Will This Walker Muffler Fit My Car?

At Autopartstomorrow.com we have a wide selection of Walker mufflers and pipes for sale. They are mainly sold to local muffler shops and garages who know how to install them. I can't tell you how may times we get calls from customers who are disappointed that what they bought will not just bolt in to their system. We do have some pipes and mufflers that will fit, but many will need to be cut out and welded in. It is just part of selling auto parts to the public. Let's make this post part of public awareness. Please CALL us before you order that Catalytic converter that is going to save you hundreds. We should be able to steer you in the right direction.

P.S. If you can weld like this you may want to apply at the local Nuclear Plant...

The Ultimate Zombipocalypse Vehicle?

 

When society finally drops into the inevitable total melt-down phase you are going to need an escape vehicle AND a place to live. Why not have one all purpose vehicle that will do both? There has been quite a bit of planning and design behind this vehicle, and I am sure it is not complete even now. It is however very important to have the project usable on the day everything goes down… because you will have a hard time ordering replacement parts on eBay thereafter.

As over the top as this design seems to be, I would bet that he would have people lining up to order “One just like that one” for $5 million or so if he chose to reproduce his dream. For now, this is the only one.

The Joy of Winter Driving...

Being from Georgia, I really do not have a lot of "driving through the snow" stories. I remember the huge winter storm we had in 1982, where it took me 4 hours, 1 small fender bender and 2 vehicles to get home from work (about 15 miles total). I do feel I eventually developed the skills though, as I participated in an all day record breaking day in the snow, delivering Dominoes pizzas to scared and shut-in suburbanites one year. I got to the point where each trip back to the store I would park using the 270 degree slide into the curb method. My favorite snow driving technique is the 180 degree turn using the gas pedal as a brake. I learned that with a very early computer game called Space Lander. Snow can be fun, but it can also be a nightmare. Read this guys story in Hemmings to share some laughs at his expense...

Atlantis Has Been Found

... or at least the technology behind how to repopulate Atlantis. We have known that this was eventually going to be invented, and now it has. Breathing underwater without the limitation of heavy scuba tanks now seems to be a real thing. Now, the first on to Bermuda with this technology for it's clients will monopolize the dive market down there... I will see you later. Now we need to make it James Bond small, or maybe surgically implant it?

The Flying Bobcat Trick

Back in the olden days when I was younger, I worked a second job for extra money at Dominoes Pizza. The restaurant industry as a whole seems to attract unique individuals, and pizza places are no exception. My store manager was an itinerant soul from the hills of Tennessee. Most of the "kids" that worked there worshiped him because of his diverse life experiences. They were still living at home with Momma, and their manager was working at his 24th job in almost as many states.

Laid back wouldn't quite describe him fully (We all pooled our money and bought him a Lazy-Boy recliner for Christmas one year). Picture Backwoods / Grateful Dead / Storyteller with a winning smile and a wandering soul... Anyway, I remember one story in particular wherein he told us about an experience he had as a trapper back in his home state. He told us all about how, as a teenager, he had a trap-line that ran along a creek near his house. Each season it would normally get him several racoons, muskrats and even an occasional beaver. One week he was nearing the end of his set when he came upon his last leg trap, attached to a VERY mad bobcat. Since his route was somewhat circular, he was fairly close to home and ran back to get a bigger gun. As he went, he began thinking that he really didn't want to kill the bobcat, but he wasn't sure how he was going to get it out of the trap.

That is when a flash of inspiration hit him... he would use an old hard sided suitcase as protection and just ease up towards the bobcat until it couldn't move away any further, and sort of clam-shell the thing most of the way closed while he removed the trap. Before he lost his nerve he grabbed the appropriate sized case and headed back into the woods. When he got back, the bobcat was still angry, but was basically just laying there panting and giving him the evil eye. Since it was about to get dark he had to work quickly. He eased up on the terrified animal, and somehow it worked just like he was expecting on the very first attempt (from personal experience these things normally don't). So, after cornering the exhausted animal into the enclosure, he knelt down on the struggling suitcase. Trying to ignore the thumping and growling and screaming coming from inside, he reached out to free the paw. As soon as the trap let go, the furious cats foot was retracted into the case, which immediately snapped all the way shut. Not knowing what else to do he clicked shut the clasps and then rolled over into the dirt next to the American Tourister to ponder the next step. Although the brilliance that originally gave light to the idea had somehow seemed to work, it was not complete in it's projection of the completed process. Now as he sat next to an eerily quiet suitcase full of potentiality, he realized that fear was precluding his ability to "finish the drill". So he did the only logical thing, and took the suitcase home with him and called several friends over to help.

Later that evening in his gravel driveway, sitting on a semi-circle of tailgates gathered around a large, growling, suitcase, several very drunk teenagers still had not figured out how to get the suitcase open without losing a limb. Finally one of them came up with a great idea. There was a place near town where a tunnel went though a mountain and a vertical wall rose from the roadbed. If the suitcase were dropped in just the right way, it would pop open and the bobcat could run away unharmed. Just to make sure, they would drop it and then run back away from the edge so that the angry cat didn't get any ideas about tracking them down for revenge.

So "They loaded up the truck..." and they put 4 guys in back to keep the suitcase from sliding around. When they got to the backside of this particular hill, they still needed to walk quite a way to drop the cat. More beer was consumed, more laughs were shared, and eventually they emerged above the road. Two guys were elected to take it the final 10 feet or so and push it over the edge. With a whoop and a redneck salute (Budweiser raised in the air) the bobcat was on his way. There was a rustling of grass, leaves and pebbles, a pause while the cat was temporarily flying through the air, and then a loud thump... followed by muffled bobcat screaming, then silence again. Somehow in all of the logistical planning, and the beer, the part where the latches needed to be undone first was overlooked. To make it worse, the suitcase was now lying down there on the side of the road. The two drop zone guys ran in horror back to the group, and they all ran back down the far side to the truck. They tore off around the mountain and back through the tunnel. When they emerged, they were just in time to see a car speeding off from the side of the road, but no suitcase. They all piled out and looked on both sides of the road, down in the ditch, back a ways into the tunnel, and found nothing. To this day all my friend can imagine is that another car came out of the tunnel while they were still making their transit down and around the mountain, saw the suitcase,  jumped out, threw it in their trunk and left before anyone could see what they had done... at some point the story had an end that would have been fun to watch.  --Tom Morrow
