Litterally every single “diesel bro” I’ve talked to that enjoys rolling coal brags about smoking out people walking on the street, bicyclists, convertibles, people with the windows down. It IS harassment.

Tesla has a lot of learning to do. There’s a big reason why major automakers are no longer vertically integrated monsters that make every single component of their vehicles in house. There’s a reason why they don’t have 40 different platforms for each vehicle. It just isn’t sustainable.

It’s because Nintendo corporate seemingly hates their fans. Nintendo constantly and consistently craps all over their fans when they try to do something fun, unique and creative with their products.

Inline 6 engines do not inherently generate more torque than any other engine. Inherent balance doesn’t mean much in terms of overall NVH either.

I’ll just go ahead and say it: as of right now, an electric pickup is a waste of time if you actually want any kind of range and haul heavy.

I love that the brake rotors on this thing are bigger than the wheels on my truck.

The only E-Class bits on the old 300/Charger/Challenger were the suspension, transmission and steering column bits. The chassis itself was all Chrysler - derived from their LH platform. The current Challenger doesn’t share a single component with the E-Class. The body/chassis is completely different (which wasn’t even…

A boring, quiet electric car (albeit a quick one) makes a loud, raucous supercharged V8 boring?

Grand Cherokee and Cherokee sell as much as the Wrangler

It’s an Inline OHC motor, all the bolts you need to get to are up high and will likely come out just fine.

FZJ80s have poor headgaskets that do blow for no reason.

Engine doesn’t have to come out for headgasket.

It’s not just new powertrains, it’s also new cars and the variety of powertrains they have. Just because a motor is clean in one car, doesn’t mean it is in another. It can take months of work and testing to get a vehicle certified.

Modern cars are far cleaner, and modern emissions targets are not impossible to meet. Many modern gasoline engines don’t even have EGR anymore.

The NOx problem isn’t a byproduct of CO2 regulations. Diesel engines have always had high NOx, from the very beginning. Orders of magnitude higher than comparable gasoline engines. Thats why even big heavy trucks which generally aren’t constrained by CO2 limits still had high NOx.

If you want to paint your house throw up yellow, go right ahead. Why would I care?

What gives you the right to determine what’s an eyesore and what’s not? Are you going to decide what color I can paint my house, or how my lawn should be landscaped too?

More than one person in my town has an M35 parked in their driveway. Doesn’t seem to bother me or anyone else one bit.

Internal slave cylinders are super common across many manufacturers.

That doesn’t look like any Cologne I’ve ever seen. The 2.9 thermostat is really straight forward to get to on the old Rangers, and it’s not even bad to get to on the 4.0 versions either.
