and that is the risk you take with a brand new car if you insure for Actual Cash Value. It's only about $100 to add Total Replacement Cost to your policy. A choice every new car buyer should be aware of.

Better than losing a classic car in a crash. It's a brand new car being manufactured right now. Let the insurance order another one and if the license plates did not get damaged, ONLY the VIN number will be different. Lose a fox or a musclecar and it will most likely NEVER be replaced with the...

There was never

A boat. Ray's response is dead on. I've been in a 15 A8. With 3.09 gear and drag radials it goes 10.8 at 127. Been on long drives, short drives, blasts on back roads. Not once was the size of the car a problem. In fact on the open road I'm glad it is not a tiny car. The size is to be...

You have a good ear Rich, better than my knock sensor. Actually it had no knock sensor, they never heard of knock sensor in those years. It had a distributor with weights and springs and vacuum pod for ignition timing advance. Alot of wrench time to dial that stuff in a truthfully I didn't...

There are many ways to do it but a lot of it depends on the clutch and transmission. Without disengagement and strong synchronizers, quick will not be possible. A truck, with a heavy disc and wide ratios will need more time to shift gears. vs A light clutch and small transmission like the VW...

What's with the LeSabre at 1:33?

Save it Razor, you are just making water.

5 years is another key factor here. It may have a ton of miles on it but it has not seen alot of time or cold starts. Try that shit in a Canadian winter and call me at 500,000. I'd also like to know what shit job needs you to drive 500 miles per day?

It's the danger of open wheel racing. Her car came in contact with another car and she lost her wheel, lost control and the wings for downforce became wings for flight.

The exhaust is a pair of long tube headers, H pipe with catalytic converters and a pair of Flowmaster mufflers. No line lock. You can tell by the way the car jumps forward a few inches. I honed the technique in my 87 Dodge Ram.

Both the 90 and the 93 Cobra master cylinder will work. I've tried both and all the Cobra one does is increase the piston size 1/16". It changes pedal feel slightly but neither one will cause problems.

Leaving a friend's place after a afternoon BBQ. Mostly GM presence in the group so I had to represent. Nobody was harmed in this video.

Starting a car to charge the battery is not good for the engine. It will not create enough heat to rid of condensation in the crankcase. The procedure will NOT ruin a car after a few cycles but moisture in the engine and exhaust is bad in the long run. By the way, coolant temperature is not oil...

Is this an AC car missing the AC?

Not sure I agree with changing the timing vs rpm. While it does sound logical max power is made at a particular timing and most tuners will lock it there for the entire rpm band. As for the tuner at Shelby. As long as the air/fuel ratio are correct, which is just as important to making max...

Mopars from the muscle car era usually get me pretty excited but that 68 needs some different wheels and colour.

Don't forget to mention rolling pins = valvetrain, spatula = lifters, measuring cups= physical engine size, baking pans = rocker or valve covers. The 4 valve requires twice as many or a bigger footprint which in this case is a bigger kitchen. I'm a fan of multivalve but 2 valve is only a minor...

Does it always involve an accident of almost an accident to become labelled a bad driver? I mean lack of signalling makes alot of drivers angry, hogging the passing lane is another popular mistake. Do you do this? I try to take pride in my driving that mostly goes unappreciated like...

The throw out bearing is supposed to have slight pressure in the pressure plate fingers. Introducing free play is unnecessary for any car made in the last 30 years. I hear claims of ruining dozens of bearings on weekend driven cars, yet true daily drivers can last 15 years with over 300,000...

I have a knocking noise when I apply the brakes in reverse. Basically the brake pad has a spring clip to push the pads forward in the mount. This keeps them from rattling around. When I apply the brakes. The pad want to go forward in the mount. It's already there. This is good. When I...

Probably going to wear one of my Mustang shirts. If you bow down before me, I will kick you in the head.:bash::bash: Warning, I carry no money:-D

Is there any navigational GPS that have a feature to let you know if you are speeding?

What would the quarter mile time - mph be for a reg cab, shortbox 5.4L?

I want to stick the LX emblem back on the trunk lid in the proper location. Can you measure the distance from the left edge to the emblem and from the bottom up to the emblem for me please.
