The gas door on my truck has become the bane of my existence. After all, at $3.50 a gallon, going to the pump isn’t fun anymore — in fact, it irritates the hell out of me. If I had an ‘07+ Tundra though, I could make the gas-getting experience a little more fun with the […]

Last week we talked about how after five months of trying I finally sold my custom ride, and just before that we talked about shopping for a good tow vehicle. But as of Friday my wife was still jobless, so I changed my mind about dropping $20k on a truck — it just didn’t […]

I happen to be the proud owner of a 1951 Chevy truck, and to say it’s a little bit rusty would be like saying that the Grand Canyon is a little bit deep.  Fortunately, my ‘51 is still salvageable, but if it weren’t, I’d consider this mighty nice custom restoration option. It’s a cab […]

Oh, the JDM front clip — every American tuner seems to want one for their import. For the uninitiated, JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market, which means if you want JDM parts for your American Honda, you’re gonna have to ship ‘em in on a boat. But if you buy your front clip from Password […]

If you’ve got a Chevy small-block V8, ditch the stock valve covers, timing chain cover, and filter, and replace ‘em with this sweet kit.  Proform makes it out of shiny chrome, and they even paint on the Chevrolet bowtie and lettering — a nice touch that’ll look sharp on your resto rod, or on the […]

Gauges make me excited in the pants.
There, I said it. And you can too if you’re a repressed gauge lover like myself. Sure, it’s hard to come out of the closet and admit it to your friends, but once you do, you’ll feel worlds better. Just come right out and say it. “I love gauges.” […]

Sometimes, things get a little hot. You’re there with your special lady, you’re trying to round third, when next thing you know, the radiator in her ‘79-’93 Mustang 5.0 starts overheating, and you’ve got to figure out how to get home with only one hand. Flex-A-Lite knows exactly how you feel, and they just […]

5Zigen is a hardcore tuner company — so hardcore, in fact, that reading their website is kinda like reading Spanglish, except instead of Spanish it’s Japanese, and there’s no “ish” at the end of it. Their website may not make much sense, but 5Zigen does make some cool parts, like this muffler and accompanying exhaust […]

I like turbos. They make funny noises when they spool up and even cooler noises when they blow off — it’s like your car is farting, but so much cooler. Turbodiesel trucks, though, are a different sort of animal. They spool up and blow out lots of black smoke, which is similar to my farts, […]

Know what I know about the metric system? I know that some retard at Chevy decided to switch everything to metric, but then he stopped halfway through. Other than that, I’m no good at conversions, or numbers, or even googling it apparently, because according to my calculations this drop kit hammers the crap out of […]
