A quick, good, and informative read about the engineering DNA that made Chrysler MSN A few points stood out for me, his formal schooling ended when he was 15, he was considered "quite intelligent", he was technically very knowledgeable, at 44 in 1919 his salary working for other companies had...

Not sure where to post this, this movie documentary is now on Amazon Prime. If you are an American and have even speck of road racing or any racing DNA you must watch this movie. I know it's about Nascar (a tiny bit) and the star is a Chevy, but it is a great movie. The Americans stole the show...

But not for Everybody. I have never seen one before. Speedway sells them for $105. Anybody use or put their hands on one?

So I have a new Alum crossflow rad I am installing, I am making some mods to it like moving/changing the in and outs to AN fittings, and removing the trans cooler. I'm not happy with the existing fill location/design, so I want to mount one on the top of the end tank. I purchased a small style...

So I was talking today to a fuel cell rep about his foam handling E85. In the conversation he mentioned that the toughest issue for foam was a wet/dry cycle, and said I would be much better advised to leave fully fueled during long storage periods, and before getting the car running again, to...

I'm old enough to be eligible for collecting SS, and today I learned, TV Soap operas are so named because of their early and long sponsorship by Procter and Gamble, a major player in the soap industry. Now I feel smarter. :lol:

I like to ride my bike, although it is only occasionally. This trick is easy, simple and really doesn't put me out very much, and I would hate to cause an accident/injury to another, besides, it is a violation in Florida to open one's door into traffic. Means I have to put my beer down before...

First I am a South Florida resident, if/when it ever gets to freezing, it's seldom long enough to freeze an engine. That risk I can accept and manage. I have too many animals that would love to savor the sweet deadly taste of typical antifreeze. I am not sure why I have to use the stuff, besides...

I can't find the tank thread, so I'll start this here. It seems current tank engagement doctrine in the field is to fire the tank's gun if possible, from behind an/obstacle, embankment, etc and then promptly move/reverse to prevent return targeted artillery fire etc. It seems that technology...

I recently attended a public workshop with Florida DOT on local highway upgrades they are considering. One suggestion they have considered is the traffic circle. They mentioned that studies show an 80%? reduction in serious injuries at a circle vs a regular controlled 4 way intersection. I...

I have no way to verify numbers quoted, but they all seem within reason. Worth a quick read IMO. They left out hood ornaments. (Ignore that, they did, my mistake) www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/19-dangerous-vintage-car-features-that-vanished/ss-AA1zKXD7

The puzzlement will be even greater for those who have already visited the beautiful iconic blue as can Crater Lake NP. They announced today it will be closed for 4 years until 2029. Only viewing allowed if I understand correctly will be by flyover (above)? No park access. Correct me please if I...

My first idea/task, and why I am posting, has anyone numbered/tagged/bar coded all their stuff and maybe organized it with photos etc, to help keep track and make it easier to find and sell when trying to wrap up projects or seeing downsizing on the horizon? I've got like 3 semi's of stuff, much...

Used exchangeable approx 20% full (500psi) Argon/CO2, 250CF tank I assume this is only for somebody in Fla, I'm not excited about lugging it anywhere east of the Mississippi. I have half a dozen, but I only want to sell currently one or two. My local welding suppliers exchange these for refilled...

So I have decent running Dodge Ram work truck left over from when I recently retired. It's a beater, but it gets the job done, and a replacement is soon in the cards. On Dec 18th I was transferring equipment from my 26' straight truck to a buyer's PU truck. My truck was parked 20' away, as I was...

Being a Florida boy all my life, I have attended many 24hr races there starting in 1966. I really dislike the cold. Being this past week was rather cold, heading north with no sun and lots of rain was not going to happen for me. However weather turned around, and it was a great race in all...

Anyone use or recommend one? I have some definite ideas, and mostly expect to do my own work on the car, but I'd like a concept rendering and get something on paper to see if I'm headed in the right direction. I willing to pay but have a budget, I want a car guy, not just an artist per se...
