Criminal Speeding, Police Taking Innocent Man’s Car and more…

Rip Roaring Garage

Criminal Speeding and Civil Asset Forfeiture are some of the biggest issues in our country. What is going on, particularly Red States and Counties that practice these authoritarian measures?

Who are you protecting? Here are just three cases of police over-reach and glee.

He was an unwilling passenger in a high-speed chase. Police still seized his car – KSTP-TV Minneapolis, MN:

Pinal County Sheriff’s Office @PinalCountySheriffsOffice Friday With Frank, Criminal Speeding against Camaro with WAY TOO MUCH glee for wrecking a woman’s life:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=burG_gnXRcA&ab_channel=PinalCountySheriff%27sOffice

This isnt how things are done. And while these are just three cases, there are SO MANY more abusive seizures of cars and money. This will be a long term series on Policing, from our point of view as Hemiheads and Gearheads! So the war against cars comes from all sides, but we can change things together!

Canadian Wildfires Dump Ash on Our Cars – (News Reports Are Wrong!) – Protect your Paint Job

Rip Roaring Garage

Canadian Wildwires wreak havoc for air quality but also our cars that get parked outdoors. Common sense would say to just wash your cars, and douse them with enough water to make sure all the ash gets washed away!
Don’t rub your car paint with dry clothes, dusters or anything like that without lubrication.
Of course, news channels don’t know much about cars, so I poke a bit of fun at their segment, while also giving some insight into Doppler radar and how its not as bad as it might seem.
Yes, we did get the orange sky, red sun, eerie Mars looking scenery.
Let me know how you like the formatting. The next few episodes will each have a different feature Im testing, so bear with me!
Always, remember

Charlotte Police Can Now Take Your Car from Car Meet – Detroit Takes 2 Lambos from 1 Owner

Rip Roaring Garage

More stories about Police impounding, seizing and just taking cars from law abiding individuals, for now other reason that as a cash grab.

We start off with the story of a man with a 1965 Chevy (cudos to him for daily driving that car), who had his registered, functional car towed away by LAPD, by an officer that falsified the reports, lying that his car was missing its engine, transmission, interior, etc, when there was nothing wrong with it.

I do recommend Steve Lehto’s channel, as there are so many cases, recently a Missouri city that has an insane law, seizing and towing people’s cars from their own property. Where does this end?

Second case, is how Detroit took not one, but two Lamborghini’s from the same owner. No racing, no illegal activity, but it didn’t matter. They took them, with no charged brought, because the chief of Detroit PD wanted to “permanently seize” the cars to use them for whatever he wanted.

As such, the cars were damaged with thousands of dollars worth of dings, dents and scratches, many miles put on the cars and so on. Most of the time, towing due to seizure or impounding doesn’t focus on not damaging the car. J-hooks, straps, chains will cause so much damage to some cars, and these are damages an owner will never recuperate from the police department.

The final piece, is on Charlotte, NC with their new law against Street Takeovers. There are laws on the books already but now they will punish the innocent, and take their cars. This in effect makes any legitimate care meet, cars and coffee, etc, susceptible to impound. Even spectators (which are ill defined, if this means somebody recording or just glancing by as they walk home) liable to criminal charges.

This is insane, and unjust. Call your local senators, mayors, and let them know that this will not stand. Its hard, but these types of injustices cannot stand, and unless we voice our concerns, nothing will change.

Thanks for being here, during this change to the new format. We can make a difference becase…

Are Markups Coming Back in Q3 for Dodge? Banking Storm at Fault

Rip Roaring Garage

Happy Father’s Day to all the Rippers and Mopar Gearheads out there!

Let’s talk Dodge Markups. Many channels have reported that deals are happening, prices are coming down, and inventory is piling up. This could be merely due to a higher supply than demand, or something else.

The SVB banking problem may be the root of the problem, as lending institutions were weary on issuing car loans across the board, for all types of car loans. This resulted in people being unable to get the loan, and thus, unable to buy the cars. This resulted in the stock piles of Challengers and Chargers, Scat Packs, Hellcats, Redeyes and Jailbreaks piling up on the lot.

Banks needed to keep liquidity on hand to prevent a bank run, but now, that fear is subsiding compared to the fear of not having enough loans on the books. Banks need to issue loans, to make money from the interest!

