I like to sit up high in the vehicle I’m in, but I like a low vehicle. I drive a BRZ, but I have the seat cranked up all the way. I like the better visibility it gives me nearer the car (not over other cars, but over my own car’s bits.)

...yes? It’s a proper wagon, which means probably roomier inside, and it can ride at car-like height which means much better handling. It sounds like you’re going out of your way to lump this into the crossover category just so you can hate on it. This is just an Audi A6 Avant with some plastic cladding, and fancy air…
Haha, back when I drove it was just New Flyers. I've driven a Nova too, though!
1. Modern keyless entry/push start vehicles have an array of sensors that detect the location of the key in the car. Generally speaking (and in my own personal experience) they are pretty good at preventing you from being an idiot and locking your keys in your car. Sure, you can probably fool them in specific…
This truck’s cockpit is good enough...
Spoken like a truly intelligent, and educated person ;)
Your comment doesn’t make much sense in the context of what is attempting to be accomplished here. The goal isn’t to ban cars trying to go from 14th Street, to... your grandparent’s house 45 minutes outside the city. The goal is to ban cars trying to go from 14th street to... further down on 14th street.
It’s…
Ahhh, well then it sounds like in her case it would definitely count. I missed that when reading this post. That bodes well for her record!
Now, what if she (or anyone else) crashed on their second run after attaining max speed? Would you still think it counted, or would that be “cheating” so to speak?
I respect the hell out of Jessi Combs, I think she was an amazing woman, I hold nothing against her whatsoever, and I think she totally deserves that record. I just want to say that up front so that I can ask this question without people, hopefully, immediately jumping down my throat. I’m only asking because I’m not pe…
60-foot articulated buses. They are a lot of fun to drive, and also very weird. Oddly silent because the engine is ALLL the way at the back. There is also a strange rubber-band effect when you accelerate due to it being REAR wheel drive, with an articulated joint in the middle.
Fun fact: 60-foot articulated buses can…
Not sure what you mean by power adders not resolving the torque dip. You can eliminate the torque dip with JUST a header and tune. Hell, just a tune alone can more or less eliminate it as well. It’s not an engine characteristic so much as a shitty tuning decision meant to give the car good mileage (which is dumb.) My…
It took me a moment to out my finger on it, but I think I know WHY it’s so appealing. It’s for the same reason I like my off-center license plate. When these things are centered, they add symmetry, which is nice, but they also tend to look more like a part of the car. This is truer for license plates than for badges,…
So you’re saying Bugatti thinks the Chiron could actually have gone 620 MPH?
You’ve lost me. This costs many, MANY tens of thousands more, and has less range. Is it better? Probably... but for the price difference, it had damned well better be...
That’s not the argument. Of course it’s terrible on-road. The whole concept behind the Jeep is that you live with the terribleness on-road so that you can have a good experience off-road. And before you say, “Well the other two are good on road, remember that the other two cost a LOT more, and that money pays for…
Why were you expecting to “get it” when you never planned to take it off road? That’s like attempting to “get” a Subaru BRZ by commuting to work on the highway in one, or like trying to “get” a Minivan by just driving around for an hour without an entire family in the back. Your test makes zero sense.
That’s because BMWs don’t speed; they just weave in and out of traffic like fucking assholes.
Let’s keep quieting down those cars, while continuing to allow all these Harley assholes to deafen everyone withing a 5-mile-radius all in the name of “safety.”
As much as I’m all for talking shit when people fuck something up, I felt nothing other than genuinely sorry for his pit crew when he suddenly showed up in his pit-box out of nowhere with a destroyed front wing. Those poor guys were scrambling, and it was clear that none of them had any idea what had happened.
Im not questioning replacing them. I'm questioning replacing them... and then growing the fleet size. There are only ~60 B1s in active service, and only a handful of B2s. Does America really need this many bombers... at 2/3 of a billion dollars apiece?
