    Ultimate cheap driver's car?

    OK, folks. This thread may require you to think outside of the Mopar comfort zone. If you can't do that, read no further. For those who are a bit more open minded, I'm starting to look around at getting another car. What I'm looking for is a drivers car. When I say that, I mean a car that...

    Go see "Rush"!

    I saw "Rush" the other day. I don't follow F1, and knew almost nothing about these drivers, but it was a great movie- highly recommended for car nuts like us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aphGbb07xk8

    Need a smile on your face?

    So I've been listening to the Grateful Dead a lot lately. Yeah, yeah, I know- I'm sure there's plenty of people on here who can't stand their music. But for those of you who are fans, or those who just need a smile, listen to this. At about 2:20 Jerry Garcia launches into a solo that give me...

    Fastest Shadow on the planet

    Saw this article in the NYT, interesting choice of vehicle to sink money into. I certainly wouldn't spend $95K to trick out a Dodge Shadow to the max, but to each his own...

    Farewell, Crown Vic. You will be missed.

    You know you like to speed when you see a Crown Vic grill in your rear view, and take your foot off the gas in .000001 seconds. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/14/us/near-retirement-crown-vic-sparks-officers-nostalgia.html?ref=automobiles&_r=0

    1971-73 Coronet

    Looking to expand my Mopar stable... my sights are set on 71-73 Coronets. 4 door sedan, no wagons. Looking for one in good shape... not perfect, but free of any major mechanical and cosmetic issues. A 4 speed would be ideal, but I assume that's a bit of a long shot. The less modifications...

    Cleaning an engine... tips 'n tricks?

    OK, folks. The time has come for me to clean the engine bay of my Charger. I've never attempted to clean under the hood before, so any tips 'n tricks on how to go about it would be much appreciated. I have a power washer... but what product do I use to scrub off all the gunk that's built up...

    Worst engine ever?

    Hey all, I started thinking that it would be interesting to hear from those who work on cars what engines out there are the worst? Not just Chrysler, all makes. Have at it- tell your tales and fire away!

    Chevron Pro Guard Injector Cleaner?

    So I was at Costco the other day, saw boxes of Chevron Pro Guard Fuel Injector Cleaner, and bought a box. Before I start pouring, does anyone have an opinion on this stuff? Stuff I've read so far, people seem to think it does what it's supposed to, but I want an opinion from the pros around...

    FOR SALE 1964 Pontiac GTO

    Howdy, all! A guy I know is selling his 1964 Pontiac GTO. Since I'm not a GM guy, I don't know the details, except to say that he did a ground up resto on it, it has a "tri-power" carb on what I believe is a 389ci engine, with a 4 speed stick. It's in beautiful shape, saw it in person and...

    Locks failing right and left!

    Howdy all, So my Charger seems to be telling me something. First the trunk lock stopped opening for the key, so I gotta replace the lock. Haven't gotten around to it for months on end. So Avocado Gold got annoyed at my laziness, and the drivers side lock stopped unlocking for the key as...

    Admiral Motti will not argue with Lord Vader anymore

    Richard LeParmentier passed away yesterday. You don't know who Richard LeParmentier is? He's the guy who argues with Darth Vader in the first Star Wars, of course! I find your lack of knowledge about him disturbing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzs-OvfG8tE

    New Fiat is using a classic name!

    Don't know if you all heard yet, but Fiat is going to release a minivan in the States through Chrysler. I'm not even going to comment on how it looks, except to say that they're going to call it a Coronet! I present to you the 2014 Chrysler Coronet.

    My kid digs old Mopars!

    Tinkering around in the garage, my daughter said "Daddy, I want to give the Charger a hug!" Luckily I snapped a picture of this awesome moment. Have a great weekend, everyone. Hope this finds you hugging your Mopar too.

    Not quite so new guy with a '74 Charger starting issue

    Hey folks, So here's my issue. My '74 Charger starts just fine from a cold start when the choke is engaged. But if I don't give it gas for a minute or two after disengaging the choke to keep the RPM's up, and it stalls, I can't get it started again. It'll crank and crank but the engine...

    Installing tach in standard dash?

    Howdy all! Once again I'm dreaming about little improvements to my Charger... anyone have experience replacing the blank spot in a standard dash (when I say "blank", I mean it looks like a crosshair and does nothing) with a tachometer in a 3rd gen Charger? This is the piece I'm thinking...