I do go over reasons why some sales with no markup occur, since dealers may be able to subside for a while without a car sale, but the sales personnel, salesman and saleswoman just can’t. If they don’t earn a commission they will quit and move to other careers. That’s why you can see a car sold with markup, followed up no markup on the same day at the same dealership.

This is a much more tricky problem, but strictly talking about the cars, this is a good opportunity to try to buy a cool Mopar, with a Hemi V8. As scarcity of these cars sets in, and the press from the final car being built, demand can only increase.

Good luck out there, and remember

Car Culture in Communist Romania – Tractors, Trabants and a VW Prototype

Rip Roaring Garage

What was car ownership like in Communist Romania under Ceausescu? To understand this, we need to look at how private ownership was always secondary to state ownership. And the stars were always trucks and tractors. The UTB Tractors were a fluke, as they were some of the best tractors of their time, and even tot his day will command high prices.

Yes, UTB tractors were imported into the US under the Long Tractors brand name, where even the non functioning examples command thousands of dollars, with operational units going well into the five digit pricing! This was done only due to passionate gear heads that had to misfortune of living under communism.

Trucks were almost in their entirety license built, with designs coming from the USSR, which in turn had received them from the US post-WWII. Such as the Bucegi truck here, built from a ZIL license, which was built from a 1957 Ford Pickup, upsized into commercial truck territory.

One of the smaller trucks, the Aro, retains a lot of character, from the old ZIL based truck, to the original 200 series, being a simple, rugged truck, meant to remain in service with minimal tooling. It was the Jeep Cherokee of Iron Block Romania.

Let’s look at what “imports” the communist Romanian buyer had available. One such import was the Trabant. I will give the Zwickau team credit. Germans will do german things as we can see from the way they set up the automation on their assembly line. Remember, the Trabant was made from “duroplast” a material not unlike cardboard.

Finally, let’s look at a 1974 VW Passat prototype. VW’s were not available to the public. Only the police or party members would have access to such cars, and usually Beetles. The Passat here is a strange case, since Western car makers rarely tried entering Soviet markets, but with Renaul licensing cars to Dacia, VW was no doubt trying something similar.

The report shows the focus on the Romanian market, on items we have had for a long time, like adjusting mirrors, and seat belts. While we look at this VW as being rather ugly, it would be sad as a average Romanian, looking at something like this, with longing, knowing they could never attain it, and never afford it.

Here’s to all our gear head brothers that made it out of one block, to enter another…

Why Urbanism is evil; I react to a video that wants to take our cars, tax us and cage us

Rip Roaring Garage

I react to a video on Urbanism. So, this is a raw reaction and solo debate based on what I hear for the first time.

Already, the comments and intro give it away as making points that support their argument. The video maker wants to focus on emotional points, not rational ones. Safety gets put over freedom, to the point freedom is never mentioned once.

All of his arguments are a political video at best, or “take somebody elses money and give it to me” at worst. He lives in a city and focuses only on the city. Why is it that people in the city cannot see beyond the city limits? They lack the understanding of how supply chains, agriculture, industry work. Its as if things magically teleport into their stores and they don’t ever need to move.

That’s the same thing as life as a gerbil, with all it needs to live magically provided by somebody else. They don’t care, or worse, do and just want other people’s money to fund their way of life, knowing full well they cannot fund it on their own.

The examples they give, of transit are straight from transit agencies press releases, where all the dangers, problems, delays are ignored. I worked in transit, and I can tell you, driving a car will always be cheaper and faster. The only way to make it cheaper is by levying taxes on cars, fuel, etc.

And if all else fails, the video creator mentions force. Force auto manufacturers to comply with their will, for their visions.

This is why you cant argue with an urbanist, because there is no argument, no debate. Its gimme gimme gimme, now now now. And if you don’t, force!

I decided to publish this video, to showcase our opponents. This is how they view us. They see us as an infestation. We heard this language many times in history and knows how it goes.

But in the end, we must win because

Dodge Challenger Personality Types – What does your trim level say about you?

Rip Roaring Garage

#Challenger #Hemi #Hellcat

What does your Challenger say about you? Think of this as a sort of personality test for Dodge Challenger owners. Its tongue in cheek and meant as a fun Fourth of July video. I even manage to get some of that Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right beer! Its beer! And its Right! (notsponsored)

We go through most of the trims, from the Dodge Challenger SXT and GT trims (including the Blacktop), AWD, RWD, up through the 392 Scat Packs, Narrow Body and Wide Body, Shakers, Manual Transmissions, and what each says about you!

