Introduction and a silly question.

Well, I thought it was about time I join in on the discussions around here. ;-) My daily driver is a 98 chevy c1500 with a ford mustage 5 speed tyranny(well practically). So I think I fit in. ;-) Any my silly question is how do I lite a cigarette with a car that has no cigarette lighter? I had my cigarette on the exhaust manifold for ten minutes and no fire. ;-(

Welcome. Spark plug wire.

Quit smoking silly , no more problem

MAPP gas torch. Get the click-light type.

My Zx2 doesn't have a lighter. Simple solution.

They call them lighters.

Nah, that's too obvious.

quit smoking... have lot's more money for car stuff

Light one before you hit the road and just keep chaining them till you get where you are going.

I, for one, love smoking.

I would have used the shotgun,but I left it home.

this way

Buy a Miata. It will have a cigarette lighter.

THIS

smoke your tires. it's about as expensive and less likely to kill you.

You guys are missing the obvious answer.

Hey dark1911, here's what you do. Go to a junk yard. Find a diesel truck. Pull off the turbocharger. Make sure it's still good AKA no end play from the shaft. Weld up a cross tube from the exhaust manifolds to come up and mate to the inlet of the turbine side. Now fabricate a downpipe and Y pipe to mate to your existing exhaust running out the back of the truck, or make a new big single pipe. Don't forget to run an oil feed and return line. I'm not sure, but I think the same spot your oil pressure sending unit is will work for oil feed and you may just have to punch a hole in the oil pan for your return. Use Teflon hose for the oiling, rubber no likey oil. Anyway, now you have to make your own intake piping, no big deal. Now go out and run the truck pretty hard and pull up to a dead stop. Get out and take the cigarette and put it against the glowing red turbine side of the turbocharger. Ta-Da! WIN!

The Marine way.

i think the proper way to ask that question would be "learn me: GRM cigarette lighters?". then you're supposed to justify driving a pickup that's bigger than a subcompact car by saying that you bought it out of a moment of rebelliousness..
