I started out driving cab overs’ when I obtained my CDL. I got to the point where I could truly thread a needle with that darn thing’. While they weren’t a lot of fun for long hauls, it more than paid off in some of those tight docks in south LA. 🙌

‘Engineering Explained’ is always interesting to me.

I’ve lived in the desert most of my life, and the only practical solution I’ve found, is to change the oil and filters a bit more often. Worked with the folks in Army Oil Analysis Program out at Yuma Proving Grounds. We conducted numerous tests on various vehicle filtration systems and...

Even Florida gets’ you with their toll boths every half-mile. 🤨

Those are some mighty aggressive tread blocks, so it doesn’t surprise me that they chatter like crazy. 😳

I run mine once a month. I do it inside a garage. It has a built-in fan and battery sensor, so even though it’s 115, I haven’t had any issues in the eight years I’ve been using it.

Haven’t been to Death Valley in a while, but living in Lizard Spit isn’t much better. When I spoke with the HPL rep., and based on my driving application, he recommended 5w40 and I’ve been using that ever since. That’s what they use in all the border patrol units, so if it’s a good enough for...

Working on a kitchen project with a builder. Aside from that, just the usual gopher runs. 🦫

I have a factory staggered set-up, and in 76k I’ve never done a side-to-side rotation. I’m on my third set of gummy Michelin’s so I guess I’ve been lucky. 🤷‍♂️

I’m trying to think but nothing happens. 🤔 Waiting delivery of my HPL order, along with hoses in prep for a coolant flush/change.

Yes-sir-ree! I remember all of those shows when they were first aired. I was a young boy and Samantha made me realize that I had hormones. At the time none of the cars were a big deal, but she certainly was! 😍

Back when I swapped out my stock wheels with Forgeline billet SC1’s @ 4-1/2~ pounds less, I definitely noticed a difference. Roll-off from a stop was much more responsive, and breaking required less pressure. After a few thousand miles, I swapped back to my stock wheels in order to take my...

If it’s expensive, it must be good. 😬 Okay couldn’t resist, but I do prefer HPL these days’.

I remember similar vehicles for sale at auction back when I worked as a firefighter at Camp Pendleton. Many of those never saw anytime down-range, so they were generally in excellent condition. They simply puttered around the base delivering stuff from location to location. They were...

Not familiar with that particular gauge, but I would tap directly into the block. In the past, I’ve seen lower readings on a pan tap.

My son’s VW headlights were a little bit worse than the ones you posted. I took it to Sam’s Club and they did an unbelievable job. They came out looking like new. 🙂

I’m guilty of overdoing it on my car, but I wouldn’t have any regrets if I’m ever dumb enough to sell it. 🤷‍♂️

Legacy car fire vehicle…

So much for high technology California; analog rules! 🙄

My previous 2013 bug TDi was quite impressive. In fact, everything about that little car was good. Wish I never turned it in on the diesel gate offer. I’ve lived in the desert for most of my life, and I had three black cars so that made it nearly impossible to keep things in check. In 2016, I...