Cant leave out the supercharged Challengers, with Hellcats, the 717HP variants, up to the Redeyes, 797HP and of course, the halo cars, the Dodge Challenger Redeye Jailbreak, the Super Stock and the 1320!

I hope this was as fun for you as it was for me making this video, and Im really looking forward to replying to your comments!

No matter what generation you are,

#Charger #Hellcat #Hemi

Happy 4th of July! It’s the Dodge Charger owners’ turn to find out what our cars say about ourselves. Add in a touch or roasting too, and lets go.

We start with the V6 Chargers, the Charger SXT and Charger GT trims, including the Police Package cars, that include some of the Altima Vibes, and old beat up Crown Vic wacker vibes. Lets try to tone that done a bit there lol.

We head into V8 territory with the Dodge Charger R/T Hemi, off to the Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack, narrow and Wide Body, and of course, some ranting on Dodge, ads and red interiors!

Supercharged Chargers are the Hellcats, the 717HP models, narrow and again Wide Body, going up to the Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye Wide Body, and of course the top dog Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak Wide Body (mouthful!)

I hope you enjoy this one. I did (along with the Ultra Right Beer! Seriously, if you guys know somebody with them, let me know. Wouldn’t minds the beerz moneys)

Speaking of which, thanks for the support in last episode, and I can make a few more of these, including the Last Call special edition cars. I have some in mind, as well as more outside stuff!

Last Call Dodge Challenger Shakedown – The 80s Challenger We Got 40 Years Late?

Rip Roaring Garage

Dodge Challenger Shakedown Narrow Body that was supposed to be Smoke Show Gray, but instead its in Destroyer Gray. I like the change, much nicer overall I think. I do go over the car, the changes in the production model and what makes it stand out.

While the car does have markup, I do reveal why there is a big incentive to sell these cars cheaper, in order to get the bigger heavy hitters on the lot. Dodge has a plan that just might work.

In the meantime, the big thing is the interior. For those that don’t like the bright red, the Shakedown’s come with black Alcantarra but with red stitching along the door panels, dash and center console. It’s a very nice touch and as opposed to other colors (like green!) the red stands out very nicely and accents the red stripe on the outside.

The negative would be the badging that is stickers, but it does harken back to the IROC days and the 80s (kind of why I picked that song from Alex Nakarada!)

If you are interested in buying it, let me know and I can try to work out a deal (not afficilated other than being friends with my salesman that sold me a bunch of cars, though I will say that Im very…VERY tempted to get this for myself)

It does have the Handling Package, with the flat bottom steering wheel, the 275 Pirelli’s, red calipers, and of course, the Shaker hood.

Its just a regular 392 Scat Pack, with the TorqueFlite automatic. The question is…which one do I trade in to get it LOL. While editing this video, I admit I started to really like this car. And while it has a markup, it is no different than any of the other Last Call Dodges, so it is being treated as any other Challenger on the lot.

I had a heart attack and nearly died (not exaggerated)

Rip Roaring Garage

I had a heart attack, and wanted to thank every single one of you that messaged me, called, or just commented. They say that well wishes don’t matter? That’s only from people that never got any, and don’t know how important it is in helping you get back on your feet.

I recorded this the day I got back from the hospital, where they placed a stent in, mostly for myself, but I have plenty of fight in me, and this channel and what we are doing here is important. So I wont be taking time off, and instead want to do more, and better videos in the future.

But all of that is due to you guys.

Hagerty Goes Full Woke – The Black Ghost Hoax!

