I am not much of a truck guy, but even I will admit, there is something satisfying to reaching down, grab that long lever, push it through its long throw, and feel it slide into the next gear.

Here you go, the Porsche Valkyrie

Kindof. The 2ZZ isn’t really an engine Yamaha designed from a clean sheet of paper. The 2ZZ is the end result of Toyota sending its boring 1ZZ to Yamaha and asking them to have fun with it.

Damn straight. Santa, don’t stop shoving coal up their stocking till they cough up diamonds.

Ahhh, the Lannisters in happier times.

I have always been partial to the wood paneled station wagon.

Or if your application is OK with more limited space, you can use MRAM. It’s basically flash that can’t be killed. My company uses such a chip in place of flash on one of our products. If you believe Everspin’s marketing literature it has a life of 10x10^18 cycles and should be good for over 20 years.

This is exactly my situation. When I was looking I tried both the Mustang EB and the Camaro 2LT 2.0T. As a sports car I liked the Camaro better, even missing 40hp against the Mustang. But the rear seat was even more useless than the Mustang and the trunk was a joke.

“It’s not that these smaller vehicles are bad family cars, but they aren’t ideally suited for that task.”

And nothing of value was lost.

Usually you don’t have to cut it. You can just remove the surround and replace it with another one for your Double DIN unit. They make surrounds for most of the popular vehicles, and I will eat my hat if there isn’t one for a Ford F-150 like shown above.

Even worse are the rumors I heard that the upcoming model S refresh will adopt an interior layout similar to the 3.

I like it. It’s a good basic setup. It looks cheap and like there should be something better there, but it’s functional.

Ttechnically not worse than the Buick Cascada but an honorable mention in my opinion.

Noye he didn’t say tax all income at 99.95%. Just all income over $250k. In effect, a salary cap. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. During WW1 the top income bracket was 77%, and during WW2 and the early 50's it was 92%.

The existence of two separate armed forces—one for the nation, one for the regime—is a hallmark of totalitarian governments, from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to the Chinese government of today. The Nazis did it too.

Note he didn’t say he would rather buy a Challenger, just the noise from one.

Odd enough, they do better at high rpm than low rpm. One of the problems with apex seals is that at near idle rpms they tend to “lift” as they race across the housing surface. It’s near impossible to have a spring stiff enough to keep the seal pressed against the housing wall. At high RPM, centrifugal forces keep the…

Yes you would. It’s how old fashioned aircraft piston engines worked. Running near constantly at their peak power RPM at open throttle.
