I’m Dr Josef Heiter, retired, but still very well known as the leading engineer in separating Siamesed engine blocks. Six months ago, I designed a never seen operation, not separating any more but creating. I transformed my three Volvo 240s into a beautiful three wagon construction. Good news, your frame gauges match.…

Wait until you try to walk and chew gum.

Listen, there was NO power boost on the clutch, ok? Just accept it. All the torque goes straight to the power band.

In my experience of teaching manual, I’ve found it a non-starter trying to have them roll onto the gas. It’s like asking them to pat their head while rubbing their belly; You can’t perform two opposite maneuvers simultaneously unless it’s already muscle memory.

I was suprised he told her to press the gas before letting any clutch out. With the torque of the Viper that is really just wearing out the clutch faster than it should. Even on a honda civic 1.7 liter I would always tell someone to let out clutch until you feel it grabbing before you give any gas.

“I learned to drive stick on a tractor like ‘80s Volvo station wagon.”

As long as the clutch/flywheel combo isn’t a fickle bitch, it is arguably easier to learn on a torquey car since you don’t have to give any throttle to start rolling.

Here’s what I hope he gets instead of that second place trophy:

How about this eraser thing people use on skateboards

They have it as a PDF now so the driver can read it on their phone while running red lights.

I don’t know. That would require the “driver” to actually open that door where I keep my napkins and see what that thick wad of papers is all about.

Near as i can tell, each generation of the venerable Lexus RX crossover comes with a booklet entitled, “ How to Do Absolutely Everything Wrong At All Times.”

Worst.

Coming from a POS 2005 Nissan Altima, I test-drove and bought a certified 2013 Honda Civic Si sedan this summer. Love the peppy engine and fun handling, not to mention the fact it’s still roomy enough inside for 4 people, and I get over 30 mpg highway. Then yesterday morning I walked out to my parking garage to find…

1987 Countach..... I’ve never known heartbreak like the kind that car delivered to me. It was miserable... utterly one of the worst cars I have ever driven, possibly THE worst... and I’ve driven a 1993 Corolla with over 300,000 miles that had almost no maintenance and floormats made of (I am NOT joking) smashed-flat…

Can someone help me find my dream car?

The Briggs & Stratton purist in me says that a six-wheeled Briggs & Stratton has one too many wheels.

Oh man, when that dude ran out to start pulling on the strap while the BP truck was still on the gas. That’s enough to make me want to scream at the monitor. Never never NEVER run between a pull with a rope, strap or cable under tension. I didn’t even notice it was attached to the ball hitch. Yeeks! Glad nobody died...
