I was being facetious. Though it would make for a car that required less upgrading out of the box in some circumstances, I think it was a smart move and an easy weight loss target!

Following that line of thought, I request the next Miata be made with three wheels to reduce the amount of work I have to do to swap sets in the paddock.

I agree with almost everything you've said. I am, however, concerned that they seemingly can't just get a tail count of what's sitting on the tarmac via satellite and match it against their chart, insinuating that some birds are either scattered at other airports or have been physically moved.

"This is where the live axle would go if it weren't some namby-pamby pinkie in the air sports car with the engine out of my home generator.

I'm picturing an alternate reality of Fast and Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds blended into a world where he boosts this and brings it back to Dom to show him his sick skills, but they find out it's packed with coke and now they have to dump it.

I'd have to say that 99% of execution videos I've ever seen have nothing but AK-47's and AK-74's, buddy.

*Laughs way harder than he should have*

Is it bad that all I can think of is "YOUR CAPE IS GOING TO GET TANGLED IN THE WHEEL AND KILL YOU!"

Chevy has confirmed a polished stainless straight axle frontend will be available in the Stage 3 package. The options for the Stage 4 package haven't been announced, but will likely include more clever additions that completely ignore the meaning of the word 'Rally'

One of the conditions of Ukraine handing over their nuclear stockpile in the 90's was precisely that we DO get involved if Russia invades. While there is no good course for us to follow, if thw situation escalates we have an obligation to step in at some point, or we'll have a much harder time convincing the next…

Must be nice having enough time doing not-work things and planning out how to be not-rich to make snide comments on an article about a pioneering woman living her life to the fullest.

You missed my winky face. Here it is again:

That's what I get for not reading the author tag close enough! My apologies to have sullied your good name in connection with such a car.

Perhaps, as a person who drives a Beetle and constantly wishes to be less outclassed by other cars on the road, this topic is of interest to you. To the rest of the world, the answer to this question is: Zero. Zero cars would be better with less power.

True, although the 5.8L trinity motor actually was tooled up on a production line. I'm actually pretty impressed that Chrysler was able to pull these numbers out of the hat- other than the Viper, they have a horrid track record for enthusiast cars.

I believe 'production' and 'v8' are the key words here. The other cars listed in your reply and others to you are either:

If I recall, they ignored every attempt from the Vincennes to hail them, and the Vincennes was being swarmed by fast attack boats. Not an excuse, but different circumstances for sure than a bunch of retard rebels launching SA-6 missiles at the first radar blip they see after they figure out how to turn the screen on

I want to go there. So badly do I want to go there

I agree with you. That nonsense comes from the mouths of people who have never even driven a car with manual steering. A sudden loss of power steering and a change in steering effort during the split second you have to react is difficult for even the most experienced driver to compensate for.

The fact that this key off/airbag off issue existed to begin with is baffling. Wouldn't the simple solution be to engineer in (during development) a time delay relay that allowed the airbags to still operate for several seconds immediately following an ignition shutoff? This would head off several potential…
