    Setting Expectations?

    I got good at backing up a D100 dodge van with a nice long flat deck trailer and no rear window (Except that one time). First time backing up with a back up camera confused the hell outta me!

    Yep, I Too Got Impatient...

    1. Cross winds can make your eyelids flap 2. You will only ride in shorts once. Grasshopper guts are tough to wash out of your leg hair. 3. "Crotch rockets" can not be driven slowly. You must sell it, lose your licence...or die. My ZX7R will be missed.

    Insurance Costs? (egads!) Another Can Of Worms!

    Don't get me started on the overlords that call themselves "Manitoba Public Insurance". A $3000 Toyota Echo has a $800/yr insurance cost. A Chevy Silverado1500 is around $1800/yr. A 49cc scooter is $500/yr. my dads Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1600cc is about $1800/yr. I expect to pay somewhere...

    Why Are There No Kammback Pickup Trucks?

    I'm guessing Australian. Has the pontiac G8/Holden Monaro front end and side vents Update: its the Chevy SS platform with a box. Branded Holden. It is Australian, and they killed it for 2016

    Engine Block Heater

    Full synthetic oil does wonders for cold starts. A good battery is important too.

    Why Are There No Kammback Pickup Trucks?

    You can get a mini-truck in whatever color you like...as long as it is white! It'll also have 100,000 kilometers on it and driven by a heavy smoker.

    Why Are There No Kammback Pickup Trucks?

    In Canada the import law states they must be 15+ years old. I've heard some American States can dictate 25+ years old. There are importers getting them all the time and they start at about $6000 Canadian dollars. I want a Daihatsu Hijet myself.

    Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

    Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

    Well said sir, but I feel I must add that "oil pressure" guages are a lie! There is a oil pressure sensor, but it is an open/closed switch. Add some pressure and it closes the loop, the ecm/pcm sets the guage to a pre-determined spot. Better ones will set the needle low on the guage and make it...