Rip Roaring Garage

#BlackGhost #Hoax #Hagerty

Two different stories blend into one. The 1970 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost scam, as being a legendary drag racer, as well as Hagerty going full environmental carbon credits, DEI and woke.
This all began with me digging deeper as Hagerty non-renewed me and failed to pay for some minor claims as a regular insurance company. I suspect its due to the older video I made about them, and the magazine, pushing political propaganda, and nothing about collector cars.
Looking through their website and searches, you notice how hard Hagerty is propping up the story of the Black Ghost. The Youtube channel Uncle Tony’s Garage goes into this way better (link in pinned comment), and I do recommend watching it in its entirety. This car can in no way be a drag racing legend. It’s a bone stock car, fully loaded (making it heavier).
But looking further we find the whole MGM movie deal, how everthing about this car is a manufactured story, including the National Historic Vehicle Registry (owned by Hagerty), its showcasing in various Concours d’Elegance, Amelia Island showings (also owned by Hagerty).
The sad part is that if they wanted diversity, they could have chosen Big Willie Robinson, who has a well documented history of doing good for the car community. But its about money, and making it for themselves.
Hagerty is on board with carbon credits, every woke talking point, to where they exclude the largest demographic. I suspect that is what they are doing, by cancelling policies by some algo, for some client recomposition. Hagerty is now engaged in political activism, they pledge support to stakeholders, but not their customers or even share holders.
What happened to this once great company? Can it be fixed? Can any of them return?
If you want, listen to the video. There are some odd tells, showing there is more going on, mostly from the operator’s nervousness or silence. (I wont lie and say there are gotchas, but its still very coincidental and messed up)
But at least here, oil is thicker than blood, my brothers!

Dodge Charger Daytona 392 Crash Analysis – Hemi Challenger Thefts on the RIse – 2023 UAW Strike!

Rip Roaring Garage

A close friend was in a serious car crash with his brand new Dodge Charger Daytona 392. The car was totaled, but it kept him safe. It is a testament to how well made these cars are. They don’t just go fast really well, but are safe.

I go into a more in depth analysis of the collision and point out where the Dodge shined, despite such a heavy collision against a large pickup truck. The car was rear ended, and shoved into another car in front, resulting in severe damage to the trunk and engine compartment area.
Despite all this, the cabin frame did not buckle, to where the doors were opened easily, allowing quick escape. The damage also reveals some peculiarities of Hemi’s (Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300 and 300C) of how these cars behave, in part to the large tires that seem to act as bumpers, preventing ingress into the cabin space.

This was a very sad story, though it does have a happy outcome, as my friend was able to find another new Daytona 392. In this crazy market, getting one without markup is awesome. But he, as well as all of us here won’t forget that the poor little car gave itself to save her occupants. RIP Daytona.

Things arent as good for the second car in the video. It’s a 50th Anniversary car, a 2020 Dodge Challenger Hemi. It’s a 5.7 V8, that my friend has been modifying for some time now. It has esthetic as well as performance modifications, as the car has been on a diet, shedding weight to the point it was holding its own against 392 Scat Packs.

From the simpler to do oil catch can, to the insanely awesome rear seat delete with OEM parts, he made this car his, and was keeping me up whenever he added (or removed) something. So it broke my heart to learn the reason for his silence in the past few days.

The car was stolen. Its horrible when your car is stolen but even the hope of recovering it and taking on scuffs, broken windows and the smell of ashtray was dashed when I saw what was done. It was totaled as well.

So, please, do what you can when it comes to anti-theft measures. It’s a sad world when you can barely have a nice car without idiots doing things to your car or flat out taking it. Police are of little use, and completely pointless in most US cities.

But, please, reach out if you are bummed. Either in a comment, email, anything. And I know that even if Im late I will answer. We are all that we have, as brothers.

As far as the UAW strike. I feel that FCA (Dodge) workers may be in for a hard time, as Dodge likely will shut down the Brampton Ontario plant without replacing the assembly line, to get rid of contracts or workers, or simply to offshore. History may repeat itself as Ford did in 2011 with the end of the Crown Victoria (Grand Marquis and Towncar) when the St Thomas plant in Ontario was shut down, and torn down.

Unions don’t care, nor do they help the harders working employees, since its all about seniority, not passion or dedication. And that is one thing I have seen with the Brampton workers. You guys have the passion and drive. So, thank you for building our cars, and being part of the Brotherhood of Muscle!

NHTSA Demands Recall for 54 MILLION Cars – ACR Says Cars Are Safe and Why I Agree

