I just looked, and evidently the body on those trucks is made from stainless steel. IF Tesla advertised them as "Made with Stainless steel, so your body will never rust", then Tesla could be looking at a massive class action lawsuit. If they were smart enough to just say, "The body is made from...

I have heard that EVs take a much bigger depreciation hit than gas vehicles. I wonder what the real numbers are.

I hear you. I know they have our safety at heart. Don't get me wrong, I am just saying that over time, people will get to the point where they may disregard the tornado sirens when the last 50 times they went off, there were no actual tornados. I am very familiar with doppler radar. I am a...

@YY1, have you ever driven a car that you just hand tightened the LH thread lug nuts on? I am not an engineer, but I took several physics classes in college. Lugs are torqued for a reason. I agree with @72bluNblu about torquing and checking lug nuts. And I agree with @oi81b4uu812b4 that the LH...

Here goes. I did EVERYTHING myself. Bodywork, paint, engine rebuild, interior, etc.

Sorry, but I don't buy it.

I am from Kansas. I totally understand how dangerous tornados can be, and my heart goes out to the people who have suffered loss due to the latest breakout. I saw a tornado one time when I was stationed in Arkansas at Little Rock AFB. Let me tell you something about the tornado warning system...

I would think a 10 year old could draw something that looked better than this. Left handed and with their eyes closed. :lol::lol::lol:

I saw this Tesla truck charging at a McDonald’s on the highway. Can you say ugly? If you like them, I apologize.

My friend Mark is having the 327 for his 67 Camaro completely rebuilt by a local reputable performance-oriented machine shop. We took the engine there on Tuesday. The shop is beautiful. I was very impressed. When the shop owner was going over the options with Mark, he added that if he did do a...

Depends on what kind of Jeep you are talking about. A 40s or 50s military jeep might be expensive to restore and maintain, but I am on my 5th Jeep now. I have owned a 1995 Grand Cherokee, a 2004 Grand Cherokee, a 2007 Grand Cherokee, a 2018 Grand Cherokee and my current 2023 Gladiator. In all...

BMW = Bring Mechanic With you. Nothing against my FABO buddies who own and like BMWs, but I have known a LOT of people who have had a lot of trouble with theirs, and it is expensive!

I like the ones where the truck goes clear down into the water. I am not good at it by any means, but here is what I do: I put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, and whichever way I want the back of the trailer to go, that is the direction I move my hand. Sometimes it works out great...

On the other end of that spectrum, I lucked out BIG time on some parts once. In 1985, I was restoring a 65 Corvette convertible when stationed in Little Rock, AR. It was a factory AC car, and it was missing the driver's side AC duct/vent. I saw an ad somewhere for some AC parts, and I called. It...

@dibbons, are you allowed to carry a gun where you live?

They are right, and they beat me to it. I am really confused. You purchased a 64 Barracuda "project" car. To me that means it needs a lot of work. Work that will likely cost thousands of dollars. Why cheap out on the transportation home?

So sorry for your loss. I am 73 and we have lost 5 pets over the years. It is a terrible thing. Just think about the years of happiness and the joy and love that existed. Try to take joy in that.

Now here is a real Mopar wife. She is helping me strip the paint off the Barracuda, and then she grabbed a grinder and ground the leftover stuff off.

I am working on a GMC Jimmy tailgate for a powder coating customer. It is really rusty. I was cutting out a patch piece from some 16 gauge sheet metal, and the 3” cutting disk tool got away from me a bit. It sliced right through the heavy leather glove and wound up barely grazing my skin. Just...

DUMB ***!

Thanks for your reply. Although I think the single 4 x 4 post in concrete will be enough, I was planning on tying that post to the adjacent post which is about 6 feet away with a treated 2 x 4. I was thinking on attaching the 2 x 4 about 1 foot above the ground on the adjacent post, and...

I have a 6’ wood privacy fence around my back yard. It contains a gate that is about 5’ wide. I have had to rebuild that gate at least five times. I frame it with treated 2x4s, attach it to the 4x4 treated post with heavy hinges and then attach about ten 6’ x 5.5” x 5/8” treated pickets to it...

I had never heard o Starrett Tools. I looked them up on Google; they were expensive!

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

I assume Avenged Sevenfold and A7X are bands? Never heard of them. Maybe I am too old!

If you are ever on the Gulf Coast, stop by and tour the USS Alabama in Mobile Alabama. For one reasonable price, you get to tour the battleship AND a WW II Submarine. The entire time I was on the battleship, I kept thinking, "How does this thing float?" I understand the science behind it, but it...

You are right. There have been some good/great remakes. What I meant was that when I REALLY like a movie to the point I consider it to be a classic, I just don't want to give the new one a try.

I don't think I will watch it. I like the original so much, that I don't want to even give the new one a try. Same way with The Magnificent Seven. The original was fantastic, and I have no intention of watching the new one that came out a few years ago.

I love to see this.

What makes it junk?
