Are all 65mph or lower east of the Mississippi.

The calculations for safe speed are very conservative, especially for corners. Even big SUVs can exceed “recommended speeds” with some margin for error.

The trucks top out under 20 mph, but that’s all you need for moving something that heavy.

Saturn literally named a car after the fact that it had “Twin Cam” since that’s the only badging that ended up on the S-Series

Maybe it’s a Mazda thing.

I never thought the wing came without the front nose.

One of the modifications added to the Mazdaspeed 6 from the regular Mazda 6 was extra angular steel braces behind the rear seat.

Are you sure? All 68 Mopars had round side markers. 69 was the rectangular you see in this car.

Side note: what idiot decided to use Torx security screws for the rear light assemblies on the 500? They’re user-serviceable parts! Do they seriously want you to go to an auto shop every time a fucking bulb burns out?

Also, some manufacturers make changes mid model year and that can cause specific components to be referenced by VIN (usually by VIN range).

Now playing

There’s Vantablack, for instance, which is supposed to be “blacker than black”:

so wait, you can’t import a foreign car that’s had at least some sort of crash and emissions testing done, but you can import a kit car, build it yourself and drive it...Something seems off about that.

I hate snakes with a passion but even I’m not afraid of THAT one :D !
