Fuel dragsters are even stranger. The mean run time between engine

trivial in comparison.

I love my car. Do you love your car?

A couple hundred hours? Either you have never worked on an engine, or you are absolutely the slowest mechanic ever born. It was a couple hours a week, and less than two months from the time I bought the car, until I was finished with everything. Fell under 40 hours work, start to finish and that included the modifications. I spent just under $150 for all the parts, in 1972. I loved that car, and the 1963 Catalina convertible that it replaced. Once I finished serving in the Army, I started driving trucks. That will soon be 45 years ago.

Evidently it takes a lot of preparation.

We all have our specialisations. You give me a tool set, an engine and 40
hours to strip it down, by the time the 40 hours expired, I'd just about
maybe get one of the rocker covers off. But I couldn't even guarantee
that much.

You have obviously never seen a 350HP small block V8 pull the
front
wheels of an AMC Gremlin a foot and a half off the ground at the
start line.

You talk about weight. I talk about power. So despite the
double
weight, dufus.... those muscle cars could STILL set you back in
the seat better than your shit V6. You obviously have no clue,
but seem to be full of stupid irrelavent comments like "rusty" and
"old".

AlwaysWrong thinks an AMC Gremlin is a "muscle car". LOL! That's
funny, even for an AlwaysWrong post!


It is when one places a hot Chevy small block V8 in it. And that
was before the V6 was even produced.

Bullshit, AlwwaysWrong. It was a deathtrap with a V8. No weight on
the drive wheels and too much over the nose. You really are *ALWAYS*
wrong.

So yeah, dumbfuck. A hopped up Gremlin could do 9 second
quarters.'

It would even go that far. The things were absolute junk! Terrible
design and worse execution. Vacuum wipers and an Auburn clutch!
Muscle car, indeed!

Also had a corvair with the tranny flipped over and a 350 Corvette
motor hooked up to it in the back seat.

You've flipped a number of trannies, I'd expect.

> You really are one stupid fuck.

You're *ALWAYS* wrong.

Lil' Red Wagon had a 426 Hemi in it.

No, you stupid asshole...

AlwaysWrong.

Everyone knows that a muscle car was a car the NYC mob used to run
down chumps late on their payments.

More irrelevance from _ALWAYS_WRONG_. When you're cornered, change

Even some trucks are too small for me to drive. My

I bought it with a blown engine and rebuilt it. I
installed
a heavy duty three speed automatic transmission in it, and
modified the drive train and chassis to make it fit, in
place of the two speed Powerglide transmission. Gasoline
was
8.9 cents a gallon for high test, on base, and it wouldn't
hold three dollars worth of gasoline.


The latest is a large SUV, because I needed the low

You can stick your electric skateboards where the sun

How does it feel that every vehicle you've ever owned is
pig
dog slow compared to a Tesla? My model X which has plenty
of
room and carries up to 6 passengers will still stomp on
anything you've ever owned. It won't wrap the speedo
needle
though, doesn't have one.

Musk's bitch at work. Amazing, even for a fanboi.

Tesla drivers seem to think in terms of alternating bursts of
acceleration and deceleration. I guess some people enjoy
that,
but I know that a lot of passengers don't. Maybe they seldom
have passengers.

I have two driving modes; mine is pretty dynamic, but I tone
the jerk (1st derivative of acceleration, not a synonym for
me)
way down when my wife is onboard. I know some guys who get
sick
from jerk too.

Funny, when she is driving the Audi she enjoys flooring it,
like getting onto a freeway. It's the 3.2L non-turbo V6 and
really pushes a bod into the seat.

It wasn't a specialization. That was the first car engine that I rebuilt.

It took less than a minute to remove one of them on a Pontiac V8. All you needed was the right sized socket driver, or socket and ratchet. Then it took a couple minutes too remove the remaining pieces of the cork gasket.

I replaced the OEM steel covers for a set of polished aluminum, once I was driving it.

It is when you haven't got a clue what you are talking about, and citing a climate change denier as your supporting evidence makes your ignorance even more obvious.

I work with PhD scientists all the time. There are a couple of real

That doesn't suggest lack of specialision so much as spectacular incompetence.

When I had to regrind the one of valve seats in my Peugeot 404, I'd got the rocker cover off in five minutes. Gettting the rockers off didn't take much longer.

Getting the entire head off to remove a valve to regrind the seat is
a bit more time consuming.

I have pulled an intake manifold, and a pair of heads off inside ten
