2 intake 1 exhaust valve?

It seems like going for the softest place to land would be the wisest decision.

It seems like the shoulder would have been a pretty viable option.

I always used to park my car in the sun when it was cold out and I lived at an apartment. No defrosting, and the car would actually be sorta warm inside.

I was about to say. That guy had his flag out so fast and then actually paid attention and pulled it back in. Great job on his part.

I agree with the COTD. A shit ton of hairpins does not a great road make. Fast corners, elevation, banking, and a lack of cops/grandmas is what really makes a great road. Especially when that lack of cops/grandmas also means a lack of other vehicles, so you don't get 1/4 of the way into the road and then get stuck…

No prob. Now let me get back to replacing the headgasket on my fiance's car.

Enjoy your fuel savings coasting in neutral instead of in gear.. Oh that's right, you can't coast in gear because you're a dumb asshole who can't take being wrong about something so he has to argue semantics of words rather than changing his…

And why again can't you do that in a car with an automatic?

You're just mad that you found out that you don't burn fuel while coasting in gear even though you thought that coasting in neutral saved fuel.

Sorry Bro.

All of that power magically comes from the crank that's spinning while attached to the transmission which also happens to be spinning which strangely is attached through a series of linkages to the wheels which thanks to momentum and friction are also spinning...

You do understand that when the crank turns, the…

When coasting in gear, the wheels turn the axles which turn the transmission which is connected to the crank which turns the .... you get the idea.

That's how it works, there is no fuel used when coasting in gear, injectors should shut off. Mine do, on all of my cars. The 82 volvo and the 11' TDI. The volvo injects a…

Neutral still burns gas that you don't burn in gear. So you are not saving gas by "popping it in neutral", as if that was something that was harder to do with an automatic than a stick.

Those things are fucking expensive.

I'm not really sure what this "Vacation Time" thing is... Can anybody explain this?

Put the loans in forebearance and pay the interest.

I don't even understand what the car was doing.

Do it in a vette. Hell, you can put the damn thing in 4th and turn the same time as you would in 2nd.

Coasting in neutral doesn't save gas. Coasting in gear does. End of newb discussion.

FWIW most transmission tunes can lock that out so it won't automatically shift at redline.

If you had a lot of power, you'd probably be faster just sticking it in 3rd and tooling around. If you've got torque, it doesn't make a damn difference, and you'll probably drive a lot smoother -> faster.

expect mid 60's in the least for decent hybrid performance.

My DSG revmatches downshifts. You don't put a car in neutral to save gas when you go down a hill because the motor is idling and the injectors are on, burning gas. When you leave it in gear and take your foot off the throttle there's nothing being injected as the transmission/wheels are driving the motor. Push come to…
