My 2001 S10 does not buck when idling along in first gear, but the 1992 Mustang easily will buck. Mustang has 3.08 gear. S10 has 3.73 gear. I wonder if that makes a difference. But I used to have a 1995 F150 that would sometimes buck. Think that was geared somewhere around 3.30 or so.

Of automatic transmissions wanting to go when the car is in a stopped position. You'd have thought they would have solved it by not. We do have a pseudo-solution in the cars that shut the engine off at a stop, but that is a rather awkward solution that was not meant to treat the specific problem of ...

Isn't that sort of like taking your transmission and welding the l...

I float out clutch in with most of my shifts on my Jeep. Just seems to be a habit I've unconsciously gotten into from driving a big truck more than my personal vehicle. It does seem to be pretty smooth most of the time though. Is that what it is called. I thought I was just being lazy, but coming i...

There is also a safety factor when the credit card is validated electronically. (Anybody remember having their card checked against the printed list of "Bad" cards?) One station I worked at required I check every card. I don't think all bad cards were on the list because it was hard copy back in th...

In Michigan anyway, there seem to be no pump jockeys. I feel honored to be one of the last pump jockeys as I served in the 1970s and I think they disappeared soon after. I even got to man the "island" during the oil embargo when we had a $5 limit on gas and cars were lined out the drive and down the...

Does it have any sort of a splat pattern?

Nope, a nice clean O, Kind of like this:

Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of a large orange letter O in the back window of a car. I have seen this three times in the past week and it is usually about a 10-inch-high O and smack in the middle of the back window. Why would anybody put that on their window?

RE The destroyed Hellcat engine, there really doesn't seem much need to boost power when the car comes with a stock output of 797 horsepower!

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye at Woodward Dream Cruise Look what this guy did, not only a $70,000 car but a lot of speed shop work to boost power considerably: ...the tires spun effortlessly through first gear, bouncing off of the rev limiter before he was able to shift into second. As he...

was the show on or near Mustang Alley / 9-Mile Road in Ferndale? I saw many Ford Broncos (Bronchi?) at the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise this year. I thimpk Ford was encouraging their participation as part of drumming up interest in the next generation Bronco. Show was at Ford World Headquarters in ...

Link for specs on Ford MuscleStang Shelby GT500 Lots of details resplained. https://s3-prod.autoweek.com/2019-08/2020-Shelby-GT500-Esourcebook_0.pdf I looked through the linked brochure and can't find the option for manual transmission. I figured the Mustang died when they put the modular engine in...

Probably the worst car I've ever owned in terms of top gear acceleration were my old Foxbody Mustangs. 5th gear was so severely overdrive that the car couldn't accelerate without downshifting first at highway speeds. Flooring the gas pedal did just about nothing unless you were over 80 MPH, and eve...
