    Motorweek: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    The hurricane 6 does not have a dipstick. It never did. When a dummy light comes on you go to the dealer so they can decide if it is an oil change or whatever. I wonder if that is part of the warranty.....

    Man, be careful getting back on the roads after drifting off the pavement

    They taught people how to handle that in drivers Ed. Oh yeah, they don;t do that in school anymore. In WI, a parent can go sign off for the state and they just hand a license to the kid. (It's a bit more detailed then that but not really, put that in place during coof years)

    Motorweek: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    All these years later they finally make an AWD scat pack for my WI winters, and it is attached to a 6 banger with no dipstick. Some people are going to love this, and I am sure it is a fun ride. It sounds like a Euro car but won't handle like one. It probably costs like one, and you have to...

    WHAT IS YOUR SKILL SET WORTH?

    To answer OP's question: it depends who you ask. Times are different in the midwest. There is this ever growing concept that if you don't have turnover in your company, you will never see new ideas and you will miss out on new employees that want to work harder to prove themselves. Tenured...

    Mouse proofing for winter storage? There's not a lot of mice here but...

    Dryer sheets have always worked for me. The trick is they only last maybe 5 months tops, after that the artificial chemical whatever that wildlife don;t like goes away and they turn into little mouse blankets. So you can put them all over in the car this time of year and just remember by March...

    Non computer controlled RWD with best gas mileage ? Car and truck

    Dakota. 318, the mpg are good enough, the electronics don't fail, and the stuff to repair the mechanicals is dirt cheap and easy. My 98 5.2 5 speed manual easily averaged 19mpg combined on my 50/50 highway/small town commute. I would expect a sharp drop off in MPG for an auto.... in town...

    Battery terminal corrosion

    As many others have said, there may be a cause rooted in over charging or otherwise. For general PM, clean them all up very well. Put one of those oil soaked felt washers over the post before you clamp cable on. Once the cable is on, put some grease or one of the spray products over the top of...

    Found a new project. Ram D250

    Hot rodding is an interesting hobby. You guys down south have old cars and trucks coming out of your ears to the point you crush stuff us guys up north would pay good money for. Meanwhile, salt eats everything here and returns it to the earth and we have engines laying around without a vehicle...

    Not mine..... LOL

    This is like an oxymoron in car form. There are some jokes about the top and going 180mph but I am laughing to hard to put them together right now....

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    PSA Pay attention out there..

    I grew up farming with equipment from the 1950s. Oak blocks are useful for a lot of things, including making sure multi-ton stuff can't roll..... or fall on you.....

    UFOs or UAPs are real

    Sidebar comment Maybe it is my age or what is going on in my life, maybe it is just how youtube people are, but I get SOOOO irritated when there is someone with some type of news and they make a 20 minute video. here is the thing: how do I know they are milking it out and talking to F'ing slow...

    Favorite and least favorite Halloween candy?

    I don't each much of any candy, and specifically to halloween not really at all. I despise candy corn, maybe some day in the past it was ok but all it is now is food coloring and congealed corn syrup with whatever random shelf life chemicals they added. Yuck. The peanut butter taffy is great...

    Favorite and least favorite Halloween candy?

    Boyer makes the best candy, especially nowdays. Mallo Cups and Clark bars have an ingredient list that is actually candy, and not a crazy list of chemicals like Mars and Hershey(and Reeses if they are a stand alone yet) have.

    SRT6 Crossfire with a wing.

    Mitsubishi Starion. Probably the most 1980's car ever made, if you exclude exotics. Turbo 4, but actually a pretty hefty 4 so it had some grunt on it's own, relatively of course. The dashboard is like the definition of 1980's. Reasonable condition examples(rust wise) are getting harder to find...

    SRT6 Crossfire with a wing.

    I am a gearhead so no vehicle is wthout some merits, well almost no vehicle lol. The dog poop joke I never agreed with as this car is essentially a porsche body with cosmeti differences on the tail light and front clip, but the general shape of it is similar. I did not know it originated from...

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    Depends on the car, and the situation. Do I care about either in my old Ramcharger? Not really, but I do like that it surprises people from a stop light. My 8.1 Chevy? Same, but I will take it up to a higher speed on the freeway because the crew cab is a tad more stable over the 80 mark. 8.1...
