    Used car advice

    Don't forget Chrysler; the Kia/Hyundai/Chrysler world engine design (1.8, 2.0, 2.4 and Tigershark designs) was shared by all three companies, dating back to when Chrysler had planned to buy Hyundai.

    NAPA GOLD FILTERS........... AHHHH NO

    Well, you're the one who explained how Walmart specified a certain size of soap. It seems that they do indeed have something to do with the end product. But I get your point. I try to buy on this side of the ocean as well. It's too bad that some items, like a cel phone, don't give you any...

    Were fuel tanks painted in 1970?

    My '70 was unpainted, just the original Ni-Tern coating. My Spectra replacement was the same.

    For all of You Train Lovers

    Thanks for the history, the only part of CSX that I remember were the yellow Chessie System holding company railcars that sometimes came into our shop on the west coast back in the early 80's. The ones with the kitten head in the 'C'. Rail Pictures seems to think that locomotive is a GP15, if...

    For all of You Train Lovers

    A GP-35 would be pretty old (mid 60's), are you sure that isn't a GP15-1? I'm not really familiar with ACL, I guess they stayed on the East coast, but you're right, it is a smart design.

    NAPA GOLD FILTERS........... AHHHH NO

    When was WIX part of Champion Filter? WIX started in 1939 and merged with Dana in 1979. They were bought out by Cypress in 2004, with Affinia as the parent company. Man + Hummell and Affinia merged in 2016. Stores like N.A.P.A. and Walmart do have a say in the quality. They are either...

    Of course, for the people with real bondo filled holes, there's always magnetic paint that you can use to fool the fridge magnet.

    WWII And Mopars

    Interesting read, but they got a couple of things wrong. When they say that Dodge didn't have it's own 4X4 until 1942, they're forgetting that Dodge was already supplying the army with 4X4 trucks in 1934 (the 1 1/2 ton K-39-X-4), with bigger and improved models through to 1939. It was the...

    69 Road Runner 15x10 wheel on 295/65/15 tires

    You're right, it was the wheel tub that got polished. It's been awhile. :)

    69 Road Runner 15x10 wheel on 295/65/15 tires

    I had N50 Formula One super stock tires over forty years ago on my 1970, as shown here with all the original rust attached. With a 12 1/4" tread they were slightly wider than a 295. They fit the original quarters but after replacing with new panels that had slightly deeper wheel lips they no...

    the NASA thread and anything related

    Originally hoping for five flights, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter managed 72 successful flights, ending this January when a bad landing damaged the rotor blades. However, Ingenuity is still gathering useful information, it has enough memory to store twenty years worth of daily data that could...
