My Alfa is still worth $56k (from $60k) for trade in. I feel like that’s not too bad. I ran the same thing on a Corvette and it lost almost $10k. Also, a quick search of autotrader shows nothing less than $60k for the 4C still.

The article is on carbon emissions while VW was cheating on NOx and particulate emissions. If anything, cheating on NOx would improve your carbon footprint albeit at the expense of another pollutant.

Good thing the earth rotates counterclockwise and goes around the sun counterclockwise.

Basically all of my car control skill I learned rally racing a FWD car. It made it interesting the first time I took my Alfa 4C to the track. It's worth nothing that the traction control was not happy with LFB. Now that I'm more confident that I won't be putting it into the wall, that's coming off next time.

The panel gaps are one thing. I mean, for a car that’s more or less hand built, it seems like the panels should line up better but I can speak specifically to the deck lid. Your friend isn’t closing his deck lid. The plunger that senses the lid being opened has too strong of a spring/binds a little and keeps the lid…

I have a 4C and I love it. There is one thing that Doug doesn’t mention in his column though, the paint. The paint looks gorgeous but it’s basically nail polish. It chips super easily and the white SMC underneath sticks out like a sore thumb.

I have a 4C and my buddies that are 6'2" complain about sitting in the passenger seat. I’m 5'10" but I like sitting close to the steering wheel so I have to move the seat up.

Raccoon girl makes another appearance.

I bought one, it’s awesome. I ran into Patrick and Ballaban at the Kart 2 Kart event on Saturday and we talked a bit about it. I may write an article on oppo about my buying experience but there are a few things I have to say about it. Don’t expect to be able to order one, they don’t have an ordering system. Don’t…

The Alfa.

Excellent article Torch. It’s also worth noting that Audi (then Auto Union) also has an unusual sorted history probably worth its own article that has a large amount of history with the Nazi party. Also Porsche and awesome GP cars.

A couple of things:

In case anyone was wondering, I actually did some math to figure out how much fuel New Horizons would need to orbit Pluto: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/why-new-horizo…

I like your spirit but that’s not really how planetary transfer works. The distance between Earth and Mars is constantly changing since they’re in different orbits. When you go from one to another, you don’t go straight there, you change your orbit from a (roughly) circular orbit to an elliptical one that intersects…

I always thought this was the most sensible way to dress.

It depends on the type of explosive. TNT was common in WWI and WWII but they were starting to experiment with other explosives by then. According to Wiki, most small (<=2,000lbs) bombs use an explosive called Tritonal which is a mixture of TNT and aluminum powder. The daisy cutter is listed as using aluminum nitrate…

To be fair Stef, the hoods are like 4 plies of carbon fiber now rather than actual OEM hoods.
