As a fellow mechanical engineering degree & diploma toting gear head, maybe don't be such a douch by highlighting a fault that someone already admitted. Hindsight is 20/20 and when you're drinking beer it's not even that. At least he actually torqued them. If he didn't misread a unit at the end of a number all would…

4 out of the 8 broke on mine. 1/2 an hour for those first 4 and another 6 hours for the rest...lol The tool worked great getting them out. Sure I cringed at the sound of cracking porcelain but once I got over that, all was good. Went with champion 7989 replacements for their one piece design that Ford should have used…

My guess as to why the rider did that was to aid in weight shift and get the bike to turn faster (he was pretty committed to turning right at the time) while also having a leg to push off against if he over turned to the left (Like in Moto X )

I'll concur with the Burglar, you could get an SE Fusion with the 1.6 Ecoboost in stick. They are a unicorn of sorts but still, you could get them.

It's totally a good thing...for sure.

Wait, I'm confused by your WTF? comment. Are you upset that this is the way things are done up here? Are you pissed that in the States, because so many people can carry guns, that this situation is highly unlikely due to the threat of bullets flying? As a registered restricted gun owner in Canada, I'll tell you,…

Yeah, I think they made the right call. Knowing how people react to small animals while driving, and how they over react to point where people are seriously injured in multiple car pile-ups, this was definitely the better way to handle it.

I want to through a 03-04 Cobra in there but good luck finding one under 10k without a salvage title. While salvage title doesn't necessarily mean 'deal breaker' in all cars, I feel it should for a Terminator.

Did you read that whole part in my last post that said "can definably help " and "not a given" and "is likely" to read, "Will definitely help" and "is a given" and "just is"? Oh okay.

Of course those two statements are completely different when taken by themselves. Try taking them in context of the entire statement and this article before grandstanding. Being a driver and a mechanic, can definitely help a person become a better driver through a better understanding of how a vehicle operates. Sure…

Your statement "I think it will help you appreciate your car's limitations/capabilities." is what I think he meant. You don't need to go off and get all semantic on him.

Too over the top for me. Why too "fast and furious" I'm older now, maybe back when I was in my 20's I'd find it more appealing. I'd go with the Focus ST or RS before this or the WRX STI.

My speculation, Autonomous cars are really going to screw shit up. If you're expecting the already lazy ass public to still pay attention to a car that drives itself in case it malfunctions, you're on glue. The whole idea of self driving cars needs to needs to be implemented across the board all at once. No half ass…

Stupid "HID" bulbs in a reflector housing!!!! I see it all the time. Arrrg. Have some consideration you poser assholes. Get proper projectors headlights and aim them so their 'cut-off' doesn't blind people. If you think "just putting in bulbs" gets the job done, you're an idiot who is blinding everyone around you.

V12 - Manual - Gated Shifter!!!! Gated Shifter!!! Gated Shifter!!!!

No cause for alarm...? Horse shit...Things are going to go bad. The people who say all is good, are not the people who will be affected when it does go south. Believe who you want but I'm glad I don't have any car payments right now.

I used to design them at Tigercat. You're right. The Diesel is mounted to a pump stack. 3-4 pumps that drive the bogies, crane and small other things like the dozer blade. It ends up looking almost like a conventional transmission but with a bunch of big ass hoses sticking out.

It's prolly a full blown OEM designed fire suppression system with optimized nozzle positions and spray points. There's a lot that goes into the design of those systems. Their ability to quickly put out a fire effectively is far better than grabbing that red cylinder strapped to your floor, running out to the fire,…

This works both ways girls. I'm a friendly guy. I don't mind talking to girls about anything and I'm not intimidated by how they look. So how come girls or women start doing that whole grab my arm when they laugh at what I just said or get really close to me when we're talking or start flinging their hair all over…

It was -24C (that's -11F) today when I fired up my car to go to work, I'm having a real hard time finding sympathy for those in this situation.
