That's right youngsters, Grandpa drove a "slammed" Chevy long before you came around, its just that he didn't appreciate the frame rails dragging on the pavement.
Yep, precisely.. I'm sure there are many young motorheads that never knew factory Air Ride was around much longer than some of them were alive..

Don't forget that Fuel Injection engines were also avail back in the 50's as well. Along with power windows, power locks, etc.

I said "NEVER MIND".

If the torque sticks were sent off for calibration, I would not need my 5 lb sledge to remove the lug nuts after coming home from the tire store. I never implied that you should use a 3/8 drive to attach lug nuts, or that 50 lb/ft was the correct spec for lug nuts.

If you are expected to be perfect, wouldn't you try to be at least not catastrophic failure prone? That is not a remark about any ones work ethic. I don't think that I ever used a personal noun when speaking about working for a living.

Bottom line is that if someone is asking for advice on the InterWebs they probably are not an expert.

And I deleted 2 more pages.
