Just spent about two hours loading stuff that I need for this weekend's project. In the front passenger footwell: one 3-gallon bag of clean water, squirrel feeds, pepper powder, gopher baskets. On the seat: misting fan and misc in a tote. In the boot: six 2.6 gallon bags of rain water, one tote...

After 500+ miles, the mpg is now around 35. I checked the tire pressure today and all 4 were around 34. I suppose the shop's tire inflator (running from an air compressor) would read differently from my cordless handheld unit. However, the door jamb sticker says 36/33. I thought it makes sense...

I still have the spare from my 93 NA, with a faux leather donut jacket. The spare in the 79 SA is a proper full-size, I remember that was the first time I ordered a set of five tires.

So we are all on the same page here: Nutball drivers should absolutely keep their tires in top shape for the safety of all. 😳

What kind of cornering are we talking about? Street or track? 😅

This whole piece fit through one of the two lower openings.

If I fold down the rear seats, the front passenger seat can't recline this much, and the wood would hit the ceiling. This was the only way that worked for me.

First time using the soft rack to bring a set of old ladders on a 150-mile trip. The front of the ladder was tethered to one of the side mirrors, I recall vaguely. What a treacherous drive! I could see the front of the ladder moving up and down. I stopped mid-trip to tighten everything. For the...

@Z31 I asked the lab analyst who sent my last report about Ryan's article and was told that the problem hasn't been resolved. The Mazda3 is under warranty and there isn't enough leak for the dealership to pinpoint the fault. He's monitoring the level.

Most new EVs on the market are priced over $30K. An EV built from scratch for less than $30K is not going to have the same features. Luckily for me, my standards are low. If the Slate truck can drive straight and charge right, I will take it. If any interior components fall off, I have all kinds...

Found a picture here showing vaguely the crank in the NA. Took the pic to show how low it sat in relation to common SUVs. The driver side crank mechanism on the SA broke a few years ago and I was able to source a pair to replace both sides.
