There’s the cover for the issue I was looking through, in case you feel like grabbing your copy and following along. Here’s the first ad that confused me: Okay, Reliance spark plugs SPARK IN WATER. Got it. I know the ad boldly claims THIS IS A FAIR TEST, but a fair test of what? If you have water in your spark plug holes or the cylinders, you have way bigger problems than a misfire....
I mean, look at her! She’s staring it right in the windshield, arms crossed, and a look of what I can only describe as genuine contempt and revulsion on her face. She looks absolutely pissed. I don’t know what that little Lancia did, but I sure as hell don’t want to get in the middle of it. No way. Was this once a way to sell cars? By showing models pissed off at them?...
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Falcon has smashed it out of the park. Not only does it look much cleaner than the Commodore, it’s in desirable S trim and packs a modern five-speed manual gearbox. Anyway, welcome to Los Angeles, a place where everyone is someone and old cars seem to just keep living. Lack of road salt and moisture means that old cars out here are often structurally sound, making them great choices for fly-and-drive adventures....

First, a bit of exposition: Back in the 1960s, GM-aligned horsepower junkies had a little bit of a problem – a GM corporate mandate forbade really big-cube engines from being installed as regular production options in cars that weren’t so large that you could park a jet between their grilles and windscreens. However, a few enterprising dealerships found a way around this internal barrier. By submitting special orders using the Central Office Purchase Order program more typically used for commercial fleet vehicles, dealers like Don Yenko were able to order low-spec Camaros with potent 427-cube big-block V8s....
It removes the need for banks and other institutions, as well as exchange rates and all the other barriers to effective trading on a global scale.

FYLINA describes the fabric as breathable and sweat-resistant, and the fact that it’s machine washable means that you can start every journey with a clean and fresh pillow....
But first, let’s go back in time to yesterday and see which Buick wagon you wanted: And so it is. Shamu the Killer Whale wins. I think this is the right call; I like the looks of the old wagon better, but the newer Roadmaster feels like the “sweet spot” of automotive technology to me, and it sounds like a lot of you agree. So let’s go from that sweet spot straight into the modern age, and look at a couple of cars that might as well be X-Wing fighters to some of us, looking under their hoods....
If you’ve been on the internet for a while, chances are you’ve seen the Boaterhome before. It’s been featured on a Little Caesars Pizza commercial, Ridiculous Rides, and Street Muscle Magazine. You’ve probably seen it on Facebook, Reddit, or anywhere else car pictures end up. I remember first seeing it on Opposite-Lock years ago. Thankfully, the creation is still around, and apparently it’s better than ever after a restoration and overhaul....
So what is this thing? And who makes it? Okay, slow down! And let go of my arm! Thank you. Okay, so, it’s made by a German company calledNext.e.GO Mobile SE, and the sorta stupidly-named e.Wave X is a little electric city car hatchback that can seat four, has a 107 horsepower motor, has a range of about 155 miles in city driving or 101 miles city/highway combined in the WLTP cycle, a 30....
The diminutive Mini Moke has been around since the late 1950s. Back then, Sir Alec Issigonis had been working on the idea of a vehicle built from Mini parts and topped with a utility body. The idea was a vehicle that British Motor Corporation could use to compete with Land Rover’s military vehicles. A prototype was presented in 1959, but its low ground clearance and 848cc engine resulted in it failing to pass inspection with the military....
Let’s start with power. The M2 cranks out 453 horsepower in U.S.-spec from BMW’s S58 twin-turbocharged three-liter inline-six. That’s more than the old special edition M2 CS. Peak power hits at 6,250 rpm while redline doesn’t happen until 7,200 rpm, properly good numbers. Even better, a six-speed manual gearbox is on the options list in true M-car tradition, with defeatable automated rev-matching. In theory, it should be the same six-speed manual gearbox as on the M3, which means it should be quite good....
To make a 911 Carrera T, Porsche follows a fairly simple formula. The boffins in Stuttgart take one base-model 911, add performance bits, remove weight, and sell it for less than a Carrera S. Indeed, the new one starts at $118,050 including a $1,450 freight charge and offers quite a lot of kit for the dollar. Let’s start with the big news, a standard seven-speed manual gearbox. You can’t get a standard 992 Carrera with the manual, so a cheaper row-your-own model than the Carrera S is greatly appreciated....
Thumb through the pages of Volkswagen van history and you’ll find that camping and the marque’s vans have been tied together since almost from the beginning. In 1951, Westfalia created its first camper van, the “Camping Box.” While campervan builds certainly date back decades prior, Westfalia is sometimes credited with helping to popularize the idea of making the idea of sleeping in a van turned into a camper. From there, you can find camping versions of VW vans past and present....
However, you’ve got to be sure to prepare your camping nights in advance. There’s nothing more terrifying than finding yourself in the middle of nowhere, without a survival kit. Here’s a quick camping supplies list to help you plan a similar adventure with your family and friends. Sleeping Bag Yes, it’s a no-brainer, but we pride ourselves on being thorough. Make sure you have enough sleeping bags for yourselves. If necessary, also carry some inflatable air pillows for a more comfortable night....
By the way, as I was finding those links up there, I also happened to find out that these exist: Why are we like this? Also, Couldn’t one interpret these as acts of love, or at least lust instead of aggression? Anyway, let’s get back to the wholesome world of taillights. The specific taillights I want to focus on are the ones used on third-generation Chevy C/K trucks from 1973 to 1987, and sixth-generation Ford F-series trucks from 1973 to 1979....
1. Use of the Cloud One of the biggest trends in any software development is the use of the cloud. This is especially true in human resource management systems where almost all of the best tools are now cloud-based. Having a cloud-based human resource management system comes with a lot of benefits. It allows wider accessibility to technology and data, improving how the HR department operates. 2. Self-service Tools for Employees Human resource management systems are also more inclusive, giving access to employees....
After all, they had spent the whole year teaching us. Not only was it a nice thought, but it showed them that you enjoyed being taught by them, and you appreciated their hard work. In this scenario, a simple gift basket or chocolates usually goes down a treat. Fast forward to today, and it is our boss we are looking to get a gift for. While it is clearly different to school, the sentiment is still the same: you want to show your appreciation for their support, either in general or for something specific....
Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Supra Engaging Ever since the outgoing M240i exited production, American BMW enthusiasts who enjoy a left leg workout have had to pop for an M car. That seems a bit egregious considering the joy of BMW’s deft chassis tuning still carries through to the smaller engines....
Traffic Accident’s Serious Injuries Often Require Legal Help When someone has suffered serious injuries as a result of another driver’s negligence, they may need help from an accident attorney. A simple consultation appointment can reveal information on the injured party’s rights and the laws that govern personal injuries in their state. Before signing any settlement agreement, it is wise to have an attorney review the offer. Once the settlement agreement has been signed, the injured party can no longer pursue the matter....
