The idea that Trump is a worse monster than Ted Cruz or John Kasich is laughable. The truth is, all of the Republicans have become monsters, and Trump is perfectly in line with everything they say and do, except support the Kochs.

Trump is in this because he has a beef with the Koch Brothers. Probably over their…

Yeah, plugs was what we had back in the day. But even tuning with an O2 sensor and a carb, you can only optimize your tune for a narrow RPM range. Carbs don’t have sufficiently granular adjustments to offer a broad range tune. You only get three circuits to work with.

To claim that any carbureted engine can match that…

You can get power, or you can get efficiency out of a carb, but you can never get both at the same time. And I’m not so sure you could ever get decent efficiency out of a 4-barrel at anything over 1800 rpm. Even so, efficiency would almost always result in a lean condition (and you’d know this by “reading” the plugs).

I…

I still have a bunch of jets for a Holly 600 CFM 4-barrel carb somewhere in my garage. Despite not having the El Camino or it’s carb they belong to for 30 years.

Damn that thing could suck down the gas. Kids today with their smooth idling DI engines that get more power than I could ever squeeze out of that old 350 SB,…

Right now, I’m not a big fan of the EPA. The EPA forced makers of asthma medications to stop using fluorocarbon propellants. So medications long out of patent and available for $25, suddenly are newly patented and cost over $150, when the only change is to use an inexpensive alternative propellent. And went from…

So, you think Democrats don’t own cars? That’s just a constituency within a constituency within a constituency of the Democratic party.

We do want cars that get better fuel economy, and would like more practical electric cars. Because we know we need cars. Even better if we can get all that, and more power.

As far as…

I don’t think the article explains why the brakes were the exclusive means of stopping the plane. The pilot couldn’t put the flaps down on both wings to create drag because one wing was non-functional. Putting one flap down would try to make the plane spin around. Same for using the reverse thrusters on one side of…

I don’t think I’m unusual, but I might not use my phones as much as you do. Sorry if the Galaxies no longer meet your technical requirements. Hope you find something with swappable batteries that you like.

In two years of owning an S5, I have never swapped the battery. Nor has my wife with her S5. Nor have I actually swapped a battery on any phone I’ve ever owned, dating back to the 90s. Cheap 5500 MaH 2A USB battery banks have made swapping batteries obsolete. And the original batteries on our S5s are still going…

It’s crack pipe all the way, unless you live in an apartment, have to park on the street, and need a vehicle with the footprint of a Ford Fiesta with minivan-like cargo capacity (when you pull the quick removal rear seats). No one has or does make anything that can match it (and we looked when we had a PTC and still…

You don’t always have to pretend you’re riding Laguna Seca every time you get on your bike.

Didn’t Chrysler, BMW and GM come up with a transmision that made any car it was bolted onto a hybrid, like 10 years ago?

That’s a very serious claim. Obstruction of justice carries far worse penalties than violating environmental laws. No one ever goes to jail for violating an environmental law, but people go to prison for OOJ.

I could see building a copper laden skatepark. Not as expensive as you might think, but keeping it there might be challenging. Someone is going to build the first “Hoverboard Skatepark”.

I’ll have to wait for someone else to try it in a rainier climate than SoCal and review it. I’ve ridden hundreds of miles in solid rain in a day, and wiped by shield with a thumb squeegie. Or goggles. I’ve always wondered why some entrepreneureal person didn’t make something like this.

I’m guessing the issue is allergies specific to SLS. There are a lot of other surfactants that can be used.

Why isn’t he the new Top Gear host?

As a business, I’m sure Subaru understands your concerns. Also as a business, Subaru is selling cars at record numbers in the US, so they must be doing something right.

The Legacy is one of those cars you recommend to non-enthusiasts. The people who question your sanity when you buy a stick in this modern age. They’re AWD, but it doesn’t cost you much in fuel economy if anything. 36 mpg from a 2.5L engine is respectable from a FWD car.

I bought that Anker speaker last time it was on sale for $30. At $30, it’s a great buy. Super solid metal construction, decent sound (but a little thin on bass, but expected considering the size), battery lasts all day. At its MSRP of $79, it’s a bit of a ripoff :)

We were traveling last week, and used it as a hands…
