    This is legit and from the National Weather Sevice Storm Prediction Center. But as usual the Midwest is about to get shafted hard with storms.

    The K5 was parked maybe 100 yards from the gas station in town. So while I had the pump going, I walked over to look at it. It definitely had been rattle canned over rust. Typical rusty body panels. Front bumper missing. Interior is okay from the bit I seen. It is an auto, not sure if its one of...

    On my way home from work today, past two vehicles for sale, 1995 F250 standard cab long bed and an unknown year GMC K5 Blazer. The F250 they want $19,500 for it. The GMC K5 unknown price, just put a phone number. I don't know what's worse, people asking meth prices for older vehicles or people...

    Might have to dig through ARC Racing. Their filter system to find what you want sucks on mobile. I can find that gasket for a 212, but nothing yet for the 420. https://www.arcracing.com/search.php?page=1&section=product&search_query=420+head+gasket

    Waiting on tires for a 2014 Ford Mustang GT with the Gutbag 6 speed manual. Waiting on tires for it, might be 3 days. Way more fun to drive than the Focus ST we had like a year ago. Only has 36k miles on it. My dealership is asking like $24k for it. Way over priced in my opinion. Maybe $16k...

    Pretty much. Omaha dictates a lot to and its getting annoying. Better than my home state of Minnesota, but there are downsides too.

    Mainly Lincoln and Omaha have dumb ordinances.

    Fill up all your fuel jugs....

    He uses non-oxy ethanol free gas. I have zero issues with running Sta-Bil in my stuff. But I also try to run the tanks to empty, with the carb bowl empty as well. If there is any residue left, theoretically the Sta-Bil should prevent any corrosion to form.

    Fill up all your fuel jugs....

    My dad is learning the hard way that Seafoam is NOT a fuel stabilizer. It's a decent fuel additive that can help clean carburetor jets when mixed in with fuel. But it will not help stabilize fuel for over the winter storage. He's having issues with his pontoon staying running. I told him that...

    Fill up all your fuel jugs....

    At my work, whenever we do new vehicles fresh off the transport truck, it is our job now to fill them up with gas or diesel during the test drive. I had two 2026 Ram 3500 crew cab duallies 6.7L Cummins both with 50 gallon tanks. Both had around 5 gallons of diesel in them. Both were over $200 to...

    Some people deserve to be dumped in the ditch or a tree for doing stuff like that. Unless I made that gap for you, its for my own safety numbnuts.

    Says she could, might take her a bit. Only thing at the moment that has a manual gearbox in my possession is that old poorly DIY'd VW car someone fabricobbled (emphasis on cobbled) back in the late 80s or 90s. Still need to get a proper rail frame and just swap the stuff to it.

    Guess thats the benefit for me, living in the middle of nowhere. Most of my driving is either highway or interstate, so minimal stop and go driving. I just have a soft spot for manuals. Wife is the one that doesn't want me to have a manual. Her excuse is, just in case I get injured, she doesn't...

    VW auto-stick or is there a clutch pedal I'm not seeing? Either way, solid engine and transaxle in those. Simple to rebuild, I have a book on them, would have to look to see what information is in it, since its been like 6 years since I've even read the dumb thing. Also have one on VW Baja...

    Still have mine new in box we got 10 years ago now. Was supposed to replace a snowblower engine. Turns out, those have a completely different pto side than a normal small engine. So now its under my work bench.
