I'm about to fill the rear reservoir on my tractor for at least the second time. Being out in the open it's easy enough to see what the level is, and it seems to lose its contents about every five years. Nope, have never used the washer. And I think it was the '18 Challenger that told me the...

Far from all Cooper tires are made in the USA. And I have no idea why they would have anything to do with Nexen tires.

The worst I can remember were the Nexens that came on my '17 Ram. They were quiet and rode well, but the best part was that they started coming apart with about 20,000 miles on them, which was a perfect excuse to switch to Toyos. And it wasn't just my tires, many others had the same experience...

Can't be much worse than the Firehawk Indy 500s are in snow. Actually, I know they're not.

Doesn't mean that those of us that are unelectrified won't be next.

You're shitting me, right? Whoda thunk there would be heat and humidity (or alligators) in Florida.

I never understood why they build the tracks on mountaintops in Florida.

So now we only need two more wise men?

Except in my case the river is much closer than any creeks.

Part of the story of getting the RePete from SoCal that I may not have mentioned; Had left here early Wednesday and on Sunday evening I stopped in Flagstaff, AZ, on the way home. After having parked for the night and made the bed in the sleeper I thought "Hmm, they usually have food at truck...

Would you believe that I drove 450 miles to a place that does? Of course, they also have stoplights and other crap there - and not just the Charger.

I finally saw one...on a dealer lot. They can't seem to get rid of it. Now I just hope my car didn't get infected by being parked next to it.

Except for the first few gear sets I've bought, they've all come with instructions for the break-in. And they differ a little between manufacturers, so I've taken the most cautious approach by using the most miles, lowest speeds, most heat cycles, etc., basically creating my own formula for...

So? Have you ever read the gear break-in procedures recommended by gear manufacturers and larger resellers? As it happens, today I took the first 20-mile drive (at lower speeds) to get the first of several work hardening cycles done in my new Durango. That'll be followed by four or five more...

Does anybody have properly broken in gear set that ended up making noise?

I'd think that getting the nose down would be far more important, so the rear end could stay as is.

It'd be so much easier to lower the car 0.5 or 0.75", and then inflate the tires a tad more. At least I think lower drag and less rolling resistance would help more than an extra 3.74 hp.

Hey 2nd, I have an idea. Not necessarily a good one, but it's the thought that counts, right? Instead of chasing horsepower (isn't the Redeye only 4 mph faster than a 707?) how about tinkering with aero mods instead? If you're allowed to use wheel covers, for example, that could be a cheap...

Reese and Draw-Tite make (made?) some useful stuff.

Or maybe the hood lifts partially because of all the air being forced into the engine compartment through the lower intake?
