I did not watch the video, but this article is very interesting. Interesting, as in, well, as if it was written by someone who has no understanding of how internal combustion engine works learned of something via telegram with ‘stop’ in all the wrong places. Or maybe I’m reading a Joyce-esque masterpiece, but I…

Actual combustion engineer here:

I am not entirely following. I have had a bad HPFP before, and it leaked gasoline into the oil via the seal from the HPFP to the cam driving it. This is a fairly common failure mode, and dilutes oil, sounds like what the article is getting at. It does not cause low oil levels or drive consumption as much as add to the…

My best guess is an EGR delete kit. Those have been popular for awhile with the diesel tuner crowd. The Ford 6.0 and 6.4 both had some serious issues with the EGR cooler getting clogged or leaking coolant which in turn would damage the EGR valve itself.  It was pretty common for people to bypass the cooler or just…

Given the location, middle-of-nowhere Nebraska, the impact was virtually non-existent, especially with the trade-ins coming in already messed with.

I actually wouldn’t consider a lot of these older hybrids. A lot of them have poor support and expensive unique components. Examples:

Jalopnik writing is shit and this is the last straw for me. All this list does is tear down some of the greatest TV cars in history AND COMPLETELY MISSES THE POINT OF WHAT MAKES THEM GREAT. Owen... you’re shit and please stop writing about cars and switch to purses or agriculture or some shit like that. 

Slideshows suck.

Rich people are all assholes, huh? No rich person can be a true enthusiast, and actually enjoy driving awesome cars, right? No one has ever worked hard for their wealth, and wanted to enjoy the fruits of their labor? Only a poor soul like yourself can have the proper enthusiast attitude needed to enjoy these vehicles…

Lol, “missteps”. Proven twin-turbo V6 racing engine, nevermind the EcoBoost label.

Interesting to watch how the camera captured the exhaust pulses during the run.

You literally just got recreationally offended by a person you just imagined you fucking moron

Man,

How could I forget about all those homebuilt 300-Mile-Range Electric Cars built in garages that can be cranked out at a rate of hundreds per week, warrantied to last as much as 100k miles, full furnished interiors loaded with Android Auto and air conditioning, can quick charge using international standards, meet…

Oh look, the Aussie’s are seizing private property under a falsely perceived notion of increased public safety again.

holy shit I really wish we could create a ministry of auto safety that would routinely check all of our cars for “safety”. the same people who are lobbied to by industries that will of course like to sell more new cars so the reasons for flagging your car as outdated and not safe would grow yearly. careful what you…

The Scouts believed the sightings were proof Soviet special forces—the famous Spetsnaz—were using the island training, but their presence was never confirmed. Others chalked the incidents up to walrus poachers trading ivory for cocaine.

Darn. If you had said “Nazi” or “Cheeto” I could have won Trump Derangement Syndrome Bingo.

1st Gear: Can you guys seriously stop saying Canada hasn't shown up to talks? Canada wasn't invited to these bilateral talks between the U.S. and Mexico.

This motherfucker went from baltimore to Jacksonville with a pistol just in case he lost a game. He wouldn't have brought a pipe bomb instead? Maryland concealed carry permits are almost impossible to get so it's not like he was used to carrying one.

Like no judgements?
