My 1 liter Fiesta will hit 56 mpg is I go 70 with the air off. We’re pretty much there.

I think you’re really confused to his intent here. Do you think he did not realize what he was doing? If he wanted an American GT car he would have put a modern LS or similar aluminum blocked V8, fit the hood and been ready to go.

Military law and corporate law are very separate things, equating them does nothing but devalue your argument. You’re comparing applies and oranges.

Do you work in automotive? Have you worked for Volkswagen in an engineering role? Do you work in vehicle calibration?

If the answer is no to any of those you’re in zero…

Plywood really?

All that work and they kludge this?

He also squandered all of the Pontiac firemans retirement fund they invested in his idea for a garagable pop up camper.

I think you’re reading into this wayy too much. He is saying he is not aware he did anything wrong but is resigning in the best interest of the company.

It’s always possible there is some law or rule he unknowingly broke as is the case for anyone.

If I asked you “Have you committed any crimes?” Would you say “No.” or…

Cruise control is not an option?

The Fiesta ST is good but the Fiesta 1 liter is better. Even in stock 125 hp form it’s a hoot. With a light tune it’s very special. The long ratio gearbox is the only downside.

I average around 36 in the city, going 80 with the A/C on it’s around 45. With the A/C off going 70 I’ve reached 56 mpg as measured at the gas…

I don’t think that’s ever occurred previously.

You’re making shit up my friend.

That math does not add up.

Not just lower economy, the EPA tune puts significantly more load on the emissions system. I bet you’re going to see a ton of very expensive DPF failures.

If it’s not a full auto machine gun it’s not an assault rifle. Got it?

Can’t be worse than my VW Fox.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That’s at the crank, now you’ve got some serious gear reduction. They can run at WOT moving 1.2 mph.

You’re going to have to either by AR plate ($$$) or run some serious 1/2 inch plus standard structural steel (A36). Major calipers like .308 can get through otherwise with ease.

If you care about security you use a Pelican case.

You don’t carry expensive equipment. I check about 8k worth of stuff in a Pelican case. My 15k Oscilloscope is my carry on.

Reach a bit and think about this applies to other people, not just yourself.
