Just did 2000 miles through AK and Yukon in my Subaru. $5 a gallon in Tok, AK. $6.80 in Dawson City. When I could keep the car moving between 45 and 85 (cruise control is of limited use), 28 mpg! Slower sections, about 26. I have been getting 24 with kayaks on the roof. I guess I had good timing get...

Turbo Subaru
I would put this under projects, but I don’t have any plans. My Rover is gone. As Walt would say, it didn’t have enough pedals. Since I’m still roving AK, I guess I can keep my username.

That was much of the joy of drag racing for me. The game really starts before you even fire up the engine, but it really gets critical during the burnout. Everything had to be a routine and nothing screwed me up more than something unexpected during the routine. A couple of things that I remember: -...

They really do plow only when...

We never used to know anything about the history of a car and we never really worried. If everything is functional, it doesn't matter too much. It would be nice to know why as that can predict some future problems. If the previous owner isn't the one who salvaged the car, I wouldn't expect too much ...

Alaskan Asphalt Shredders
OK, not really high performance, but my project yesterday was to install new tires on both vehicles - Land Rover Discovery and Saab 9-2X (non turbo). Up here the prevailing wisdom is studs, even with awd. Above the 60th parallel, we are allowed to have studs September 15 through May1. We haven't had...