Rip Roaring Garage

NHTSA is demanding that a large auto parts supplier issue a recall for over 54 million cars (at time of recording, the number seems to have gone up since).
ACR, an airbag and safety equipment manufacturer based out of Tennessee is being asked to recall any vehicle equipped with its airbags, made between 2010 and 2017.
Vehicles included are Ford Mustangs and F-150s, BMW X5s (various models), Hyundai and Kias, as well as several GM Models, such as the Chevy Malibu, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse. Stellantis is included as well with Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 cars made between those ranges.
ACR denies there is a problem, and honestly, one tends to agree considering that only 5 injuries and 2 fatalities occurred since 2010 over the spread of these tens of millions of vehicles, many having been in collisions that resulted in deployment of airbags.
This hits home as I was in such a collision, where the airbag itself (a Takata airbag) resulting in my broken neck. So I do want to discuss the way these devices work. They will save a person at the very edge of what was not survivable, creating the headlines for wild collisions, but at the same time, for minor collions (of which there are far more events), the injuries are greater than they would be without these devices.
I also discus the IIHS Crash Test of the 2009 Chevy Malibu vs 1959 Chevy Bel Air. This is an organization that benefits Insurance companies, and works at their behest, not ours. As such, their interest is in imposing what they believe to be cheaper for insurance companies. I talk about the crash test, but since recording, I learned (remembered) that the car in question was bought and evidence was found the car’s frame was tampered with, to produce that spectacular footage.
And if safety devices are always a better option, then why do these recalls even happen? This brings the question of what happens when these airbags age? What happens with corrosion and decay over the years, decades? Will there be recalls of 40, 50 year old cars?
What is your opinion?
Remember though, no matter what, Oil is thicker than blood!

UAW Goes on Strike – Unifor Canada to Follow? Unions Workers and Manufacturers are Delusional - RANT

Rip Roaring Garage

UAW goes on strike! GM, Ford and Stellantis factories are shut down in the US, as well as Canada. Unifor (formerly CAW) is the Canadian union for auto workers at plants such as Brampton or Windsor will vote on their strike this coming Monday (Sept 18, 2023).

The media is covering the strike however few if any large outlets are talking about what the UAW or Unifor’s list of demands are. So, I find their demands, and go over them.

They are as outlandish as ever, from large pay increases, instant promotions, 30 hour work weeks, guaranteed jobs, pension increases, increased medical coverage, and more.

Yes…I go on a rant on unions in general, not just UAW or Unifor. Both sides are delusional and out of touch. This will only hurt the workers and population at large, that depend on their vehicles.

To be fair, theres a lot going on, and I would not be surprised if Brampton shuts down, the factory that built our Dodge Challengers and Charger, as Stellantis and the others are gearing towards the production of more EVs, despite how the market does not want to adopt them.

CEOs are equally delusional though, as I talk about the attitude and entitlement found on both sides of labor disputes.

Even 45th Pres Donald Trump commented on EVs and UAW workers (which I do in the most awful voice! I tried)

Im sure this will stir up debate, which is never a bad thing.

WD-40 Berryman Stabil and more get BANNED in 2024 – WD40 Gets Owned by AvE

Rip Roaring Garage

I was right. They’re banning most automotive chemicals, sprays, oils, lubricants, etheres and more!

True, its Canada, starting January 2024, there will be sweeping bans on anything flammable (though not exclussively). The Canadian Environmental agency deemed these chemicals bad mojo, without any consideration to the effects on labor, and the economy.

Most of us watching, are in the US, so the question is, will this affect us? Of course it will. Smaller companies, that somehow manage to file any exemption paperwork, pay entire armies of attorneys for the unfeasibility studies when it comes to compliance to the new regs, must produce reformulated products for the Canadian market.

This means that for the same revenue, a company has to make two products, with two formulations, serving the same exact purpose. Obviously the reformulated garbage won’t be good. It might not even work, but the issue is, with a growing ban by states (since they do love jumping on ban bandwagons), this leaves the company no choice but to drop the old good version and make ONLY the compliant version.

Brakleen was a great example of this. This product was itself a response to an older ban, but over the years, the product actually becomes good. Much like with CAFÉ standards that are met by cars that actually perform, and are what we want, the moment that occurs, the standards are increased. In some cases, like with CAFÉ to insane, impossible levels. Its as if theyre not meant to be complied with, and rather meant to end said industry or market.

WD-40 even has to audacity to market speak on AvE’s video, corpo speaking, trying to promote reformulated garbage. But we have seen this before with Kleenstrip Aircract Remover, and the ban of Methylene Chloride, just because two morons FAFOed and their mommies went to the EPA to ban the chemical. Funny how that their argument was a safety argument. Is the EPA now OSHA?

Either way, this safety culture is all about control and protecting their power. So stuck up and get ready. Its gonna get froggy out there.

SHOCKING Performance – Dodge Challenger Hurricane Inline-6 Twin Turbo Sound…Better than a Hemi V8?

