    well, it looks like mercury is going the way of pontiac

    i gave up on lincoln when hey dropped the LS from the line up (my mom owns a '04 V8) and i haven't seen a mercury i would want, even as a free gift, since the mid 90's.

    $150k in Receipts and Selling for $60K

    i have a coworker that contracted a shop to have a "show truck" built out of a 50's chevy. what he got was a $8K truck (straight sheetmetal, clean paint, and stock suspension-brakes) with a hotrod engine* that wouldn't outrun my wife's SUV and what he payed was north of $40K. then he had to do...

    Bad Panel Gaps and Wavy Fiberglass Hood: Repaint Silver Blue or Caspian Blu

    both colors are nice (and better than red), but the silver blue will hide more defects and dirt. for two clean cars in low light i would still pick the silver blue.

    Horse Power gain from Stock Headers to Shorty Headers

    i'm dealing with the same basic issue.... my engine is terminally weak and i have rusted, long tube headers dragging the ground (shelby drop) and the smallest diameter pipes going back i have ever seen on a V8. i want more ground clearance, more aggressive aesthetic diameter, and a better sound...

    exactly. my daily beater is a 400hp 2005 GTO and only maybe 12K were imported that year (40K in 3 years total) so it's easily as rare as a cobra and i drive it like i stole it* and use it as a grocery getter and pick-up truck. enjoy your cars so your kids will only inherit a rusted, dented...

    How do you have fun with pontiac??

    my daily beater is a pontiac and i usually have fun with it by showing 99.9% of the mustangs on the road my taillights. the exception being mostly the terminator crowd. as far as the the mid 80's pontiac abomination in your photo, the competition for that same vintage was a ford tempo and they...

    Sparkplugs and head ID

    Twin Turbo 289!?!

    all forged rotating assembly (crank, rods, and piston), girdle the main caps, and a rather robust, high capacity-voulme oiling system would be a nice start. i'm a dumdass when it comes to fords and boost, but i would assume a HO EFI system with a single turbo would be nice and easy?
