You are more than harsh, and little limited when you don’t read that the article is reprinted from Hagerty overseas. The world doesn’t always revolve around the US much the same way that the best cars aren’t always made here…. ... View more

The 20R was built like a truck. When I bought my Celica GT lift back I needed to make it as quick as it looked. Motor wasn’t really going to be a rev happy thing so I turbocharged it! Lasted forever. Besides fan belts and brakes, only had to replace a pin in the shift linkage that backed out. Was an awesome car and drive train. ... View more

I always painted my engine blocks flat black for heat dispersion (flat will still show liquid leaks too) and my dip stick tubes gloss white for visibility under the hood. Not concurs, but I was always a stretch from stock. ... View more

Wow, some folks get really fired up on this. Let me say I have to agree that I have experienced the bad. Happened both as a younger enthusiast and even when I was older. Some folks have a need to show dominance. Kind of a Darwinism of pack mentality. The strongest has to show their strength, even when wrong. We all know about opinions, but do they really matter? The best thing about age should be about passing on your wisdom, to your own, and to others. Along with that wisdom, pass along some of that passion for autos, bikes, trucks, etc. ... View more

Just don’t leave the grease in the bag thinking your done with it. Polyethylene and polypropylene materials for simple kitchen bags are water proof but only grease/oil resistant in most instances. Long term the lubes can soften, and permeate through the film. ... View more

Studded tires were the greatest before being banned in the 70s in most states. If you had a manual, it was the only way to go. There used to be some timed events in Wisconsin on frozen lakes that had classes for RWD, AWD, plain tires and studded tires. Real difference between domestic tires, euro winter rubber and studded. Was an eye opener before all the electronic traction controls. Hot setup for domestic RWD was automatic trans and using the brakes to control wheel spin. Only time back in the day I can say I enjoyed having an AT and used both feet! Those rear engined cars like Bugs and a Simca were close to the FWD Euros and dominated specially with studs. Have carbide studded grippers for my shoes on those glare ice days. Still the best! ... View more

I’ve had a silicone spark plug boot from an Accel harness kit in my tool box since 75. Use it whenever changing plugs to start them easily and without cross threading on everything from HiPo cars with snaking headers, motorcycles and lawn implements. May not use it on a newer car, but if you’re on Hagerty it’s because you got something older! ... View more

Can’t agree more on the tires. Recently bought my wife a 2002 Tbird with about 21,000 miles on it. Had the original Michelin’s on it dated 2001! I was a killjoy because I only let her drive it once around the block before the Michelin’s showed up. She noticed the difference just from that short drive at 25 mph! ... View more
