Peter, you’re my current guy-crush (managed to unseat Keanu Reeves). IMHO you, unlike David Tracy for instnace, manage to sound sensible even when you’re doing stuff that’s borderline crazy yourself AND all your projects are more or less in working order. Read more

This kind of stuff is the worst. I was so pissed when I found out you can’t buy Odyssey ball joints that aren’t pre-attached to the A-arm they make you buy as well. Read more

Best ~$50 that this weekend warrior has spent on the quest to make awful repair jobs less awful:

Or...extend it to the next year. Winter was coming and I also ran out of money so I had to wait for the tax return to finish buying the parts. It wasn’t just the control arm. Read more

This is certainly not something I want to do again any time soon. Read more

Great write up. I for one, am still pissed at YouTube for not letting me know I had to loosen a motor mount and jack up the beastly 1.5 liter engine in my 05 xB to replace the passenger control arm. Read more

I still believe the “new” U.S. Ranger will essentially be the current T6... albeit a facelifted one. Read more

This is like... exactly the Wrangler evolution I was hoping for. But also kind of not, because I really don’t want to take out a loan to buy a car. Gah. Wish I were richer. Hah! Read more

I suggest you complete your bike collection before you get married. Because ‘I need to buy a second one to actually ride’ is not something you can explain to a wife!

Yeah, they’re totally in business, those things aren’t a “fad” item, they really work. Check out their website but also look on Ebay—you might find an NOS one for your bike. The only problem if you can’t is that because your bike isn’t a current model, they might not have one in stock—you can special order but it… Read more

As much as I’m a proponent of not letting some rare beast rot in storage when it should be shared with the world (I daily a fairly rare semi-exotic car), that CBR was just too good to risk on the street. I’m glad you found another one to go enjoy while the unicorn is preserved. Read more
