Larrymer posted:no inspections or emissions in Michigan either. I was waking down the street in Detroit when a Grand Cherokee drove past with a 12" rust hole in the rear fender, and I could see through the whole car to the building on the other side. One day, the owner is gonna floor it and leave the rear axel behind.

I think it would have been cool to built another outside the box N/A car instead of turbo the old one.

There's a 24 hour race going on at the Czech Brno track, you might be able to watch an English stream here: http://auto.idnes.cz/24hodinovy-zavod-brno-le-mans-dgl-/automoto.aspx?c=A161003_114046_auto_ojetiny_fdv Yesterday I caught the Formula 3 and DTM practice/qualifying at Hockenheimring, in person. DTM is scary fast (and sounds awesome), I didn't expect that but they were like 10 seconds faster per lap than F3. I'll post some photos later.

Hey everybody, I'm back from my trip to Italy. We swung by Modena to check out the Ferrari museum. I'm not a huge Ferrari fan, but the FXX looks pretty drat good; especially, the back - which is a good part of your very fast car to look nice.  <Bill Cosby voice>DUUUUUUUUUUUCTS</Bill Cosby voice> (seriously I could shove my head in there)  I couldn't be bothered to fact-check this, but Ferrari claims they invented the first sequential gearbox for use in F1. It's tiny; I could've just shoved it into my suitcase.  They didn't have a whole lot of motors just hanging out, but they did have this one  Anyway, probably worth the 15 Euro to get in; I have a few other pictures but those are the highlights. Some jerks had rented out the F1 simulator all day so I didn't get to put down any times on it and I managed to escape without buying a 80 Euro Ferrari t-shirt. Also, you can rent a Fiat 595 Abarth for surprisingly cheap from Hertz.

It's a been a good while since I last posted up some work pics, here's two of my most recent encounters: 1987 Buick Grand National. Mostly stock with the exception of a few bolt-ons. Gorgeous car.  Customer calls up saying he has an old Ford with a hard steering problem and nobody else he's talked to wants to risk working on it. "Bring it on down, we'll take a look at it." My boss says. A few hours later, a large pickup pulling a flatbed trailer rolls up with this gem on it:  A 1951 Ford 8N Tractor.  A vehicle so basic that the engine and drive-train are also the main chassis; and the front I-beam axle just swivels back and forth like a see-saw on a pivot shaft mounted in the middle. The only "suspension" is the air in the tires (inner tubes, actually) and a U-shaped metal spring mounted between the rear diff and the padded metal seat beneath your rear end. The 2-liter 4 cylinder makes around 90 lb/ft of torque at 1500 rpm and is backed with a 4-speed manual transmission. The first time I let out the clutch a little too quickly on the incline coming up the rack, I nearly fell right off the back of it had I not been hanging onto that steering wheel for dear life. Also the only throttle control is a dial/lever on the dash next to the steering column. And the only brakes are on the rear wheels and they're manual lever-action drums. Who needs seat belts on a tractor anyway? Anyway, the steering on this one was binding terribly and also way sloppier than it normally should've been. I ended up having to dismantle most of the top half of it to remove the double pitman-arm steering gear assembly. The trashed main-shaft bearings were replaced and the rest of it thoroughly cleaned/lubricated and reassembled back to factory specs. I then set the total toe-in by using the trusty chalk and tape-measure method once it all went back together. It'll be hard to find another tractor this old with steering as tight and fluid as this one has now.

Considering I can walk into my local tractor shop and buy parts for my 1956 Massey Ferguson FE-35 off the shelf in Australia... probably not that hard. Tractors are worked by farmers until they literally split in two in a way that cant be welded back together any more or catch fire and burn to the ground, so theres huge aftermarket part support for them.
