    That thing being called a dart makes me sad.

    Coworkers lack of care.

    It's hard to help people who won't help themselves.

    Fun Hypothetical ...

    McLaren f1. I don't care if some of the new supercars will outperform it. They aren't as pretty.

    Does anyone do this during an oil change?

    Drain oil. Put drain plug back in. Refill engine. Start engine. Run for a bit. Shut off engine. Perform full oil change. I do this all the time on customer's cars with really nasty oil. The oil count is just a suggestion, right?

    P0330 knock sensor '97 Camry V6

    I just did one of these jobs. Replaced both sensors and knock sensor wire/pigtail. You have to have a pretty darn good oscilloscope to check this properly. and you're already in there anyway. Best to just replace the whole schebang and have the piece of mind about it. So... 2 intake manifold...

    Do unto others - just the slightest bit of care.

    Seems a large portion of the population have no respect for the property of others. My cressida has been hit in parking lots 3 times now. It's REALLY hard to find a REALLY straight 89-92 cressida. I had one. Now it's less so. MADDENING!!

    I want a muscle car or big truck from the 70s/80s

    I'm in the same boat of wanting a rumpity-rump v8 classic american car. I'm after a Mopar or AMC. Most likely AMC. Marlin, Javelin, Rogue, Rebel, Machine, even a Hornet if it's the right deal.

    First handgun for target shooting

    +1 for the Ruger. I have a MK1 that is a nail driver. If you get a cheap mark2, there are "uppers" available new, with bull barrels, match chambers, etc. The Walther p22 target is a good choice too, but a totally different experience.

    Cars damaged by bad gas

    The bad gas problems we had a few years ago, was due to an "extra heavy polymer" in the fuel. (according to the fuel company) and was all over the place. They were paying (the oil/gas company) to replace the fuel injectors and drain/fill the tank. We (the shop) replaced TONS of injectors on...
