It’s amusing how these kind of moves are an issue when Rosberg tries them on everyone’s dearly beloved Lewis, but when Lewis has repeatedly done things like this to Nico in the past, nobody bats an eye, the FIA doesn’t penalize, etc. Not saying it wasn’t a shit move, but it’s not the first time a Mercedes driver did…

In owning cars with both N/A configurations and turbo, I’ve honestly found that there is a huge curve in the change of driving style required to get decent mileage out of a turbo engine. My old Ford Escort 2.0 DOHC gets almost identical fuel economy to my VW Beetle 1.8T. I know people with 2.0 EcoBoost cars who…

The fuel economy being worse is also true for large engines. Real world fuel economy hardly ever matches to estimated numbers because you cannot produce lots of power and have good fuel economy at the same time. Think of the turbo tech like catalytic converters. In the 70s, people hated them, talked about how horrible…

“And for every electric car that’s sold, there tends to be one less on the road drinking gasoline.”

I am very much aware of that. But also look at engines like the 1.0L Ford Ecoboost and the plant from the new Focus RS. The bhp/liter is just crazy. The tech is all there to make engines smaller and more powerful, and it’s only improving by the day.

Find a video of the BMW Bravo 1.5l turbo I4 in action and tell me again that we have a legitimate need for huge engines

Speed itself is never an issue. The real problem is the fact that, in an accident, you come to a stop, usually very quickly.

Why do we hear so much about VAG cheating emissions but nothing about Renault? Oh, I love mass media.

My buddy’s Jeep Grand Cherokee. It’s lifted, on huge tires, and corners like a go kart. Scariest experience I’ve ever had in my life. He takes corners so fast with it you’d swear you see God 5 times every mile you’re in it.

People these days don’t like to fix things like they used to. For instance, if you buy a 1990 model year car with 300,000 miles that never sat for long periods, was well maintained, and was never abused for a minute of its life, it will almost definitely be a much better car than a similar one with 20,000 miles that…

It almost looks like the video was taken as a negative
