The electric infrastructure is at a tipping point.  The grid can barely handle the electrical load demand now.  There was a story published yesterday about rolling blackouts in California this summer, largely due to increased EV sales.

The ESPN feed is the British Sky TV feed.  They are the British announcers.

Do a little research before you chime in.  I have a 2008 RS4 that I’ve had for 6 years and 55k miles.  Parts for this a cheaper than parts for my wife’s 2013 Prius ($124 each for sway bar drop links???  Fuck you Toyota!)  I’ve never had a single issue with anything on this car and it has never let me down or left me…

You’re thinking S4. The timing chain guide issue on these (and the first gen R8) are metal. And before you go shitting on these, try owning one. I have a 2008 RS4 that I’ve had for 6 years and 55k miles. I change oil every 5k miles and use only LiquiMoly. The car runs like a dream and has never let me down. It’s,…

How quickly all of you Hamilton-lovers forget...he was exactly the same as Max at the start of his career.  And Hamilton is not without fault this season-I’m thinking specifically about Silverstone where everyone who knows the track has said you don’t try to pass at that turn.  Hamilton over cooked it and Max paid the…

I know at least 4 Prius owners that have well over 200,000 miles on theirs and they still have the original hybrid battery.  My wife just bought a 2013 Prius V with 351,000 on it.  It was a salesman car and the interior is like new.  She had a 2006 Prius that she gave to her daughter last year and hated driving my…

What about Porsche?  Ferdinand Porsche, who created the Beetle, designed and built Tiger tanks during the war.  Are you hating on everything Porsche too?

They really need to add a laughing emoji!  And I assume the “specific circumstances” are down hill with a heavy tail wind.

Watch some of the Youtube videos the makers of the Quickjacks have. The shit they do to them to show how over built they are is amazing. I love the QJs a buddy of mine and I have. We’ve used them on my two Audis (S4 Avant and RS4) my wife’s Prius, my son’s Honda HRV, my buddy’s Toureg and WRX STI and his wife’s Mini…

I can’t stand Stroll! Billionaire daddy has to buy a team so he can play with the big boys. And there’s absolutely no justification to let Perez go and keep Stroll other than daddy. If it weren’t for the fact that Racing Point used Mercedes’ 2019 blueprints to build there 2020 car, Stroll would have had another shit…

The United States government kills a million babies a year?  I think I would have read about that somewhere. 

No we don’t!  At least not any of us petrol heads.  Those were crap then and they’re crap now.  And so is this Laser.  $9,000!  Jesus!!!  Rob should bring Crack Pipe back for shit like this.

But you didn’t see Ford rebranding the Escort as “ET by Bentley” for a reason - because unlike GM, Ford could figure out that no one would be fooled

Great article! And my best friend and I do exactly that...crank the music and work on our cars on weekends together. Fortunately, my wife indulges in my wrenching hobby because 1) she knows I love it and 2) it saves a ton of money, and my buddy’s wife is into cars so, like us, she can afford to own the toys she wants…

I was thinking that for $5,500 you could by one in the UK that was actually built RHD, ship it to the US and still have some cash left.

Mine only made it to 55,000.

1 USD = approx. .75 AD

Second Gen Prius is the same!  Why do they design a car without changing a light bulb in mind???

It’s actually quite simple. yes, it’s driven of the timing chains, but the pump itself is at the front lower right of the engine.  You can easily access it from underneath.  It takes longer to refill and bleed the cooling system than it does to change the pump.
