    Bring a Trailer is Dangerous

    Oil for cars that sit for months at a time

    I don't. But I do have dehumidfiers in my barn, and even house garage. Mostly as my property is 80% "forest", has a creek on one side and it really wet on average. Had white mold one year and got dehumid's then. Anyway, have 70 Bronco on 2 post that has bare spots on 1/4 I'm repairing, never...

    Grease that doesn’t leak in the heat?

    Same for me. Leaked like crazy right in the gun. Had to keep gun itself in a big ziplock, not to make huge mess just sitting there.

    Bring a Trailer is Dangerous

    Huge 4 eye fan. Always wanted an 86 white GT vert. Just have too many vehicles now, many that rarely get used. But already have two 4 eyes, one that was my first new car, the other inhereted from dad, who we spent 10 years building and he is now passed, can't really part with either of those.

    79 Ford Bronco 400 - recommend an oil to avoid another spun bearing!

    What gave it away :) Typically using factory recommended grade, Mobil 1 Extended Performance in FI engines. (mainly due to price from Walmart). My Fusion Sport is probably the best "test" case for a modern oil with abuse. (again, Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30). Tuned on 93 since about...

    79 Ford Bronco 400 - recommend an oil to avoid another spun bearing!

    Agree. I've had well over 20, 78/79 Ford trucks with "M's"(mostly Bronco's). Currently have two. My 78 gets beat to death hard core rock crawling. Has older 400 I put new cam/main/rod bearings in 23 years ago, just to bump up pressure a bit. The other is nicer 79 on 35's, but mostly gets used...

    Negative equity

    Especially with relatively "cheap" 10 year warrantee's available. Of course it does not cover EVERYTHING (like the first 3 years of warrantee on new cars), but it's a nice insurance policy, if you have even just one weird/stubborn electronic problem (lets say).

    Rhino ramps filled with structural foam?

    Didn't know about the 120 degree limit. I use flat stoppers, sometimes out in my pole barn. Don't think it ever got to 120, but easily over 100 here and there.

    tire mounted backwards

    Even if tread looks identical, some of the higher perf tires use different material compounds through the tire tread. Especially outer edge that takes most of the load cornering. Possible this is trickling down to "non-performance" tires now. Heck, they could be going the opposite way, make the...

    Rhino ramps filled with structural foam?

    Same. Maybe if I had to work in a stone driveway, I might not be so quick to roll out floor jacks on top of ramps.

    Classic cars restricted to weekend use bill introduced (Minnesota)

    This is how Jersey is. Making it day specific is pretty stupid, plenty of car shows/cruises, M-F nights.

    A good synopsis of modern engine failures

    This. I only have 78K, but it's tuned on 93 since almost new, making 350-360 HP (gross, and probably 430+ torque) and I beat the living snot out of it every time I drive it. I've had it on a full day road course twice, when I was learning, figured it was the easiest thing to drive (auto/AWD)...

    Media Is Lying About Chinese EVs—And Here's the Proof

    Because losers like our new NJ Govn, is STILL pushing to eliminate gas cars by 2035. Until that ends 100%, you're going to get pushback on EV's. And I'm happy to be one of those "pushers"...

    Crown Vic P7B...a good buy?

    Seems most Sunoco's near me now have 94, instead of 93.