Rip Roaring Garage

#Dodge #DirectConnection #HurricaneEngine

Dodge Hurricane Engine Review (sound and quarter mile) based on the video in which the Direct Connection Challenger Drag Pak, with the inline-6 twin turbo Hurricane engine for upcoming Dodge cars attempts some drag runs. The car is shown racing on the famous Woodward Ave drag strip, in Detroit, MI, the heart of American Muscle Car culture.

Video has been covered by several channels so far, but let’s help out a smaller channel, @TheMoparJunkie for recording such an important piece of automotive news, showcasing the sound the Dodge Hurricane Challenger makes. Regardless of Dodge Hurricane Sound, the video is very important! (Also, congrats to him, on his beautiful new Chrysler 300C!)

The Dodge Hurricane Challenger Drag Pak underperforms, in every metric that matters to buyers. Sure, it still looks good, but speed and exhaust sound are very muted. The Direct Connection team blames this on the car not being dialed in, which either shows that they don’t have a product anywhere near ready, or that this is the final product. A slow, heavy six cylinder car.

Dodge Hurricane engine 0-60 can’t be all that great either, from the drag runs in the video. Dodge Hurricane engine exhaust sounds more like a turbo diesel dump truck, or a bus than a muscle car.

This is Woodward Ave! Manufacturers bring out their fastest, dominating cars to test, as well as show off to enthusiasts. Yet, this is what Dodge thought was good enough. It is a major failure on Dodge’s part, in my opinion.

But, this is a win for us. Dodge realizes their EV electrification plans are not going well. EV’s are becoming the poisonous fruit for the auto industry. Sure, a Hemi V8 would be ideal, but this car, and its future failure will prove that we want internal combustion, and we want V8s (in the front, and with manuals please. Thanks GM *insert snarky Vette smile*)

I do mention ButterdaGreat’s video (burying the hatchet), and while I agree and think it’s a good video, I make my claim why Dodge cannot bring back the Apache 392 Hemi. As much as I want that, it doesn’t make sense. At least not for the next few years, by which time a new engine would be needed anyway.

California is sending surveys to classic car owners as well. This is not a coincidence. They know the effect classic cars have on young people. It is a sign of weakness. So, its on us, to step up, and get involved. Check out your local car clubs, and join them. It’s a fun way to get into this lifestyle, where we help each other, from buying a car, to repairs, and even yes, political issues. Cars are a part of our lives. Car clubs channel that, and due to our large numbers, politicians must listen. Just remember to avoid a certain insurance company!

So, share this video, get involved! Rev up! Thank you to all of you that stepped up in our club (more on that later), that subscribed, liked, did all the social media things you do. You guys are awesome.

Special thanks to Sandro! My brother in gasoline!

Dodge Charger EV Needs COAL and YUGE Govt Spending $$$ to be Built – Dodge Will Fail in 2024

Rip Roaring Garage

Recent news covers the ground breaking for the $4B Panasonic EV Battery Plant in De Soto KS, to supply 2170 Long Cylinder EV batteries for auto makers. We will look over several articles, including Panasonic’s own press release regarding the power consumption required to keep the lights on for the plant.

Yes, an entire coal power plant will be needed to power this EV plant. A coal plant slated for decommissioning due to environmental concerns is now suddenly ok to remain open. Not for your power, not for your electric bill getting cheaper, no, for Panasonic to build batteries for EVs that nobody wants to buy.

Before we get into more car related aspects, I do want to mention how politicians in red states seem to be fighting over getting this plant, and the associated power plant. Oklahoma, Wyoming and Kansas duked it out, with Kansas ultimately winning out the contract.

Somehow this is deemed a win for job creation? These are jobs that will not last, but give a false sense of job security to workers. Even if EVs do sell, and some makes (like Tesla) have stronger sales (though dwindling also), Dodge is not one of those makes.

Yes, Dodge. This plant is a joint venture between Panasonic, BMW and Stellantis. These batteries will be powering the new Dodge Charger Daytona EV along with every other EV Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram will offer.

Dodge went from being the bad boys to getting pats on the head from their EU overlords.

I go into my opinions on why the car is so important, dating back to the Civil War, Lincoln, the Wild Wild, and what the horse meant, and the transition to the horse being replaced by the automobile (focus on the auto, the autonomy). Prohibition saw a surge in the popularity and use of cars, leading to the birth of Nascar. Right now, we are faced with that existential threat to our way of life and our values.

