When I was starting out as a mechanic we would use a bubble level that attached to the front hub. We would zero the level, turn the wheel to one side, zero it again then turn the weheel to the other side. That would give you your caster angle. At least that's how I remember it, that was over 20 years ago now and I haven't been in the industry for over 5 years now.

When I was buying my Magnum, my wife asked "Are you sure you want to buy a hearse?" And now that's what she calls it. "Are we taking the hearse today?" "For a hearse, it has a nice rdie" Then I remind her that her Fit will fit in the back of my car, and that usually keeps her quiet for a while.

I was hoping it'd be the updated ECOTECs... make a slightly bigger splash than saying, "The 2013 Malibu will be powered by the 182hp DI 2.4L". I rather see something like, "The 2013 Malibu is said to be powered by GM's new 2.5L DI Ecotec putting out 200hp, and updated turbocharged 2.0L found in the Regal and Verano, putting out 240hp/270lb-ft," or something like that. That's what they are saying over at GMI. It will have the new 2.5 and the reworked 2.0T. I haven't heard what the HP numbers are, but I guess we'll find out on Monday.

It has 156,000km or 90,000 miles.

Yep. It was something like -30C here last week, then it warmed up to 0C a few days ago and now it's getting cold again. The joys of living in the Great White North.

I'm not sure why they didn't work. Maybe attaching them will.

After living with 1 vehicle for a few months, my wife and I decided to get a second car. After test driving a few cars this weekend, this is what we ended up getting: It's a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT! We pick it up later today!!!

You have to love the classy neon yellow paper sign in the window!!! That just screams luxury, doesn't it?

I listen every week. I look forward to downloading this tonight and listening to it tomorrow. Keep up the good work.

New SVT Raptor driving down the street next to my house. I almost didn't notice it except for the grill.

I like the feature where you can sign in using your Facebook account. I tried logging in on my wife's laptop, but I couldn't remember my login. I used the Facebook feature and got it! Great!!!

I was driving past the local Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealership this past weekend and I noticed that there were very few vehicles on the lot. There were some Sierra's, but no Acadia's. There were a bunch of G3's and G5' and a couple of Vibe's. No Buicks at all. As I was driving through shaking my head, I noticed a black Terrain sitting in the shade close to the building. I thought I was seeing things. I stopped and got out and took a look. Very nice. There was no sticker showing options or details, but it did show the mileage ratings (24/34, from what I remember). The inside looks very nice and with the chrome wheels I thought it looked very sharp. I was going to ask if it was available for a test drive, but I had to be somewhere else. If it's still there later this week, maybe I'll try again.

On the way to work this morning we were passed by a DTS with either the "Night Vision" set-up or it was just missing the emblem.

So here's a few pictures of what I saw the other night. Dodge Viper SRT/10 BMW M3 1997 Acura NSX (I'm in the passenger seat) Ford GT Same Ford GT after a few hot laps (had steam coming out of engine, not good) This was a cool event. My wife won a ride along through her school, so she gave it to me. There were a whole bunch of guys there with there cars running them the way they were intended, around a race track as fas as they could. This is me gettting ready to go This is the piece d'resistance. A 2010 Porsche GT3. This was the first night the owner had it out on the track. He passed us like we were standing still, and almost lapped us after about 5 laps. There were also several 911's, some Caymens, there were 2 Ford GT's, one painted like the original GT40's, a Ferrari 360, a Miata, an RX-7. All around it was a very interesting night. I also learned that I will never be able to race cars as I got very ill after about 10 laps.

Doh! Dumbass! No soup for you! I think those are all of them, but I could be wrong.
