Nope, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. The modern stock diesels are detuned for low end torque for transmission durability and are capable of making more torque than a GDI could ever dream of. The diesel’s direct injection systems are so far advance compared to the GDI, 30,000 to 50,000 injection pressure combined with up…

And yes, I could do better.

I have a really understanding wife. And my shop is connected to my office, so I sneak down there at lunch :)

“No ro barras!!!”

Nope, it will stay moving with the engine at idle speed, unless the resistance of moving the exceeds the power output of the engine. With gearing that low, that just doesn’t happen.

well in defense... what the hell was the cop doing just sitting there? Waiting on an invitation?! I feel the road rage just watching that... GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Yeah, I mean don’t go around them, but there really wasn’t any need for the cop to be stopped there, they have a lane in front of them, so pull into it, and merge at speed rather than trying to do it from a stop.

$700 in one visit? I’ve put a lot more time and effort into things for much less money, including going to work.

That’s interesting. My F-150 with the exact same engine has a 12,000lb (5443.1084 kg, to be exact) towing capacity. But what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m just an idiot who keeps clicking on garbage clickbait from Jason Torchinsky. Enjoy all that ad revenue you’re getting from my ad-blocker.

go back to jezebel and stop clicking links to stories on this site.

I think you accidentally clicked the wrong “J” in the main menu up top.

Yes, because the only reason men buy cars we don’t strictly need for basic transportation is to increase our dick size *rolls eyes*

Why the fuck are you on this site?

Heaven forbid people buy trucks because they like trucks. And most of those people are MEN! Ewww! Men suck, amiright???

You see Raptors out in the desert in SoCal all the time. I think people use them a lot more than they are given credit for. How often do you go off roading? Of course you see them on the freeway all the time is that’s the only place you drive.

(And this is coming from a Chevy fan)

We don’t need any performance cars, either. How many are actually driven on a track?

I think that is a gross simplification and mostly likely, utterly false.

Yeah but let’s talk about the panel gaps

I suspect designing a vehicle to survive strikes from larger vehicles requires a certain level of willingness to deform aggressively. Sucks that your car gets totalled from a small crash, but it may save your life in a large one. Like those old 70s cars that were structurally strong for low speed impacts but kill you…