Dodge hopes that we will buy these EVs by making their gasoline cars…suck. Last time I talked about the Hurricane Challenger at the drag racing event on Woodward Ave in Detroit. Since then, I have learned that the live streaming event, the Roadkill Nights suspended the stream anytime the Hurricane Challenger did a run. People were booing, mocking its performance and sound.

Time will tell.

I will begin putting in interesting videos related to Mopar, or Car Culture, and kicking it off is the sad fate of a Dodge Charger Daytona. Yes, bloopers at the end too, so keep watching, hemi a like and remember

TRUMP Pledges to End BIDEN EV Mandates – PA Trucking Crisis (as viewed by a gear head)

Rip Roaring Garage

#Trump #EV #EPA

Trump Pledges to End Biden EV Mandates. We get into the political climate in the US, and how its affecting us, from EVs to trucking, jobs and the economy. Inflation is already beating us down, but we can expect more hardship due to regulations from Environmental activists, increasing the prices of trucking, and ultimately food.

EVs are still not economically viable, as they need subsidies and regulations, in the hope to increase their sales. All it does, is increase the prices of ICE cars, as a means to offset the massive losses in EV. Things are changing fast though, between the economic state of Western countries, to public opinion and appetite.

I go over John Stossel’s interview with a Pennsylvanian trucker, about the new regulations on diesel trucks. These regulations will increase the costs of new diesels by roughly 30%. Forget about the fact that there are no electric big rigs, this will add cost to goods shipped in the state.

The problem we see with older generations, is that they are willing to debate, and argue rationally against such measures and regulations. But you cannot argue with a religion. Its why I will keep saying it, you either convert to them, or you say no.

Of course, these politicians behave this way for power and money, but as a thought exercise, imagine what tech we could have if we did not use bans, but rather proactive solutions, such as air scrubbers. One cant help but think of terraforming, Mars, and other endeavors that never happen, in part due to the EPA.

The shocking aspect in Pennsylvania, is the Environment Quality Board, made up on self proclaimed “experts” such as the Heads of the PA Wildlife Board, Fish and Game or the Museum Board. This is more “experts say”, in an attempt to not be questioned, so us plebs merely obey. The problem is, people cannot AFFORD to obey. There isnt enough money, and this is how things collapse.

Gavon Newsom, governor of California is still doubling down on the ICE ban, with states like PA, NY, NJ, following blindly, right off the cliff. But, hopefully this will change in 2024.

BONUS

I take a quick look at the Luton Airport fire, where officials in the UK flat out lied that it was caused by a diesel fire. It was a 2014 Range Rover Diesel HYBRID, a hybrid with a Li-Ion battery pack that exploded, igniting other EVs, causing the massive inferno.

Rome is burning, and us peasants cannot afford to maintain this EV madness.

Vote accordingly. Oil is thicker than blood!

What is Giga Casting? What’s a Giga Press 2.0? The Era of Disposable Cars is Here!

Rip Roaring Garage

What is Giga Casting? What is Giga Press 2.0? What about Giga Press 1.0 for that matter?
Giga Casting, also known as Giga Press, is a technological process of high pressure die-casting aluminum, for large assemblies. The process uses heat as well as pressure.

The big problem in finding out more about Giga Press is the Tesla fans. They often do not understand technology and resort to using buzz words to justify their purchases or fan-ness.

Tesla is known for branding existing tech processes, and calling it innovation. The Tesla “Unboxed Process” is merely the old way of building vehicles, prior to the assembly line (which Tesla still uses). The reason Tesla is moving back to this stationary method is due to Giga Press.

Giga Casting is the means by which Tesla hopes to build the as much of an entire car in one cast. The reason for this is to cut down on robot or human assembly, to cut costs and improve supply chain mechanics.

I do cover definitions, since Tesla fans (and Elon Musk himself) conflate terms. So I do talk about body-on-frame cars, and the innovation of the FWD drive train assembly. No, sadly exoskeleton cars are just unibody cars

There are some innovations at Tesla, and that is the means by which molds are made. Sand is often used when making molds, but using a 3D printer to make such molds is novel, and clever. Obviously 3D printed molds can yield complex geometries in die-cast parts

Giga-casting has flaws though. Many flaws. The biggest is the lack of repairability. Parts cannot be replaced, since its one single component. Much like the Rivian dent scandal, where a small dent cost $55,000 to repair, Tesla will suffer even worse when it comes to replacing panels and other parts. There seems to be this conflation between innovation and “fewer parts”. More parts means cheaper repairs, easier replacement of smaller components

