Do You Have A Stalled Car Project? I'm Here To Help
Do You Have A Stalled Car Project? I'm Here To Help-July 2024

Jason Torchinsky

This pandemic has been a real asshole to us all, especially during the winter. But if you’re stuck in your house with a , looking for a way to bring a little more joy into your life, allow me to implore you: Just get that damn car on the road. Just do it. I’m here to help.

I can’t promise that I’ll help you wrench, but what I can do is lend you my advice. It’ll be like Car Talk, except I’ll keep my advice budget-oriented, since, remember, you’re talking with a cheap bastard, here.

Whether you live in South America, Europe, Asia, or here in North America, I want you to get your car on the road again. Hell, I’ll even write articles about your journeys if they’re interesting enough.

I’ve been working on lately, and I just know that the happiness I’ll experience while behind the wheel of that pony will be a much-needed change to what have been 12 months of, well, garbage.

I want to do what I can to help you all feel that same happiness. Email me at [email protected].

My $1 Oldsmobile Kicked Ass On A 1,400-Mile Trip And Now I'm In Love With A Boring Car
Last month, I bought a dilapidated . After getting this relic of a bygone General Motors era up and , I put it to the test this past weekend with 1,400 miles of crowded, pre-Thanksgiving American interstate. Now I think I might be in love. Clearly I’m not used to...

Despite me already having seven cars in various states of disrepair, readers keep sending more Craigslist links to shitboxes! It’s almost as if they want to see me burn.

I don’t know how this happened, but my —with its unknown service history and only recent “running” status after 11 months in a coma—is now my best car. As such, I’m taking it on a 1,400 mile road trip. God I hope I don’t have to celebrate Thanksgiving on the...

This Volkswagen Beetle Engine Rebuild Time Lapse Makes It Look Way Too Easy
This Volkswagen Beetle Engine Rebuild Time Lapse Makes It Look Way Too Easy
I return to you people from air-cooled Volkswagen Project Car Hell, only to find Hagerty’s video of a Beetle engine getting re-built. It looks so simple! It’s such a tiny engine! Everything fits together like Legos! HA! The camera lies. Either way, watching this engine get completely torn down and...

While wrenching on my this past weekend, I made a major gaffe that could have cost me hundreds of dollars. But it was just one of many blunders I’ve made over the years, and it’s the sort of thing I’ve come to embrace. And if you want to get into...
