I saw an i8 parked in the back lot of a BMW dealership today.

Don't you just hate it when a simple crankshaft position sensor replacement turns into this? : http://i.imgur.com/kky7l3p.jpg The sensor is located on the lower front side of the engine, and sort of accessible from underneath.

I saw a white second gen Lamborghini Gallardo on the road today. There's a gray Murcielago that I sometimes see parked in a garage in my neighborhood, it was in there today when I drove past. Same garage also contains an old Mercedes roadster, the model of which I have yet to determine. I've also se...

Luckyyyy.

We only had one group of four trick-or-treaters on foot at about 6:30, followed by a group dropped off in a car an hour later.

I hate when it starts getting dark at 5:30, rrrraaaaghghhghggh!

Also, torque specs dont really matter that much unless its something that rotates in an important manner, such as differentials or timing components. In this case it was the intake and exhaust manifolds on a 4.0 I6, which share 9 bolts and 2 studs....

I certainly didn't envy them, especially once it got dark. The...

There was plenty of cool stuff as usual, but I didn't take many pictures. http://i.imgur.com/hi90gvh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9JOLj6N.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4PwTnLz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tFomJXI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SZOoDhy.jpg...

Dang, 270 ft-lb, I bet that's a blast. Pretty sharp looking, too.

The humidity is too damn high!

I saw a Prowler (the car, not a sneaky guy up to no good) on Friday. It was at night, but I could see that it was some metallic burnt orange color. Probably this color: http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/attachment.php?attachmentid=111833&d=1365698555 I always thought those were pretty coo...
