I first learned how to drive a manual while driving on the farm lane between my aunt and uncle's house and my grandparent's house. I was 10 years old and in a 1992 Ford Ranger. 3.0V6, short bed, supercab, 2wd. It was relatively easy because if I let out the clutch too abruptly it would just spin the tires because…

I rode in their test car. Fantastic.

I read reports that they used a new monocoque.

So they just built a new car and put number 1 on it.
Biblical? Ark? Fuck religion.
Incredible flood, but fuck religion.
"faster burns"? Care to elaborate?
The Europeans prioritized things differently than we did here in the United States. In Europe they focused on things that mattered most to the consumer at the time the laws were written: fuel prices (lower CO2 mandates) and Sulfur emissions from diesels (primary cause of acid rain that destroyed large swaths of…
honestly I do not think this will affect emissions that much. You are moving at such a low speed tahat the difference in air resistence will be negligable. This, coupled with the fact that engines are designed to run cleanest when they are doing their jobs under load, means that being close to idle will just…
Surprised rotary owners weren't on the list.
I haven't experienced the "tearing through batteries" issue with GPS units. I had a different Sony P&S for a little while (tiny sensor, huge 30x optical zoom lens) that it didn't affect the battery life noticeably. The early ones probably did, but not with the new, low-power GPS chips. That, and with DSLR's you can…
You can get it on many lower-end cameras, but when you're looking for a compact P&S that has a good lens and a big sensor, the only way to do it is with a janky phone app or a gps unit and post-processing with a computer. I was really hoping that this year's update to the RX100 would include geotagging, but alas it…
They didn't add the one feature I really wanted: geotagging. :sigh:
One of my dad's good friends lost his clutch leg in a motorcycle accident when he had a Z06 on order. He had to cancel his order and get an automagic C6. That is the only reason to ever purchase an automagic corvette.
Anything based on the 'J' platform. Growing up we had a 1995 Sunfire and a 2001 Sunfire. Both were complete piles.
I'm 6'4 with a long torso and I have never fit comfortably in a Miata with the top down. The drive is amazing, however the risk of head injury in a roll-over is just too much for me (line-of-sight was always above the windshield, so much so that looking at the windshield frame my LOS is at the same angle as the…
Paint durability? Glass durability?
Yep, fuck AWD. I don't want the extra weight. Give it to me diesel, manual, white, no sunroof, tinted. TYVM.
^Like I said before, many cyclists have complexes. And please don't lump cyclists in with fixie-riding douchebags. They're not cyclists, they're out there because it's what the cool kids are doing.
#1: You must obey traffic laws or else drivers won't respect you. It's not about the safety of rolling the sign you're at, it's the anger and resentment that gets built up in drivers by watching you ignore the stop sign. It's a sign of arrogance, and you're putting every cyclist in danger by not spending an extra 2…
