My high school vehicle was a 1997 F-150. Single cab, short bed, with 4.10 gears and the 5.4. With full exhaust and a tune, it ran and sounded great, and surprised a lot of LT1 F bodies and 2 valve mustangs. My parents still have it, and it's running just about like new with 280k on it, 80k of those being hard, hard 16…

it's some sort of weird dodge stratus.

Anytime anyone tries hard to sell you something, you should be on guard that you don't need it.

As I recall, Mobil 1 was one of the last brands to give in to the 'our competitors are cheating, and nobody seems to care, so let's switch' mindset, not the first

I don't understand why Mr. Butthurt in Oregon thinks CarFax should have to give money to someone for a problem that's entirely CAPTCHA's doing, and probably a computer-generated accident at that.

According to the service manager at Exotic Skittles:

The oil filter.

It is easy. Stop having such high standards.

What did people do before o-rings!? It occurs to me that I find the thought unimaginable; o-rings most certainly have been around since the origins of time, having sprung up in various sizes from interactions after the Big Bang.

Steel:

That's a Lada inaccuracies...

To be fair, even car enthusiasts know nada about Lada.

Since the gearbox was replaced by a hydraulic clutch, the three lightweight electric motors and a 9 kWh battery pack, Koenigsegg says they saved about 440 pounds compared to having a double clutch gearbox.

Do you know anything about vehicle dynamics? Damping is not as simple as you make it out to be.

I agree...the current system actually leverages waste heat, whereas electric heaters create an increased energy demand. Electric heating isn't, when used in a ground vehicle, efficient with energy conversion efficiency typically in the 20-30% range...

Missiles with actual rocket motors (SAMs, AAMs, ICBMs) usually burn their entire motor out in an initial boost phase, and then glide to the target. Propelling a shell from a gun is a similar boost-glide process, but the boost is more efficient because it is contained inside the barrel of the gun.

Why buy an Infiniti Q50 Hybrid when you could have a blood-stained salvage Hellcat for less?

So, according to this, the lack of cooling and the crude not-carb were advantages, since they allowed for some sort of vaporization inside the cylinder itself, and somehow the "mingling current of electricity" uses magic to keep the cylinder working temperature low, somehow? Sure, to modern eyes, ones that have been…
