She got off way too easy.

Additionally, since the intake air does not contain fuel, it isn't a problem with unburned fuel taking the direct route from intake to exhaust, without involvement with power production. Its the fuel that didn't take part in combustion that was the problem they couldn't solve for spark ignition 2 strokes. Also, you…

Oversteer scares the passenger; understeer scares the driver. Either one scares your average dumbass car buyer, though.

Originally, manufacturers switched to FWD for cost and efficiency. The driveline is simpler with FWD, the rear suspension is simpler, and there are no ring and pinion gearsets, which tend to be inefficient. FWD also packages nicely when you're more concerned about trunk size and rear seat space than straight line…

Packaging. With the engine mounted sideways and driving the front wheels, manufactures can use more of the car for interior space and other such.

You really think anyone in the market for a Tesla gives two shits about the price of gas? They could be giving it away and the great majority of Tesla buyers would still buying Teslas.

Maybe that has worked for you but i have never once found that to be true.

May god have mercy on your soul if you watch this terrible train safety video.

IIRC, Ford and the others were working on a spark ignition two stroke using the Orbital stratified charge system. It was turbo or supercharged, using Schnurle loop or deflector piston scavenging. A uniflow or fully valved 2 stroke diesel is quite different in it's basics, and is already in use on large trucks and…

Also exactly this. Sigh.

Maybe he just finished a long journey, and wanted to thank the engine, or just look at it.

essentially a tricked out saturn vue. see i told you guys it was cool.

May Lord have mercy on your soil if this gets cross-posted on Gawker proper.

Thats a Crack Pipe holder actually

Usually, even with my crack pipe votes, I can come to terms at around half of the asking price. $52,500 still feels too high. I think I'm being generous valuing it at around $35k, which is a mere third of the asking price.

For this amount of money, you surely can buy a proper M5 of a younger vintage and have a few go-faster bits attached to it.

It's not that impressive once you realize that four of these can do the same thing.

Not sure if trolling or serious...

I spent two summers working for a moving company in college. For one move we were moving a bunch of stuff down to backwoods Tennessee, I don't know if it was the tail of the dragon we were driving on but where it was it was terrifying. To get through the switchbacks we had to take up both lanes and at one point a SUV…

You've still got to think about the quality of the roadway. At Ehra-Lessien, VW can maintain ideal conditions, while on public roads that the state maintains, the roadways will have imperfections that would throw off high-speed runs.
