Fuck diesel is the only thing I have to say... It’s not enough that it’s boring as hell to drive (and no, “torque” with low RPM and no power is NOT fun), but it also had to pollute...

It’s not about financially supporting your employer. It’s about perspective. Ford didn’t pay for your housing and education, your father did. I’ve worked for dealers that told me I’d be fired if I bought a vehicle from a competitor. So far none have ever put their money where their mouth is on that one. This whole…

I would catch it. My reflexes are too fast.

Turbo lag, boaty handling, old man looks.......Yet that black just sets it all off. And even in T-type form, there’s just something gleeful about being behind the wheel of one. Not so…
Miata’s can suck it

So was project A119 the impetus for Chairface Chippendale ?
a loose chain won’t come off if the drive-gear is straight and unworn because the side-to-side tension of the chain will keep it straight. On top of that, the end of your bar has a bit of a flare to be sure the chain stays in place. That chainsaw is pretty worn and not well-maintained.

Such a sad question.
