Checkmates are sweet. Used to own one with a 750hp single (home built 502) and it felt so damn fast ( only going 85 lol) and I'd beat on all kinds of douchebags on lake St. clair

Nah it's pretty sufficient. I've worked on an old Toyota Corolla which had been driven for about a year with his back brake line cut. Every time he came in we'd ask him if he wanted us to fix it yet and (because he was cheap) he'd say no he doesn't need it

That is true and makes sense. However I've heard of Cigarette's top boat going 140+ and don't even mention catamarans...

Well depending on the length which is an important factor for boats if you wanna go fast, 1500 hp should definitely be able to make something this narrow and light go much much faster. Also if it's a jet boat....how does it come out of the water on those hydrofoils...? Jet boats require the hull to be in the water for…

To make speed even easier; the vessel is powered by three 500 horsepower jets. Top speed is 38 knots (44 MPH) which is rather quick on the water. The fastest dual-V8 powered Cigarette-style luxury speed boats do around 90 MPH using all the gasoline there is. The Kormaran can travel almost 60 nautical miles at full…

I live up here in the rust I know all about it. And sir, cars have a proportioning valve after the master cylinder. Not speking for all cars but for most cars there is a special pressure sensing valve in them that will cut off fluid flow to any line that loses pressure. Blow the rear line, [usually rusts first,…

I want one showing what cars I own

Can't speak for trucks with airbrakes but to anyone who drives a car with hydraulic brakes (everyone) you brakes don't just "go out." That makes no sense at all. Hydraulic brakes don't work that way people. That excuse is so old.

Airplanes melt in lava that's why they're staying away you said it yourself

Michigan Economic Development Corp. car czar Nigel Francis said he's "99% sure" Johan de Nysschen, Cadillac president, just didn't want to move to Detroit.

Cool

I don't drive any slower than 10 over. cuz ya know...it's safer

Was gonna say the Ford Fusion but someone else already did. How about any Lincoln? That'd be sweet

And it's such a damn-good-looking plane too

"...elderly black people, of which there are several in the Motor City..."

"The downside to this is that if your engine is turning slowly (i.e. at low RPM's) you don't have as much compression, and as such, less power. "

Reader TrinTDI wondered if an engine can run in reverse since the primary rotation of the starter motor is backwards. A two stroke engine can, but not a four stroke. So if you've got an old Trabant, go try it at home!
