    Truck market, New vs. Used

    I've run my current truck a few years past its prime. 2011 Silverado 1500 with 6.2L and Max Towing Package. It's the smallest truck that will do what I need, and did everything very well andhas been remarkably reliable. It now has 195k miles, and after 12 Minnesota winters, the boxed frame has...

    Mini-Bike project

    A couple years ago I bought a mini-bike to use as a pit bike when I go racing, and for the kids to play with in the back yard... it was cheap, newer "Baja Racer" frame from the 80s or 90s with a 5hp Honda off a pressure-washer. A group of friends that I go to Road America vintage weekend...

    69 4spd wagon

    This is cool! LM1 255hp 350/M20/12-bolt equipped 69 Chevelle 9-passenger wagon, Maroon with Saddle interior. I'd bet it's 1 of 1! It's pretty rough though.

    Jenna's "new" summer car.

    She's been looking for a while for a "Sunset Orange Metallic" WS6 TransAm. We wanted a 6spd car, but couldn't find one at the right price and condition for us, so she settled for an automatic... I have almost everything needed to T56 swap it though, when the 4L60 inevitably turns into a...

    "Corvette" branded SUVs and 4-doors?

    https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42096801/corvette-brand-2025/ This may be the dumbest thing to come out of GM in decades. Ford lead the charge into this stupidity with the "Mustang" Mach-E, and GM just can't let themselves be outdone on bad ideas...

    Modern cars vs. what you drove in high school

    I had an interesting conversation with my Dad and brothers over pizza and beer yesterday... We all realized, what we drive today is older and higher mileage than the "beaters" we had in high school. When I was in HS, everything I drove was about 7-10 years old and had 110-130k miles on it...

    Where to buy a computer?

    Looks like a few in here are in the biz... I want a home desktop to run AutoCAD and a few other business type programs on so I can make some side-money doing some freelance drafting. The IT guy at my work tells me I should get an i7 processor, 24 to 32gb of RAM, an SSD hard drive, and Windows...

    My '55 Chevy Delray

    Since you guys all seemed to like the post about my son's '55, I'll share the history here of my '55 also. In 1975, my Dad wanted to build a '55 2dr sedan like the one in "American Graffiti". One of his buddies was also looking for a tri-5 to build, so a group of 4 guys took a roadtrip in...

    Cale's 55 Chevy

    A few years ago, I helped my oldest son Cale buy a '55 Chevy 210 two-door sedan project car. It was originally Neptune Green with turquoise interior. 6cyl 3spd. Basket-case car, but I have a lot of extra parts from my '55. He was 10 at the time.

    Just signed papers for Solar

    With rising energy prices, I decided the sooner I do it the better, and I think I got a pretty awesome deal through my cousin's company MinnSolar. 60 panels, 31,000 kWh estimated annual output. $57,000 system, but installed as a lease rather than a purchase so my cousin is getting all the...
