Most cheap jumper cables have the wires connected directly to the clamps. Better wires isolate the clamps from the wires and the wires are connected to the clamps only at the jaw area of the clamps.. And those jaws are isolated from the clamps themselves.

Not sure how the recipe for this racecar wouldn’t make any car “incredible.”

At highway speeds mass makes little difference to fuel efficiency. It’s greatest impact is at low speed, especially when accelerating.

The person who says “all lives matter” should be challenged to say “black lives matter.” If they can’t, or more likely, WON’T, then you ask them “how can all lives matter if you can’t even acknowledge that black lives matter.”

And there’ll be a subset of people who WANT the GW because its NOT a Range Rover, Escalade, GLS or X7.

The real question is why people buy $100000 Escalades (I just built and priced a ~$123000 model.) when their base vehicle, the Tahoe, is half that price. (base model $52000.)
And the vehicle the Tahoe is largely based on, the Silverado, can be had for $29200.

The old Wagoneer’s styling could be called “functional” at best. It was hardly a paragon of styling bueaty.

Have you done a proper coolant flush? My car (old 1995 E320 Mercedes Benz with 23XXXX miles) is starting to see higher temperatures in the cooling system when stopped (with the AC on) or climbing long uphills. Similar to yours.
Consensus on the Benz forums is to do the citric acid flush (there’s even a Mercedes part…

If not the 5.2.

This car, and every old car, should be judged through the lens of automotive performance in the era in which it was made.

Those 80s/ 90s Japanese cars are nigh on indestructable, as long as they are maintained.

The diff doesn’t move around on IFS vehicles either, so you know where the diff is going to be.

If you leave at 3 AM and stop for breakfast at 10AM, you’ve already got 7 hours travelling behind you, and still have a lot of light in the rest of the day.

You’re probably not black, there is that.

The company doing the testing has it’s own reputation on the line if they fudge the numbers.

Ewww! No. No in every single language and several made up ones!

Oh yes. They could even use the Africa Twin’s parallel 1100cc motor, though they’d have to change the firing order from the 270* crank they use right now to the smoother 180* crank of something like the CB500X.

Whats the mass of the small efficient car and tell us the frontal areas of both vehicles too please. What can you tell us about long rides in slow traffic with extremely hot weather?

Wrong. The Honda Accord and CRV hybrids DO use a transmission. It’s an electronically controlled CVT.

And?
There are plenty of touring bikes with four cylinders or less. If they took off the rear most two cylinders and integrated a motor and batteries into that space (closest to center of wheel base) they could ostensibly have the room for a motor and batteries without increasing weight too much. And it would still be…
