He was also the person who told me to check fuel mileage every tank as if it dropped for no clear reason you should get a tune up. That was back when cars had points and stuff that wore out. He was right about that also. His reasons for expecting lower mileage was towing stuff or driving like a jackass.
I learned alot from that old dude.

I can give you the basic number 6C324 but that;s the best I can do you. It's called a connector in Ford nomenclature. You can call Ford and give the info and tell him you are looking for that Basic Number part.

That car is wicked fast, and I agree... He was sand-bagging big time. As for the "Who do you think'll win?" I think that was just a feeble attempt at theatrics. No one with any automotive knowledge could believe that 1400 HP and AWD wouldn't walk all over 800 HP and RWD.

This is one of my favorite KB videos, but that's partially because I've been up this road myself *and* have witnesses racers running on it, too.

I just spent thirty minutes changing the air filter. That housing would *not* go together all the way around so the clamp would slip on all the way!

LOL... I used to think that was the shiddiest designed air box on the planet, then I got a Yaris. I actually shot a video today doing maintenance on it, and the damn clip came off again during the video. I've already replaced the whole thing once because Jiffy Lube broke it when my sister owned it.

Have I mentioned that there's one guy on here that drives a feller nuts?

It's clean for those miles, where did you find that truck ?

The filter box can be a PITA from what I recall. It was nice having that 100,000 mile Amsoil filter in there , while it lasted.

The Mclaren isn't any competition, doesn't have the pony's.

That big brake lever he has in there is positioned perfectly isn't it.... must be a blast cornering in that car.
