Does this count? It was part of the GRM $2008 challenge. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/reader-rides/7…

A lot of modern diesels have grid heaters (it heats the inlet air for start up) and the grid heaters get hot enough to ignite ether.

I know you mentioned bro-truck but your picture is a tractor trailer so I thought I'd throw this tidbit out: Tractor trailers regularly weigh 60,000lbs-80,000lbs which is 15-20 times the weight of a typical vehicle. Hitting a tractor trailer head on is like hitting a solid wall of your combined speed.

His sentence is grammatically correct. He is referring to our (the commentators) quips about "firing blanks."

About that...

I like how they did the contrasting colors. Some people may consider the combinations gaudy but I honestly like bright contrasting colors.

Very good point. He may have been a better example but after talking with some of the guys that used to race against John Buffum in the 80s and 90s I get the some of the same vibe as the people who think Ken Block is a playboy who crashes racecars.

UGH! That was the one merit badge that took me forever to pass. Don't get me wrong, I was and still am a strong swimmer, but that badge sucked. Being a scrawny tween, the worst part was the floating. For those that don't know, scrawny Tweens don't float in swimming pools.

I guess cheaper than your car is relative. Taking a cab everywhere would (likely, too lazy to run actual numbers) be cheaper than owning a Maybach. However this is really only applicable to people that have the same emotional attachment to their car as they do their microwave.

To top it off there was a huge feature on Jalopnik last December, no mention of that either.

I'll just throw my 2 cents in and say that John Buffum, the most successful American rally driver ever (he even has 2 wins in Group B Audi Quattros), earned the nickname Stuff 'um Buffum for his propensity to crash frequently. Pro level drivers crashing a lot of cars is pretty normal. Also, for some reason, people…

I know. Bad Racescort! Bad! Dumb! *sprays with water bottle*

Hang on, let's not let facts and history get in the way of Jesus's hyperbole.

On second though, never mind I don't care. Fuck these people.

Raimi cam is pretty awesome too. Just a nickname but he uses it as a POV for bullets, fists, projectiles. Not as great in serious movies but a great trick for movies that are fun and entertaining to watch.

I got a chuckle. Kids aren't for everyone.

They actually just had a kid.

That too but all of the Metra trains are regular diesel trains.

I can't say for every major city in the US but I can say with some certainty if you tried this in Chicago you'd be promptly arrested for trespassing and slapped with a $500 fine.

You apparently don't understand how diesels work. Diesels typically run excess air and the exhaust is mostly clear. As you increase the amount of fuel, you start to get more black smoke (and more power) up to the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio for diesel combustion. Anything above that, is just smoke with no more power…
