Yep, I’ve wondered about the uneven wear aspect as well. As far as getting rid of start stop if the projected time is less than 10 seconds, that’s pretty innovative on your part (and potentially patent-able). It would work best if:

Not trying to throw gasoline on the fire, but an LS in a 944 body sounds to me like heaven. Fast, light, great-handling.

🤣

Underrated comment.

Are there any engines that are reliable that have cylinder deactivation?

So... what was the 1/4 mile time? Maybe add an air intake, an exhaust, and stickers to make it faster.

If we have to say it once, we have to say it 1000 times: If you’re going to steal a car, joyride with your friends, then do donuts, take it to the track! That way, you’re less likely to have a cop bust a cap in yo’ ass.

I think Honda should bring back the Prelude name.

You know why I don’t drive a stick? Because I ride the clutch a bit too much trying to make shifting smooth and wear out the throw-out bearing. Besides, the car can shift faster than I ever could.

Don’t think that’s a Stinger.

Crashes notwithstanding, it still wouldn’t be the most famous ruckus at O’Hare at gate C-17.

Didn’t some older 911s hide the trip odometer reset in an air vent or something?

Just look at it this way: you’ll get a lot of middle-aged men jockeying to check you out until they realize: you’re not some co-ed (well, unless you happen to be some co-ed).

Know what my takeaway from this is?  Don’t spend a dime at Tomball Ford.

Reinforcing your point about Americans loving big, roomy, vehicles, this wouldn’t be the first time that American road vehicles have been that big. The “225" in moniker “Buick Elektra 225" derived from the fact that it was 225 inches long, and many cars from the 60s or 70s exceeded that length (Cadillac 1976 Coupe…

Good grief no. I took my driving test on the Buick equivalent of this. Definitely malaise-era engineering, though, ironically, much better than the Ford Granada.

lol that would have been the prudent thing to do. But alas, I didn’t. I reached a point when they’d been in the trunk of my car for like a month and I finally said to myself, “I’m sick of this in my trunk!”