Another flaw is the casting itself, that will result in deformation of the end product. Casting is rather rough to begin with, but works in heavy, smaller components, such as engine blocks, differential housings, etc. Casting the whole body of the car is why Tesla’s are known for very poor body fitment and panel gaps

Ultimately, Giga Casting only benefits the manufacturer, cutting their costs, while it increases repair costs, shortens vehicle life and durability. Aluminum as it is work hardens, resulting is stress risers, cracks and fissures that can total out a car. This is why in aviation, they replace entire aircraft skins, ribs, spars regularly. This cannot be done with single pieces made with a Giga Press. Any repair in effect becomes replacing the entire car

So, get ready for disposable cars, and of course, higher insurance costs due to the increased repair costs (if repairs are even cost effective to begin with!). And even if you don’t have a car made with a Giga Press, our premiums will still go up.

Lithium Ion Batteries – EXTREME Fire and Explosions in Power Tools and Cellphones

Rip Roaring Garage

What happens when Li-Ion Batteries are exposed to pressure, crushing, shock or heat? Let’s look at the recent video posted by Hydraulic Press Channel and discuss what is happening in several cases, of different types of Lithium Ion batteries, from single cells, to consumer electronics such as phone, iphones, to power tool battery packs.

As much as I do like their channel, I will call out certain statements regarding the battery technology used in these electronics as well as EV cars. This comes in the wake of the Luton Airport massive parking garage fire.

On top of this, I do want to discuss the concerns with oxidation of home electronics, off-gassing of chemicals and other forms of slow burn, and possible toxic exposure. This type of slow burn is a serious concern of landfills as well as many of these batteries do make their way to garbage dumps etc.

Let’s talk about this.

Oil is thicker than blood!

Why You Should Buy a Dodge Challenger just NOT from Ideal Media – A Completely Fake Channel - Review

Rip Roaring Garage

I review one of the fakest car channels ever. Ideal Media is as fake as possible, pushing weird lies about the Dodge Challenger, specifications and costs associated with owning one of these cars.
From fake history of the late 60s Muscle Cars to the infamous “Black Ghost” Challenger perpetrated by Hagerty Insurance, they cant seem to get their numbers right. On top of that, they just repeat the same old tired jokes, that just arent funny. They havent been since the Carter administration.
But, what made me truly review this, is another example of a fake internet guy claiming to be a “master mechanic” that clearly has ZERO knowledge about these cars, or even general mechanic knowledge. The guy even uses a fake edited in backdrop of a garage.
The truth is, that they envy us. Not for the cars, but for our camaraderie, our brotherhood, that will stand even if you take away the cars. It’s a way of life. Why?
Because oil is thicker than blood!

Iconic vintage car commercials – Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, Chevy Camaro and more

Rip Roaring Garage

Lets take a trip through history and watch some vintage car commercials! From the mid-sixties to 1969, with a few stops in the 80s and 2000s, to show just how much things have changed, or havent.
I will watch and comment on a few of them, like the first ever Ford Mustang Commercial in 1965 at the World’s Fair in NYC, to the iconic Volcano commercial for the all new Chevy Camaro in 67.
Of course, we cant forget about Dodge, the quintessential Muscle Car with the Charger R/T. Do you have a Date with Dodge Fever?
Mid 60s were laid back with Ford Galaxy 500 or Chevy II aka Nova or with the no nonsense narration of Lt Col John “Shorty” Powers for the Olds Delta 88. Pontiac was breaking the mold with cars and ads with a very uncharacteristically dynamic ad for 65 with their track focused commercial!
Transitioning to the late 60s is probably the most expensive of all these ads short of the Camaro ad, is the AMC Ambassador ad, with the Red Carpet Ride ad, all done with an actual unfurling red carpet!
But, lets face it. 1969 is the year to beat, and Ford’s LSD fueled ad campain of “Ford gives you better ideas” is both psychotic and hilarious at the same time! Ford Torino, Ford Mustang from Grande to Mach1, LTD all seen in the “Performance Corner”, if you had a time machine!
To round it all off, we compare these to the 2000s, Honda Element “I Pinch” ad, that spurred a series of Element and Friends ads, website, video game and even a Myspace page for the crab.
And since this is stuck in my head, yes, the 1985 Chevy Astro commercial. Because the 80s is what happens if you take 1969 and make a decade out of it. With more neon colors.
Oil is thicker than blood!
