bought my GT350. Sold the GTO and my HHR SS shortly after. I just couldn't drive them anymore.

    This is why cops shoot to kill when someone is charging with a knife

    I agree everything except the Stabil recommendation. No fuel additive will prevent phase separation of alcohol laced fuels.

    Canada is burning...I can smell it!

    Thank goodness for the jet stream. We had that smoke here about 3 weeks ago. Normally we get the smoke from California.

    The hatred for California....

    I lived there over 40 years. Saw it in the good old 70's and saw it decline. I always moved away from the growth moving from Orange County to Brea, then to Chino then to Apple Valley. I left for good 4 years ago. I still go back to visit Willow Springs, Fontana, Sonoma and a few other scenic...

    Yellowstone Season 4

    The diner shootout scene was apparently shot at a spot in Stevensville. The locals were very complimentary about the process. The crew removed and stored the vintage glass window and replaced it after the shot. They even hired local cleaners to clean up all the prop blood.

    Yellowstone Season 4

    It was kind of cool seeing the tent city that appeared at our old mall site when they filmed all the interior shots of the capital a couple of years ago.

    Yellowstone Season 4

    I like the show but I think it is truly sad that Hollywood thinks of Montanans and likely all conservatives that way.

    Judge approves class action lawsuit against Ford Mustang

    I run my car twice a year at Willow Springs. I have gotten down to 1:47.7 but that is with stock SS tires. I have replaced the rears one e but the fronts are still hanging in there. The first time I tracked it in 2016, it lasted the entire first session. I doubt I pushed it enough. After that...

    Tech car cooler install

    Looking at my tech transmission, it looks like the pump bosses are cast in but not drilled. I assume the cooler passages are also not drilled.

    Death of ICE

    How long does it take for crude oil to form? I know, we've been told millions of years for our entire lives. Is there really any study on how long it actually takes? We've been told oil is a finite resource but is it really? With all the disinformation se've been asked to swallow lately, I...

    Any Members On Here From Montana? Little Help?

    It is actually a misdemeanor to register your car out of state. That is in part why I actually moved to Montana.

    Relocating to Kalispell, MT area

    I live in Helena about 3.5 hours south. There is very little car scene compared to SOCal where I moved from. I have been going back to CA a couple times a year for track events. Great Falls, about 1.5 hours south of Kalispell has an active SCCA chapter. They run autocross in parking lots and...

    This weekends F1 crash... wow.

    I read an interesting article by an engineer and track designer that thought the guard rail did exactly what it was supposed to do. Imagine if the car had hit a concrete barrier or a tire wall. Penetrating the barrier and bending the posts dissipated a tremendous amount of energy. Maybe that is...
