    Is that a fast-wearing design?

    The Rag Joint usually has a rubber section to dampen vibrations, so it can wear out.

    Yeah, and whenever I make a make a sharp turn, my steering feels wonky and turning the wheel takes some effort. Changing lanes and making "normal" turns is fine.

    Definitely sounds like it's worn out, good idea to fix.

    I was surprised to see that this horseless carriage was liquid-cooled. The radiator more closely resembles a heat exchanger in a residential gas furnace than a modern automotive radiator...

    Early tires didn't have tread, and I learned something else I didn't know from the owners of the old Caddy...

    Rubber is naturally white, and they didn't dye tires black back then!

    I bought a new weed eater and what a bizarre machine it is. When it's cold and first started it has so much piston slap that it rattles and bangs like an old Chevy. Once it warms up it is smooth and quiet like a Lexus, truly a Jekyll and Hyde experience.

    Speaking of old Chevrolets, how about the oddest-optioned 3rd Gen Camaro I've ever seen in person?!?! 1982 Chevy Camaro Berlinetta 2.8L V6/5-speed with no intermittent wipers and no A/C!
