This is a most terrible and inopportune time to not have money.
Having a mechanical connection between your foot and the lungs of your engine is possibly the most satisfying of automotive experience. I will always have at least one carburetor-fed engine in my stable.
What do you mean I have to pump the gas before turning the key?
Uncle Red shows us in simpler terms how carbs work.
Carburetors aren’t just obsolete, they’re about two tech generations behind today’s direct injection. But they are…
Please, please, please have a defeat system installed. I do not want my car slamming the brakes at Watkins Glen or on an autocross course when I decide to deep brake a corner and it sees a fucking cone in my way.

Refineries use vast amounts of electricity, and I can’t imagine they get it from a cleaner source than EVs do. You can’t count only tailpipe emissions for ICE…
Do their calculations also factor in the emissions in the petroleum production, refinement, and distribution processes?
If you’re going for the political joke, then why not admit it: She's a massive Bush supporter.
I call it “Facebook Meme Politics”. Intentionally or not, Trump sums up his ideas into bites that can fit onto a meme and posted on your mother-in-law or uncle’s Facebook timeline.
