I've been looking for a fun non-winter car for a daily driver to drive for work and on weekend getaway trips that will still get decent mileage vs. the truck, and pulled the trigger yesterday on this 1996 Camaro RS. It has the 3.8 Liter V6 that is 200 HP, and the 4 speed automatic, so it is fun to drive, but s...

Okay guys- here's the deal from TPIS- They will give us a special deal- $50 gets 3 pulls on the chassis dyno! That's a pretty sweet deal and they'll hang out until everyone who'd like 3 pulls gets the chance. If you were on the fence about attending the May meeting on the 17th, this should nudge you over the...

I'm a big Nascar fan, and today I was flipping through a book about the history of Nascar. Leave it to Smokey Yunick to make a 7/8ths car. It sounds like nascar started mandating a template to make sure cars were the correct size after this went down. I have to imagine that would have taken some time to buil...

I have (4) separate connections into my gas tank. (1) is into my Fuel Tank sending unit. But there are (3) others, one on the far left, one in the middle, and one on the far right. They are hard lines up to the tank and then the last 6" is hose to hard line fittings. I am guessing these are return line...

We were out for a drive, I stopped to look at a tractor and just as I was getting back in the car I noticed these across the road in a trailer park. It was only when I got a little closer that I noticed the Heavy Chevy decals. I don't know much about Heavy Chevys but I would say the sheet metal paint and decals al...

Looking for some feedback. I am looking at purchasing a open car hauler trailer. Considering a 18' steel tilt, or 20' steel beaver tail. I know there are pro's and con's to both. I plan on staying with 3500# axles, I have used a trailer with 5500# axles (beaver tail) and it sits pretty high, with sho...

I have been trying to get my spring yard and house chores done and finally got some time to get the car cleaned up. When I was finishing up I saw the reflection of my neon sign in the hood and figured I have enough compound, polish and wax on it for this year.

I'm going to do a swap, the 5.3 is cheaper the 5.7 are expensive. 6.0 and 6.2 are high also but i'm thinking it's better to have more cubes if you want more power right?? is there a big difference between the 4l80 and the 6l80 ??

I hear and see the term ‘Back in the Day’ used often. I understand what it means to me; at least I think I do, but it may not mean the same to someone younger or older. Does the genesis of the term apply to the age of our cars? If so when Derek says back in the day, is he referring to the early 1900’s with his mod...

Depending on how you look at things I am really saving LOADS of money at the company store. A couple of T shirts for the wife, a couple of umbrellas, some regular and a set of electronic ear muffs, some ammo cans for $9.50 ea. Gun cleaning kits for AR15 plus chemicals and the good cleaning rod. ...

Wife decided that she wanted a new car AFTER $1200 in repair work to her van this week. So went out today and she got a new Ford Fusion in a metallic black. Nice car now to make the payments and she will be driving my car to keep miles off her car.

Found this '71 on line that is VERY similar to mine other than it has black stripes (wrong width's....), AC, and a bench seat. Now I have some idea of what mine's worth, at least in Florida. Same rims other than they went with 9 inch wide all the way around. This confirms my decision to go with the white S...

This was sent out to us by the head of our I.T. Department at work. They're kinda worried about it - thought I'd pass it along.
