    Another crazy car question...

    So I opened the oil fill cap on my Acura the other day after I started it, to add some oil, and it was pressurized... That surprised me. It's a 3.2L VTec. Maybe Japanese cars don't have "PCV"? Probably normal, I just didn't expect that. Great car, it just drips a lot of oil. I had to take...

    Put 'er up for the Winter

    Maybe I just needed to wait for it (to come out pink). Didn't have anyone back there to look at it this time.

    Yep, it's that time! :-(

    Heat exchanger... like a closed cooling system?

    Texas Raiders B-17, P-63

    Didn't look like either one of them had any idea what was about to happen. Echo the, thankfully no one on the ground hurt. Per one video I saw, they were off the airport just seconds before that, over businesses and stuff where people were watching.

    The ride with Bob Riggle in the Hemi Under Glass a few years ago was something else...

    Texas Raiders B-17, P-63

    Did y'all see that horrific crash? Awful. Only B-17 I've ever been in. Tossed the idea of going to that airshow a month or two back, but didn't.

    Put 'er up for the Winter

    Tell me about that! High in the 40s here today and winds gusting into the 30s. I just crawled under the tarp for most of it, lol. I did have to pull it back while it was running because it was catching too much exhaust. I told my wife to remind me to do it when it's warmer next time. She...

    Oil Change and Gear Oil Change issue . Can you help ?

    One thing to watch for - Wal Mart sells 2 versions of 30 weight oil right next to each other (and a little apart from all the rest of it). One is the vehicle stuff, and the other says "lubricating oil" or something like that. Very similar bottles.

    Put 'er up for the Winter

    I was holding out for one more day, like earlier this week but it didn't work out (wasn't much chance really). Didn't have a choice but to go ahead and winterize today since it's going to be pretty cold tonight. I put fuel stabilizer in this time, ran it for 15min, and fogged through the carb...

    Need another Motorcycle...

    Kawasaki Concours 1000? Kinda looking at one of those. Didn't really like the head-on look of it, but did a little research today, and overall it's growing on me. They seem to have a following too, of people that like them. It'd probably be just a tad heavier and slower than what I had...

    Need another Motorcycle...

    Was talking to a guy with a REALLY nice looking '86 FJ1200 Yamaha for sale, but somebody bought it. Last bike was a GSX1100G (fast and heavy). Test rode a 1984 Honda Interceptor 1000 - red, white, and blue one time back in '05; that might be my dream bike, just from the styling perspective...

    Need another Motorcycle...

    Ok, want. I was all good and hadn't ridden in the 4 1/2 years since I sold my last one to get my boat, with essentially zero desire to ride again anytime soon. Then one of my sons bought a GSX-R600 and I took an impromptu ride on it. That got me quickly rethinking that whole issue. I know I...

    LS Swap...?

    Ended up selling it Saturday morning for exactly what I'd asked. I basically had the deal made with the first guy who responded within 48 hours of posting it, and got quite a bit of interest overall. There were a couple of guys waiting in line to look at it. Father and so who bought it wanted...

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    Thanks for the replies. I've sort of given up on it for now (putting other fires out). I replaced the steering linkage a few years ago - everything except the pitman arm, then had it aligned at a local big name tire shop (chain). Front tires were essentially new then (Primewell - low end)...

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    All the torque this thing puts out mighta twisted mine too... Of course I joke. It's anemic. I knocked off the weights from the rear tires, but it made no difference. I started going through the troubleshooting section of an older full size Chevy manual, and I think reinstalling the...

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    Cool. No, I poured what looked like about 1/4 out of each package and set it aside. They were a real pain to get in through the valve stem too. Won't even try that again. Air kept blowing 'em back out... Nah, kidding.

    Don't think so.

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    Supposed to take 3oz per the Napa counter guy; all they had was 4oz, so I bought those and guesstimated.

    Don't know; not since I've had it.
