    Cat Pics

    Sorry to hear about Nyhm. Our first cat Puddy had squamous cell cancer of the jaw. Took her to the University of Wisconsin to see if anything could be done. No hope unless we would have had her on a feeding tube with no quality of life. She was about 16 years old when we had to ask the vet to...

    What do you guys think of hands-free driving in the newer cars?

    Another example of unnecessary feature bloat. But this is one that is extremely dangerous. Just about as bad as the accidents that occur when the computer directs the car under a semi trailer or the car goes to pickup the owner from a parking lot and hits several cars on the way.

    They have renamed 4 bases so far. Fort Bragg is next, and they want to screwup a total of 9 base names while spending 63.5 million to do it.

    318 MAX fuel economy builds?

    I had a '82 5th Avenue about 20 years ago that had lean burn and a 2bbl I rebuilt. 25 mpg on the highway was easy.

    Please forgive me my mopar brothers and sisters !

    Around '74 0r '75 I helped a friend put that same (but stock) Buick V6 in a vega wagon. Was a damned good idea. Looked that it should have been the engine used by the factory originally. I think we used an Adapt a Kit. Went in easy.

    Distributor refresh gone wrong

    Take the rotor that used to work in the distributor to the parts store with you and match it to a new one and return the old one. If you have all kinds of extra points why aren't you using those? This is getting more complicated than it needs to be. Go to NAPA or any other parts supplier that...

    GM must stand for global morons. Weren't the last Pontiac GTOs built on a Holden platform? Never owned a Pontiac but a car with a Corvette LS and a 6 speed stick should have sold well.
