When I went from my 93 Z/28 to my 02 Civic I had my first experience with the cabin air filter. I do remember working at the auto parts store at the time and we'd just started to begin stocking them so that was about the time of widespread adoption.
I took it out and left it out. If I had a...
My last job was at an auto parts store and even though my knowledge put all the youngsters to shame I was often relegated to making deliveries which I kind of liked because it got me away from the typical "what kind of car wash is best for me" type of non-hard parts customers and I could drive...
Pros and Cons of each:
Termi:
Pros
Arguably the best Mustang ever made
Race-prepped beast engine with third-party internals
Smaller, throw-around body style
Less technology to deal with
Cons
Archaic buckboard although could be livable with an s197 seat swap
Needs immediate attention if you...
As of 2027 all cars will be equipped with facial scan technology under the pretext of preventing DUI but of course it's much deeper than that; Orwell's 1984 is a reality albeit decades late.
So take a look at your car and get a rough idea of what you'll need up until you decide to trade in...
I took some classes in my early-mid 20's while working at the auto parts store and then the Chevy dealer as a lube tech. Tbh it was the highlight of my week as I was a studious student in high school but couldn't get financial aid, and learning was a welcome change from the drudgery of work...
Might as well just get one or a DH if work goes well enough; why fight progress which is my wont? In high school I tightrolled my jeans long after e1 else stopped, my father beat me to owning a puter and I didn't get my first smartphone until 2017.

I was working at the local Chevy dealer when the last of em came through with much memorabilia and much dealer markup. Car and driver said the Mustang outsold the f bodies 3 to 1 despise the 4.6 2v dog and the weak 5spd. That fbody was a force bro. Ls1+t56 with factory hurst for like 25k...
Things were different back then; girls were poached for marriage around sixteen at least according to the songs.
The ladies in the vid were doin it too and up until lately that was not a heinous atrocity but an "atta boy" for the lucky youths

"Hey babe did you see all those...
Some big brain must have gone around and bought em all up and put em in a bunker deep underground.
There are four on classiccars atm that aren't twisted into a pretzel or cheesily modded and they're 70-75k
Few years they'll be up there with the original 426 Hemi's and the GT500KR's
Oh well...
I won't be there so if you plan on beating me with a sack or oranges or rolling me up in a carpet and tossing me over a bridge due to my annoying posts...yup.
Just passing it on; not driving an hour each way for it.

Born in '76 so don't know anything about carburetion. These seem to be the pros and cons of the '70:
Pros:
A real Mustang unlike anything 71-up (a fat pig, a Pinto, a Fairmont, pretty close retro, and two Camaros)
How much could possibly go wrong outside of a tune-up and a carb rebuild or...
So last Sunday I was driving home after my usual trip to the outdoor mall for a Cinnabon and an eyeful, and I saw an absolute mint s197 Bullitt. Real cherry. Of course WPB Sunday afternoon traffic was being its usual self but after some maneuvering I finally got up to him, dropped down to...
I think there is exactly one PP six-speed in the state that isn't in transit or equipped with unbearably ugly wheels, and it's a convertible. I rented a 911 vert for a couple of days and it had its moments. Fill in any blanks I might have missed:
Pros:
Some women seem to enjoy being driven...
Wagging my finger at the Coyote crowd; another one of yall...18 year old minor league baseball player over in Bradenton (which ironically has a 1/4 mile track for legal speeding) with a tripod on his 5.0 weaving in and out of traffic. Triggered a multi-car accident which resulted in the loss...
If someone were going to drop a relatively run-of-the-mill V8 mustang in your lap that were not an s650 what would you like
I like that 03-04 Mach 1; I test drove a green '99 GT 5-spd when I was 23 but didn't have the nuggets to pull the trigger on payments.
In 19 years of ownership I've never once let anyone else change it. During the ownership of my previous car my job said we'd have to pay to do our own services so it was cheaper just to have Honda do it and of course they overfilled it and shrugged it off as not a big deal. I don't care if I...
I test-rowed a 5.0 and while not awful to the point of swapping it out before the drive home, it could definitely be improved upon. Even though the shifter in the DH appears to be a much improved and shorter profile design, I did notice MGW triumphantly announce a unit to fit the TR-3160.
So...
Hey maybe if things go a certain way and I decide on an s650 but can't find a GT PP that I like, I'll get a DH but the first thing I said when I first saw one in person was "whoa that splitter is coming off the car on the way home from the dealer." My neighbor has an s550 with an aftermarket...
So currently in the state of FL all of the bright-colored six-speed 5.0 cars have been sold and it's down to rental car colors (white, black {I guess these can look badass} and varying shades of silver/gunmetal/grey/titanium/etc), with the exception of this thing which has been sitting for at...
