The real geekfest is over on bobistheoilguy - but fair warning, don't go too far down that rabbit hole if you are easily influenced by pseudo-science psychobabble. The best information I've seen published recently is by a petrochemical engineer in Hot Rod. Oh I'm a regular over there. :-) But mostl...

Here’s the video/sound recording of my attempt to get car into park. IMG_0247.mov Appreciate your thoughts on what might be causing this noise. Thanks in advance! Now, to clean up the mess under the transmission! Just to make sure the obvious is asked... You brought the axles rotation to a complete...

If you routinely oil your shelves, they will last forever.

I would run that just as it is.

Hey there I've tried a lot of those plastic restore products before I got fed up because they just don't last. Frustrated from failed attempts I painted them with flat black rust paint.

Y'know, the humble Bolt was about $28,000, this isn't much more than that. And the Bolt has been cancelled. I drove a Fiat 500e the other night, just around the block. It was pristine, 20k miles, like new. They're only reported to be good for 85-95 miles, but this guy barely touches the pedal and u...

Heavier vehicles always take more energy to accelerate. (Force equals Mass X Acceleration) (Energy eguals force X time) Higher acceleration will always use more energy, either fuel or electricity. I expect most electric vehicles will use less total energy from the power plant with equal acceleration...

Those cutoff wheels also work well to hack off seized swaybar linkages that break two torx wrenches. Nuts come off easier when cut in half! 👍 I remember chiseling this stuff off in 20 minute sessions with a hammer, hitting your fingers every now and then. Now it’s 30 seconds of Dremel ….fiberglass ...
