And substantially less of a contact patch on the drive wheel. Besides, who doesn’t bring tire warmers with an F1 car?

Yeah, that Impulse is non-turbo and RWD. As someone who owned an actual 88 turbo with the Lotus suspension, it was a mechanically shitty car when I had it back in the early 90's, so I’d imagine would be exponentially shittier now. It was pretty to look at, though, and fun to drive when the engine wasn’t broken.

I can’t even get past the name of this abomination! Nissan Kicks? That’s the best name marketing could come up with? I’m sure it did real well in some focus groups...

Stick shifts...yes! Carburetors...hell NO! Electronic Fuel Injection is just better than any carburetor for variable conditions, like we find in the real world.

I’m right there with you on that! I have no desire to have a car with all the latest safety and infotainment tech. My current car is a 2006 and other than ABS, airbags and a drive-by-wire throttle, it’s pretty low tech by today’s standards. And I’m fine with that.

The word you’re looking for is seceded. From the standpoint of the legal system here in CA, it’s legal to purchase, possess and imbibe. Perhaps it would have made more sense if my sentence read, “...saw him on a podcast partaking in a substance that is legal within the State of California.”

Would you sleep better tonight if I just said ‘No’?

^{Good for you and your obscurity!}

Can you point out any time I actually said that I did?

Look, I’m really not Musk’s biggest fan by any means, but there’s no reason to start investigating him just because someone (and by someone, I mean just about everyone with internet access) saw him on a podcast partaking in a legal substance within the State of California. To me, this is literally no different than if…

My first accident was quite literally the worst accident I’ve ever been in. It all happened one morning when I was on my way to work...at a hospital, of all places. At the time, I was 18 and driving a 1974 VW Beetle. I’d just exited the freeway and was headed down the usual street that led me to the hospital and was…

As the former owner of a 1980's vintage Suzuki GS750, 90% of the time if there was an issue with the bike, it was the carbs. The other 10% was a blown voltage regulator. I owned that thing for nearly 10 years and became an expert at removing and disassembling those damn Mikuni’s! They were BS alright!

The modern day Detroit equivalent to Dick Jones would be Dan Gilbert.

As someone that lives in a beach town, these things are everywhere. Some are hipster locals or people that live somewhere else in the city and came to the beach for the day, but most renters are tourists, especially now that it’s summer. People that didn’t want to buy a $500 scooter and deal with checking it as…

My current desktop wallpaper has both the HF Zero and the Modulo...

Probably not the coil itself since it’s literally just a coil of wire. However, anything plugged into the primary side coil might not fare so well. Although, voltage induced into the secondary windings from the EMP would likely be stepped down on the primary side. Still that might be enough current to blow out any…

I’m always surprised that these stories never seem to mention that Qualcomm stands to benefit quite a bit from ZTE’s resurrection. I can’t imagine that losing the world’s 4th largest smartphone manufacturer as a customer was great for their bottom line.

You know what other group of people has no credibility with the American Public? Billionaires. Especially mouthy ones lording over companies full of underpaid employees and unpaid interns.

The ‘Vette sounds like a Neanderthal among it’s modern peers. Loud and brash, like a gigantic, muscular caveman wielding a large wooden club facing up against a field of smaller warriors that possess body armor and machine guns.

Here in SoCal, where we call it the “California lift”, it’s mostly done on wannabe Baja pre-runner trucks where the front has a full sex of Fox shocks, some custom control arms and unpainted, fiberglass fender flares (or whole fenders) along with a fully stock rear end. It used to be mostly small trucks, like the Taco…
