Man, a street-rod Mango or early Celica with that engine would be so right. With an oldscool blower & scoop sticking up through the hood...

have fun man, I wish I could go.
During the Model T's tenure, Ford ran an advertising slogan "itchin' for a Ford"
there is a story behind this, anyone who can tell me the story wins big. (and If they care, I will vote them up)

you are in the right area, so i guess i will let you take it.
the correct story is that for the first few years Ford Model T seats were stuffed with spanish moss, and spanish moss carries Chiggers. Yay, I got parasitic itch, but I can go to town without horses.

i heard from a cajun swamp guide that the spanish moss used to stuff mattresses and furniture, nothing would nest or live in it. unless they were just pulling the stuff out of trees and stuffing it into the seats, which isn't the smartest idea in the first place. apparently the main reason they had to stop using it was because it is also really good tinder, so they would burn pretty quickly if caught on fire.

OK, lets see if anyone can get this easy one:
When buying replacement (handle bar) levers for a motorcycle, why are the the ones for the right side cheaper than the left ones?

Zombie Thread!! I saw this linked in the other thread and I can't help myself. Bikes don't fall over on the kickstand side very often, so they sell a lot more right hand levers. This is really the question that killed the thread?

Josh... the kickstand side IS the left side.
Right-side levers are cheaper because they are a simple lever that actuates the brakes. Left-side levers actuate the clutch.

Who holds the current fastest lap at the Nurburgring?

Trick question
Nick Heidlfeld has been credited with a sub 6 minute time but it was allegedly pieced from 3 laps.
I believe the fastest credited time is Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 a time of 6.11.13
