Currently the fire they're fighting covers over 1900 acres of land, use some perspective.

I read it just fine - we should all zoom up like you. I disagree! Speed up to merge speed and get over ASAP not run to the front like a "sidezoomer" - simple. I watch these asshats every single day, stick to the merge lane as long as possible and then cut in. Sorry, I think that's a bad way to go and I merge over well…

Yes! This exactly! Move over at speed as soon as possible when merging. If you're in the lane being merged then leave some space but if you start to get to the end and asshats are riding the merge lane trying to squeeze that last few feet then close up and they can slam a water barrier for all I care. It's not hard to…

Sorry but the right side only occurs when the moving traffic stops. If the traffic was moving then the car you depict stuck trying to get over would simply merge and everyone else would have time to merge themselves without rushing to the very end, slamming on the brakes, and then jamming themselves in which is what I…

Umm no. Are you suggesting that when we see a merge lane we should move out of the travel lanes and use it to get ahead? No? I thought not. I leave adequate space ahead of my car for people to merge but as the merge lane ends and dickheads like you try to squeeze out that very last foot of space before trying to jump…

Someone tosses a dog off a roof and murders it they are not going to walk away having paid what some asshat determines to be "value of dog". Criminal charges would almost certainly be filed for cruelty or animal abuse. Next up - Civil Court. Stand up in front of a judge and tell them that it was no big deal to kill…

3 model years old yes - with 10K on the odometer. This wasn't a car being used daily, it was being cared for and was at the dealership for warranty work of all things!

What you describe might be what the letter of the law says but what's "legal" and what's right are two different things and the dealership is trying to pull some shady shit. I had a beloved car totaled by an asshole Sears driver. they offered me "blue book", refused to take into account a professional appraisal,…

You honestly think that if a groomer murdered someone's family pet that offering them a pittance in cash would make it okay? That in a court of law they wouldn't suffer - civil or in the case of actual abuse criminal? No emotional compensation? People love pets more than they do cars and you can see the shitstorm…

That's why they cheapened the car up a bit later on and dropped the price but the damage was done and no one had yet figured out just how much power these things could make. When people figured that out and a couple of movies highlighted it they became quite popular! I'd like to have another for sure, mine having been…

35k?! What are you smoking? Sticker in my Supra in 1995 was 52k for a targa 6spd with AC. I can remember driving over to the dealer when these cars first hit in 1993 to look at them on the lot and laughing at the sticker prices. 35K might have gotten you an NA hardtop - maybe. Very little research will blow your 35K…

$3K for headgaskets? Seriously?! lol

That 4Klb advantage can quickly turn into a problem when something called momentum gets involved. Stopping anything heavy on slick surfaces is no fun, I'll take something lighter 90% of the time. If I have so much snow to go through that I need massive ground clearance and more weight I'll stay home or get myself a…

With 4 snow tires or the all season crap that most people keep on them year around? Tires make all the difference in the world and for real driving in the snow snow tires are the way to go.

He's asserting it based on the 25year LAW that this guy extensively researched.

I once had to panic stop at a light - pre-ABS days. I slammed on the brakes but the car kept going forward and I bumped into the guy in front of me. Upon exiting the car I found that my wheels had locked up on one of those nice wide strips they glue to the pavement at stoplights to mark where you're supposed to stop.…

Yup, resonance and spring moment make sense to me as well. I'm not familiar at all with the crash scene nor looked at pictures but I think I can see where these guys were going with their theory and it makes sense to me. Even if they were finding their car upset by these things I still think the 90mph speed it was…

If you hit any spaced object on the road at the right speed you more or less end up floating on that object. For example, drive over railroad ties. At slow speeds it will jar your teeth out, speed up and the suspension works, get to the right speed and the suspension is working like hell but the ride is smooth(er).…

The liquid intercooled car will have lower intake temps right up until the water heat soaks - then you're back to near ambient temps. Using ice in the water reservoir is awesome of course but it melts fast. Obviously you can cool the water, as Cobra, Lightning, and others do, but the water ends up at or likely above…

It sounds like you don't know much about the Supercharged Cobras. Yes, a pulley swap made them much faster and yes the ECU compensated just fine so long as you didn't go crazy! That's what MAF metering does for you when sized correctly. Lots of reasons why Ford might not have done this from the factory to include…
