As a current Comcast customer for internet only, I’m very concerned they will throttle F1 streaming if you’re not paying to watch it on TV. Fuck Ajit Pai.

We’ll see. The ISPs may decide to F you over because you chose to stream instead of keep their cable package.

Not even close. Gladiator won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture.

The horror! You haven’t seen Gladiator???

Yet it has more interior room than the Taurus. The Taurus is just unnecessarily huge for the sake of it.

While I admire the Apollo-like push to go do something we don’t know how to do yet, that challenge didn’t have direct consequences to everyday Americans in the way that mandating EVs will. I’d want to see an implementation-ready tech that solves most of the current EV downsides (at a vehicle level), so that investment…

If you go and figure out the sheer amount of power required if say, half the population has cars charging, there is NO WAY that we can sustain that without more nuclear plants being built. We have many urban areas today that can’t even/can barely sustain the electricity demand in the summer due to AC units running.

Are you me? Also at an OEM in engineering and I agree 100%. If real progress is made on solid-state battery tech that Toyota is piling money into, THAT will be the game-changer. It lacks most of the current battery tech’s downsides and adds a whole bunch of upsides.

If only it were a little lower. The current Colorado isn’t that wide or long, but it’s so high and makes it look huge for what it is. The old Ranger and Colorado appear much smaller despite not being that much less in width or length.

300 hp at 3500 lbs is no slouch. With manual and optional gears it’s pretty quick and fun to drive.

The turbo four in the newer Mustangs is woeful to drive. Sounds like crap (even among four cylinders). Runs out of steam super early. All low-mid grunt, no drama.

4. With the manual it’s a blast. I liked the 08-12 version a lot better than the latest though. The more recent cars felt really numbed. I owned an 09 with the manual and test drove a 13 and hated it.

Sounds like crap, and adding an exhaust makes it worse. It is all low-mid power, falls on its face after 5000 rpm. The V6 is slightly slower but more fun to drive doing anything besides stoplight jaunts.

Agreed. The 3.7 is the better engine between the two. The V6 manual with the 3.55 gears option is a hoot. Almost bought one. Got the GT instead, but I have a soft spot for the 3.7 S550.

The 200 was uncompetitive in many areas, and these days, with crossover assault, size is a big one. It was the smallest car in the segment from an interior volume perspective. The 9 speed also had issues. Mazda has been able to get away with the 6 being a little smaller because of their looks, interior…

I’ll see your 420 and raise you to 435 as-built, 470 as it sits currently.

Generally, this is the biggest difference, outside of additive packages: if you think of molecules of oil as marbles (play along...), conventional oil has small marbles, medium marbles, and a couple big ones here and there. The big ones are a byproduct of the refining process (or lack thereof). Synthetics have all…

Once I started doing UOAs (so actual data), I started becoming comfortable with the very long interval suggestion on my car (10k miles). I have done changes at that length when I was driving mostly highway in that time, and have since scaled it back to 7,500 miles now that it’s more city. 6,000-8,000 with my current…

Get yourself a block of foam to put in there for the wash.
