Name That Part: Queen of England Edition

comments
After a string of Name That Part episodes were solved quite easily — and I really must give you guys credit, your ability to identify random car bits almost borders on creepy, and I mean that in a good way — I decided to try a bit more randomness yesterday. I picked a part from…

Mystery Car: Get Back To Work Edition

comments
Reader dwegmull was skipping out from his responsibilities at work returning from lunch, and he stumbled across a car that caught his eye. We suspect that might have been because he was searching for any opportunity to procrastinate on his return to work, but nonetheless it is rare enough to be interesting. Mostly, it’s interesting…

Redneck Fabulous: Wedding Edition

comments
People not from Canada often typify Canadians as being one big homogenous group. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the more entertaining things for me, having just moved from British Columbia to Alberta, is seeing the totally different kind of people that reside in this province as opposed to my old homeland.…

There’s a reason Italian food is so popular; be it pizza joints, pasta houses, ready-made dishes or jars of sauces, it’s an easy dish to make in some form or other, and pretty much no matter what you do to it, it’s gonna taste pretty good. However it came about, it’s the sort of food…

I know this is Internet 101 right here for any auto geek, but it is time to honor a man with a passion that exemplified what it means to be a member of the Hoonisphere. If you think that looks like a normal Dodge Minivan – hop the jump to get served… (that’s right, I…

Priceless Lincoln Ranchero

comments
What’s better than 216.1 inches of 5 passenger personal coupe? Why 216.1 inches of luxury pickup truck, of course. While no price is fronted in the ad for this uniquely modified Lincoln, its innate practicality as a mobile landing field for light aircraft is of immeasurable value. With only 54K on the clock, this bench-seated…

Going Postal

Are you worried about your current vehicle’s ability to get you from point A to point B? Then you should really consider plunking down the lowly eight Benjamins for this former Postal Jeep. That’s because “neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their…

That's What They Call That? Scrambled Eggs

Crosswalks are more than just places to line up for an impromptu stop light drag race, they also serve an important function in pedestrian safety, and provide instruction for the slower Boy Scouts in gaining their granny-helping-across-the-street badge. Usually, at a 4-way stop, the cross walks are a simple set of white lines with a…

Name That Part: Ultimate Obsession Edition

comments
Yesterday, Name That Part was solved in minutes. Clearly, we’ve been too easy on you. Now, granted, p161911 (who I’m firmly convinced is either Borg or a Droid, with such a lovely alphanumeric name) did solve it by finding the site I used, which I personally think is blatantly cheating. In that situation, clearly, the…

Turbo Barge: Manual Transmission-ed '84 BMW 745i
/
/
comments
745i, that’s a 4.5L V8, right? Wrong! The 745i was arguably BMW’s most egregious departure from the [Series][Engine Size] nomenclature (at least until the current “Xdrive35i” or whatever they’re doing). You see, BMW decided that the turbocharged 3.2L I-6 had comparable power output to a 4.5L naturally aspirated engine (and that most owners would never…
