This doesn’t really change the issues that people have with it. Yes, sharia law is the set of interpretations and understandings by which Muslims live. And yes, it means different things to different people.

It actually looks a lot like a modern derivative of the old Ford MEL V8. Similar layout, port spacing, even the valves seem to be straight up relative to the mounting surface of the cylinder head, and along with the huge size of the base of the head relative to the rest of it, to me indicates an engine with a flat…

He was African-American, but good try on the race bait.

How is the cylinder idle deactivation? Are you planning to hit it with a thermo gun to see if its effective?  How is the idle quality/sound/change back under throttle?

Does it feel heavy?

...and if you’re a particularly daredevilish drifter-type, you can heat up your can of beans on them.

he should be dead because otherwise he’d be like 156 years old.

At the end of the day, he was just another person with an opinion. Also someone who formed the modern day middle class.

Yeah, you just described the average Tesla owner.

I went 300K on the original clutch on my ‘84 Jetta GLI, and only replaced it because the throwout bearing failed. The car did 95% highway miles.

My E46 also still had plenty of life left on the friction plate at 214,000 miles, and that's with several track days and a few years worth of autocross. If it wasn't for the throwout bearing failing it would probably still be in there now at 245,000 miles.

I learned to drive manual on a 1989 Beretta GT that my dad bought with 39K miles on it. At 90K miles the clutch fork broke and the shop replacing it couldnt believe how good a shape the friction disc was in. Especially considering I taught myself on that clutch.

My clutch died at what must be around 150k or so (odo froze at 116k). It would occasionally slip during acceleration or take a moment to catch when at high RPM. When I had it apart to replace the clutch, I didn’t spot any major leaks. Seeing these super high mileage clutches, now I’m wondering if I need to bleed the…

Driving conditions have a big influence on clutch life. If you spend lots of miles cruising on the highway locked in top gear, the clutch sees virtually no wear. If it’s a city car that sees lots of stop and go driving, the clutch will wear out faster.

I had a 95 e36 325iC. I bought it with 185k miles. The guy I bought it from said he never replaced the clutch. I drove it to just shy of 300k miles, never changed the clutch. I sold it to a friend, who then sold it to a friend of his. It now has over 350k miles on it, still on the same clutch. I used it for delivery…

Reading with great excitement until all hopes and dreams were destroyed by the words this truck will only come as a four door model. In other words, yet another faux truck that’s actually a mini-van with a small bed.

It’s a little strange this purple people-mover was at the show at all

I, too, enjoy giving out my phone number to car dealers and getting multiple calls per week to be told about promotions on cars that are nothing like the car I was originally looking at.

I’ve had a harbor freight low profile floor jack for 8 years now. Never had a singe issue with it. Best $80 I ever spent. Now, if it were to break I would probably get something more reputable but for now it works.

It’s not. But it’s polarizing and divisive so journalists bloggers are all over it.
