My passengers in the rear seats frequently complain about being scorched by the sun shining right on their heads through the rear window. It's already tinted, but that doesn't seem to help.

Do louvers help? Any other tricks?

Why aren't Australian fords sold internationally?

>5.4 litre v8's

and they come in all variants from cheap base models with the bare minimum to sports versions with better running gear/more power to luxury saloons that could easily compete with most euro cars in the same price range.

Surely there is a market for these cars no?

I put cooking oil in my engine 10 years ago and I've not had an oil leak to this day, despite never even replacing the filter. That's right - the oil in my car is 10 years old.

Convince me that motor oil isn't a scam to make us buy more cars.

It's a fucking station wagon, it's not a fucking "crossover".

Deal with it.

Some ass hat popped a hole in the inside of my Honda Accord 2011's back right door. Left a note but never responded to my request for insurance info.

This is the part that has the latch that the door closes to. It seems to be metal (not just some plastic composite) and it actually forms part of the trunk's wall.

Can this part be repaired or replaced by your own handiwork for, say, under 350?

Thanks

Stories about people who shouldn't own classic cars.

>Selling a 4age engine
>Guy says he needs it for his ae85
>Ok
>Guy shows up in a really nice fixed 50's ford pick up with airbag suspension.
>Chucks 4age in the back

>Really you are going to just chuck it in the back?

>Yeah, at the end of the day no matter how old or nice a truck get's it's a truck and was designed for carrying things.
>I believe classic cars should be used and get scratched up like any other car instead of sitting in a garage.

>MFW....

why are high revving engines so loved by the community
a lot of 'car enthusiast' seem to be very interested in high revving engines
if a car makes 300 hp at 6k then falls off and another car makes 300hp at 7k and falls off and both rev to 300hp at identical speed which do you prefer?
fill me in /o/
