In the list tomorrow the top 4 spots should be each generation of Miata.

We get it. You love your car... This is like the 6th time you’ve posted the same pictures in this thread.

The editing could use some work though... Do they even run a spell checker before hitting “post?”

I’m still keeping my hopes up for advanced ceramics to replace metal for the engine components. Wear? Not a problem anymore. Heat transfer then becomes your issue.

Yeah, that will go away in any production car... It will at least have a huge screen shitting (yes that is intentional) in the middle of the dashboard for the mandated back up camera.

I’m confused by this as well... There are 3 intake pipes and 4 exhaust pipes. It looks more like a 4 rotor engine with only 3 intakes in place.

Probably just a dummy gauge, but shouldn’t a rotary have a redline above 8k?

Or if you drive a convertible, someone who thinks it’s cool to vape/smoke/smoke weed with the windows down in traffic.

And which direction traffic is heading relative to that hill. I drive manuals in Atlanta traffic daily. Stop and go traffic going downhill is refreshing and much nicer than stop and go on a flat road. Stop and go uphill is hell... Especially when the automatic idiots behind you pull right up to your bumper and honk at…

Focus ST is pretty good in the winter with some snow rubber. You do tend to plow a bit in heavier snow though. And that’s at stock ride height.

I would be worried about the long term durability of these engines. High temperature steam is very corrosive and not just to steel and iron. An engine block and cylinders made of ceramic would be great though. I’ve heard those are in development too.

I wish I would have kept the receipt for my fix on the old ‘99 Malibu I owned. It cost me like $450 to replace the ignition switch because it was shorting out. But this was back in like 2008 before any recalls...

There is definitely kinetic heat in there as well. Not just from early impacts, but from continual tidal forces from the sun and moon too.

Technically it’s liquefied (gassified and solid too) plant matter mostly. But it’s no weirder than making moonshine (ethanol) to run in an ICE.

Technically there are two... The sun (fusion) and internal generated planetary heat (fission). You could probably claim that fissile elements are all stuff created from another star, but at that point you’re so pedantic that everything is just stars.

Well if it hits the market with at least a 2018 model year, it will require a backup camera, which means dash screen, probably with an infotainment system (and an extra 3 grand I’d wager).

Sadly, their new marketing plan seems to be: “We’ve got WIFI!” So you can use the wifi in your car instead of your phone’s cell data, except you need a new cell data plan for your car...

I mean that worked so well with On-Star when you had a new phone number for your car so you could make calls without fooling with…

Similar to how a square is specific type of rectangle, a circle is a specific type of oval. In fact, an ellipse like the one you showed (bi-lateral symmetry) is also an oval.

Really? A dog made it in the list, but not a SINGLE WOMAN?
