Definitely no excuse not to have built in code reading when every car has a multifunction screen tied to some sort of microprocessor. They could very easily provide a nice text-base readout.

Another option would be a number next to it to indicate the number of faults detected. It would also be nice if they didn’t force you to get a code reader and instead just always had a “faults detected” menu.

No no, you have it all backwards. The bits that make the car drive are really good, the body... not so much. Therefore, it’s a perfect candidate for an inverse LS swap... put a Camero body on the Model 3 skateboard.

Panel gaps is not the same as engine problems.

“...just tires, final drive ratio, drivetrain efficiency and weight of that drivetrain.”

That’s not a “just” accumulation of factors, especially since you also might have a taller ride height wreaking havoc on aero drag, just as much as all of the factors above wreak havoc on mechanical drag.

That added weight might…

So no one in their right mind is going to drive in 4hi in high traction (ie summer). So with a 4x4 equipped truck, but in 2wd, is that still claiming the same loss? You’d still have the weight, the AT tries, and final drive.

He will be assimilated into a Honda CR-V

What’s he passing? Is that a Borg cube?!?

Hmmm...I have an SVX, an Outback parts car, and a welder....

Someone REALLY likes Astons

Excuse me whilst I furrow my brow at having oil lines anywhere near a knuckle.

It’s a living thing, Raph. It breathes, it eats... and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the engine compartment and up across the hood, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire…

I’m so gutted for him. First the crash with Chelsea then the fire. Hope the team can recover from this and perform well in Atlanta

Do any of us really know what happens to heroin when it’s been packed in a dummy cylinder for several years?
