    Ukrainian guy with the VW Bug at my church. Most people give up small cars when kids roll in the picture... But he keeps going strong: stuffed the car seat in there. What a legend! ‭Psalm 20:7 KJV [7] Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

    After NHRA racing my ears were blowing up... I wanted the full experience (since it's my first time at a dragstrip) so I didn't take any ear plugs/muffs... Big mistake, lesson learned. So to calm the ears down we went to Cracker Barrel for lunch. Idk how they manage to make food this good for...

    Failed motor and/ or transmission mounts that showed no external signs of their failure

    Good to know, thanks for sharing! My sister's 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6L developed a slight vibration. Very faint, but always there. I told her right away it's the mounts. She took it to a trusted and well respected shop and they said mounts are good. Since then we replaced some sensors, EVAP...

    Rislone Engine Treatment. How to Use?

    Before the oil change, 500-1000 miles. Then after the oil change, for the full length of OCI. In both cases make sure not to overfill.

    Oil Section in Chinese Sam’s Club

    Username? @TumblrDucks. Theme of the thread? Chinese. Which makes me think of the delicious duck sauce at my favorite Chinese takeout restaurant. So let's throw one more duck into the mix then... https://feinmechanik-rosenheim.de/horsepower-to-duckpower-calculator/?

    Tesla AutoPilot runs over and kills motorcycle rider

    Cain killed Abel with a stone. If the stones were blamed for the deed and banned, then later David wouldn't be able to take down Goliath with a stone. So I agree - it's the operator, not the tool.

    3,000 Mile Oil Change

    66% of vehicles in my stable are new-to-me, so they get the 3000 mile OCI, for about 3-5 OCIs. After that, if nothing abnormal is noted, I move onto 5000 mile OCI. I use mostly HDEO and/or Euro oils. Although I will say that the 3k OCI does give me the warm fuzzies from over maintaining my...
