Hey, I’ll admit I’m an idiot who’s not the best with the wordy-bits as well, but I also don’t write for a living.

“Starting with a white sheet of paper allowed them to put the occupants on top of the driver just like Tesla did”

Well that’s good to hear, I tracked a standard SLS and bounced it off the limiter because I didn’t shift several hundred rpm before redline.

I have no idea what this is from, but one thing does make sense: the date stamp.

The lesson I learned from this video is...I need a third set of wheels and some Cup 2s to wrap them in.

I’m thinking tail light bulb replacement.

I gladly accept your defiance.

The school is fining its own band $5,000 for a simple formation mistake? Sounds like the band is really getting shafted.

Thank you! While there are innumerable drool-worthy features on the Singer 911s, that finish really caught my eye. While I don’t believe I’ll ever be able to afford one, unfortunately, I’m certainly locking this particular idea away. I’ve had a project in my head for years now, and I think this would really add to it.

Hey now, over the weekend I had to help my girlfriend move back to school, which involved moving a couch. That couch wasn’t fitting in her Civic or my Camaro, and the school is around 170 miles from our hometown, so a rental was prohibitively expensive. I borrowed a friends dad’s truck, and brought it back to him 24…

Oh boy. In my car, I’ve almost always got jumper cables, a tire inflator, gloves, safety glasses, my trusty trunk hoodie, and a breaker bar, plus a sweet little tool bag that holds a hammer, vise grips, zip ties, a tire pressure gauge, a box cutter, bungie cables, a multi-bit screwdriver, a couple beater screwdrivers,…

What finish it that on the bumprette-things? They’re not mirror polished, but they’re not brushed...are they plated with something else?

Good lord, somebody tell that cop to pull the lead weights out of the trunk. I had an Impala of that generation, and it was lowered, and even with subs in the trunk, it didn’t droop that far.

I can get behind this. I need to get something practical eventually, and while I’ve been hypothetically leaning towards the Colorado, a Jeep truck rustles some major jimmies.

One minor, anal revision I’d recommend, the SS models come with Pirelli P-Zero tires, a meh 240 or so UTQC summer tire, whereas the Z/28 runs on Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo Rs, a 60 treadwear rated, barely grooved gumball. The naming scheme doesn’t make it sound like a big difference, but the performance (and tread life) is…

The rear suspension, mostly. ‘12 model year cars got a larger rear bar, different lower control arms that moves the endlink mounting points farther out, giving the bar more leverage. They also gave it a steering wheel designed to be held by human hands in 2012.

We had two of these when I started work with my current company. One of them, a 2006 model, just got sold off because of rust, and the other is so, so gutless, although it is still chugging along at 160,000 miles. We bought a ‘14 Durango a few months ago, and it’s lightyears ahead of the previous generation.

Yeah, I’ve got a 6.2L and six speed. I can appreciate a compact on a back road though, my girlfriend’s 5 speed Civic is a good time too.

Sweet merciful giblets, “only” 4,300 rpm? I turn maybe 2,000 rpm at 80 mph.

It’s really going to come down to road design and terrain. If you’re on a divided highway that doesn’t have at-grade intersections, and the stopping sight distance for the road supports 80 mph, then there’s no reason to not allow it.
