Counterpoint: 6 gears would be the correct number if interstate highways were posted at 85 like they should be.

Oh god

And what about every other person who ever restored a race car with a livery on it? They’ve never had that on a TV show or YouTube EVER right?

Wow Internet trolls really don’t appreciate good filmography do they.

He Owns it because THEY sold it. He isn’t infringing, they fucked up.

Fuck this. The sun JUST started coming through my window early enough that I wake up peacefully without my alarm in the morning. Now my sleep scheduled is going to get ALL KINDS of fucked for the next couple of weeks.

10 bucks says it only has “more”grip with heavier than average vehicles. They are using the increased contact pressure to get grip but overall used a stiffer compound with more reinforcement.

Can’t fix stupid.

Big heavy components and long stroke means very high friction from the high piston speed required and heavy components that don’t want to change direction.

Maybe if they had put the engine in the correct spot for this latest version it would have worked out better.

No, My point was that by far and away the vast majority of Highway and other roads that could easily handle higher speeds are underposted in an effort to collect revenue.

CRFP, it’s fancy plastic

Soooo CRFP otherwise known as plastic lol. I mean it is Carbon fiber reinforced, probably short strand. But not the multi layer carbon fiber racecars use. Think more of the stuff BMW was using in the i3 so they could recycle waste from the i8 chassis manufacturing.

My point still stands.

Lot’s of places just straight up ignore the 85th percentile. You should do a journalistic piece on why the interstate highways [built to federal standards requiring design speeds in excess of 75 mph] Are all 65mph or lower east of the Mississippi.

I commute on a bike. I have boots that sacrifice a little protection so that I can walk in them. Jacket, gloves, and helmet are all fast to get on and off. The pants don’t go on unless I am traveling at least 45 min away and will have time to get out of them. Kevlar jeans are something I will probably get when I have…

I generally advise people not to attempt to strong arm a tank slapper. [pretty sure that’s what happened here]

That is were the second half of my comment comes into play lol. You live in a place that is actively hostile to car ownership at all.

Curbside. I have no garage and do all of my work in a driveway. I have done work in the street and honestly a tire swap is totally something I would do in the street. But Honestly you live in a city that hates cars and discourages car ownership with extreme prejudice. I live close enough to New York city to have been…

Learning the limitations of the tools you have. There are two reasons you may not be able to complete a job on a car.
