I said I didn’t completely disagree. I think that the US could benefit from a graduated licensing class that takes power-to-weight (and gross weight — re: SUVs) into account, with corresponding education and testing to prove a driver has the competency to handle such a vehicle.

So it would seem that to stray away from head gasket issues, remove any engine component with “EJ” in its part#.

Who cares about the car its going in, GM HAS DEVELOPED STEALTH CLOAKED ACCESSORY DRIVE PULLEY TECHNOLOGY!!!!!11!!

I don’t know why I always assume reporters and bloggers are older than me, a 37 yr old man. Of course everyone’s younger nowadays.

I have one just like it. It’s a Turbo Encabulator.

Whelp, you know what this calls for!

Poor cows.

The 1800lbs Twin-Cam Suzuki Swift GT. Oh, the memories...

I don’t know quite why but I’ve found myself missing my father’s old C5 Corvette Z06 this week. And high-strung naturally aspirated V8 engines in general.

About 17 years ago I worked for a guy who within 18 months had bought a brand new...

My buddy has an S4 wagon, which is close enough, and it is the most finicky car I’ve personally encountered. It’s amazing when it’s working though and it does work, it just has varying degrees of “working”.
