That's exactly why my Dad ended up with a full-size pickup(f-150) because the price and fuel economy difference between that and the smaller pickups was too small.

That's of course, for safety, since people still think of the phrase "Oh, the humanity" when you mention hydrogen, and the idea of a 10,000 PSI tank right under your kids' asses is nervy to many. Still, they've done exhaustive crash tests, and the incredibly thick steel walls and kevlar wrappings of the tanks have…

never claimed my experience was at anything else than slow speed. You can throw theoreticals out there as much as you want but reality involves so many other variables to the whole physics equasion that results may vary a lot.

Reliable in so long as they corrected the weak sway bar bushings from the current gen and the water pump on the V6 that likes to ebola itself at the 75000km mark. Thankfully the former was easily addressed with aftermarket parts. Otherwise I seriously have no complaints about my 2012 Mustang V6. In fact the solid rear…

Ride along with me next winter. Actually I'll try to get my go pro strapped on and repeat the process on purpose and upload it here.. These aren't high speed turns but just turning a corner. I should have specified. I have better things to do with my time than to claim stuff I can't actually do.

Here's my use of the e-brake: correct straight-line plowing when I'm trying to turn(and subsequently take said turn a little too fast) during a massive snowstorm up here in Canada. Specifically driving a FWD car. I've done it a few times in my now-gone Honda Fit and it's current replacement, the Mazda3. Definitely a…

Agreed! And nice choice! The top one is filled with kids and fartcanned cars with more bark than bite or rookies looking to get caught either smoking weed or "fogging up the windows" because they don't bother looking for better spots anyways so it means those other spots and lookouts are usually quiet.

@tokyoBayAquaLine author of number 3. Was that at Gatineau Park by any chance? Possibly at one of it's many lookouts?

Flamesuit is on: I've driven a 2013 GTI and honestly could not grasp what all the hype was all about with this car. It's not amazing at anything and definitely not at being fun. I drove it hard and... I was bored out of my mind. There's no drama, no excitement, no personality and no soul. It didn't even feel as fast…

I'd say Yamaha does it right with their Waverunner family of personal watercraft. My 180hp Yamaha VXR has two modes. Low-RPM mode which is great for the break-in, beginners and for saving fuel because it limits maximum RPM to about 5500ish and neuters the throttle so that it's less intense in throttle response (It has…

Crazy indeed. Gotta add that my car was actually an ice breaker for my current relationship of over two years. Also in your defense, you seem decently knowledgeable with regards to cars, more so at least than a lot of people I know so, kudos!

Don't beat yourself up over it. Though I admit I made none of the typical newbie mistakes on my first time ever at the strip, my driving was poor. 14.5 average with a best of 14.3@98mph in july 2012. And a god-aweful one second reaction time.

If the team wants to sound bad-ass I say Washington Honey-Badgers.

Well if I win the lotto this weekend, I promise to grab my 2012 V6 Mustang and give it the same treatment. I'll even do a Build Thread on Opposite Lock and a Mustang Forum that documents the whole process. Current baseline is 13.88 @ 102mph so that should be interesting!

Finally some common sense!

I'm keeping that one for future reference!

Hah! Fair point regardless even though you agree.

This. The rear visibility out back my 2014 mazda3 is atrocious. I'm glad I have that feature in there and my dad's billion foot long 2010 f-150. And this is coming from someone who never had issues in the past backing up without one.

The way temperature affects various compounds is good enough in my book to use different tires for different seasons. rubber compounds to weaken and lose their intended properties a LOT faster when they operate in temperature ranges outside of their intended design. Especially if this causes wild temperature…

That's exactly what I was thinking while watching the video. Also that I have still much to learn in regards to proper racing lines.
