You really want to take a brand-new truck out in the woods and get pinstripe scratches down the side? Or bang up the rockers on a boulder?

What’s beyond that?

My fun car is on E-85 and gets driven maybe 35 miles a week. Cars like that are doing no more damage than humans breathing essentially.

EVs could be made so good they’re the apex of everything a car could possibly do and you’d STILL need a carrot/stick approach to get people to buy the things.

For anyone with a chronically dirty dishwasher try running a few empty loads with a dispenser full of citric acid. You can buy a few pounds of the stuff on Amazon for under $20. Its the same active ingredient as in off the shelf cleaners but way cheaper this way. It restored my crusty old Bosch to sparkly like new.

The only way this doesn’t get 100% No Dice is if someone accidentally clicks the wrong choice. I refuse to believe that anyone exists who would pay that much for this abomination.

Hint for sellers, if your car has known issues, fix them before selling. Nobody wants to buy a car that already has problems.

The problem is the torque tube and the rear transaxle. It’s not like an LS and a T56 will just bolt on with a new custom driveshaft. There is a lot of work to be done. Be better off with a original manual car.

Thank you for the insight! I forgot about ground effect.

Yep, you’re right, the laws are wrong and the “slower traffic keep right” signs are wrong, too!😀

Sure. You’re camped in the left lane on an open highway doing 70 MPH. The speed limit is set at 70, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the engineering limits and safe speed that can be traveled on the road.

I’ll never understand why the milk advisory board didn’t licence that movie for its “Got Milk?” ads...  

Because if the film didn’t get it into your head, a few of your high school buddies trapped in a rolled over early-’90s Ford Explorer burning to death would. 

Holy shit I was wondering how long they kept showing those Red Asphalt movies. I saw them in Driver’s Ed in 1978 for fuck’s sake. They already seemed old back then.

It is illegal to go over the speed limit. It is also equally illegal to impair traffic.

You should be beaten to death you insufferable douche. I hope someone road rages you. Fucking loser. 

I will say one thing. There have been numerous studies done that people holding up traffic in the left lane, regardless of speed, is more dangerous than the person speeding in the left lane.
