There is no equivalent Tacoma.

It's all ball bearings these days.

Thanks for digging this up, Sajeev! I'd never heard of this before.

That bathtub intake is definitely a cross-ram.

Brandan · ‎20-05-2021

If it were cab-forward it wouldn't be an F-series and if it were a two-door it wouldn't be worth building because the market isn't there.

A 455 in a G-body sounds like a good time!

Brandan · ‎12-05-2021

All of these are pre-war cars that represent post-war hot rods.

Brandan · ‎12-05-2021

That's the way the Duramax V-8 diesel operates, with a single rocker operating twin valves.

Brandan · ‎05-05-2021

We debated that, but we liked liked the idea of a group of Pontiacs assembled to invade.

Brandan · ‎29-04-2021

Good catch Jim, the solid-lifter typo was just a force of habit. As for the start carts, the Buick V-8s were replaced with 454s in the '70s. http://www.wvi.com/~sr71webmaster/ag330_sr

It's in the video, the recipient of the 396 rebuild.

If the Dakota ever comes back, you can bet it will be under the Ram brand.

Brandan · ‎10-04-2021

GMC's Envoy XUV had a rear sliding roof too.

Brandan · ‎10-04-2021

The entire 2nd generation Avalanche was made without cladding.

Brandan · ‎10-04-2021

The Avalanche outsold the Ridgeline in every year they were both available but 2013 when the Ridgeline squeaked by.

Brandan · ‎01-04-2021

What exactly did you think you were gonna get when you saw the headline?

Brandan · ‎27-02-2021

There's a lot more in the bag and the tote.

Brandan · ‎27-02-2021

I have one of those but the app is no longer supported by my current phone.

Brandan · ‎27-02-2021

That is homemade. My brother gave me that idea 20 years ago or so. I think it's just plain old stainless rod.

Brandan · ‎26-02-2021

Great story Brad! It's so cool that you were able to actually ask Snake about it.

Brandan · ‎25-02-2021

Gee, thanks. I guess.

Brandan · ‎25-02-2021

I dunno, I kind of think it's more like Hagerty's version of "Who wore it better?"

Brandan · ‎25-02-2021

The engine is in the rear, but the radiators are in the front.

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

You compare by pointing out a similar design feature.

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

The mass-produced transportation device is just a jumping-off point.

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

We're not talking about headlights, we're talking about heat extractors.

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

You don't see any resemblance in the heat extractors?

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

This wasn't a history of 4th-gen Firebirds or about when the 4th-gen first got the ram air hood, it was about where you could expect to see those heat extractors and you wouldn't find them on a Firehawk.

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

So, in other words, the heat extractors we're talking about, were "found on the hood of the V-6-powered base Firebird as well as the V-8-powered Formula and Trans Am, before the latter eventually got a more aggressive Ram Air hood that became available in 1995." I never said the heat extractors were on the Firehawk.

Brandan · ‎24-02-2021

It's almost as if the whole article is about the hood scoops being similar.

Brandan · ‎01-02-2021

It's cool that they were able to squeeze a bit more power out of the LT4.

Brandan · ‎29-01-2021

Edelbrock isn't leaving California, they still have two foundries about 100 miles inland from their Torrance facility.

Brandan · ‎19-01-2021

Correct, I meant to specify Super Duty uses them in front.

If you're building your personal project car to make strangers happy, you might be doing it wrong.

NISMO just announced that it will begin offering customers a comprehensive restoration service for R32 Skyline owners that want a factory-fresh version of their favorite GT car. The legendary R32 GT-R is among the hottest JDM collector cars in the United States and in the last few years they’ve been making their way, legally, onto U.S. shores.

That thing means business!

Brandan · ‎02-12-2020

I don't think I've ever seen a Chevy crossed flag with a cross instead of a Bow Tie.

Brandan · ‎29-11-2020

Yeah, both in the lowboy section are lowboys.

Brandan · ‎28-11-2020

Not all lakesters are made from belly tanks.

Brandan · ‎28-11-2020

We don't show any photo for "decked".

Brandan · ‎28-11-2020

I divide them up based on bore spacing.

Brandan · ‎27-11-2020

I considered that one as well as the Warlock!

Brandan · ‎27-11-2020

Look again, we didn't say it only came in black.

Brandan · ‎27-11-2020

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Brandan · ‎27-11-2020

That is a good one!

Brandan · ‎24-11-2020

Much wider tires is the point!

Brandan · ‎24-11-2020

A grand total of one sentence in the entire article was about who the car belongs to.

Brandan · ‎20-11-2020

It seems like it would be an appropriate size, like a modern SCOT blower.

Brandan · ‎19-11-2020

I see the similarities, but 206 and 246 both had exposed headlights.

Brandan · ‎19-11-2020

Well GrumpyOne, there wasn't a Studebaker Avanti in the Petersen's supercar exhibit.
