MAH BROTHER DINT WEAR NO SEATBELT! HE GOT IN A WRECK AND THROWN CLEAR AND LIVED. SEATBELTS SUCK!!!!

In some weird way, I find this kind of cool. There is something sexy about a peaky engine that doesn’t like being cold or puttering around at low speed. Modern engines do everything so well that they require less of you as a driver.

This sounds like he was rushing home to take a shit, failed to make it home, and figure that it wasn’t worth driving dangerously anymore. The damage was done.

As my grandfather would say “they don’t build ‘em like they used to” to which I’d reply “Thank God.”

The way you’ve written the article makes it seem as if there are two compressors: an electric compressor and a turbo.

electric motor starter generator and electric compressor? Sounds like Formula 1 is officially invading streetcars. hopefully this sounds better than the F1 engines.

They’ve been referred to as electric superchargers for a bit now. Phantom makes a few. Unless I’m completely wrong and this is a turbo with an electric motor like in F1.

Plus coal fired machines didn’t vomit out black smoke like that for the aforementioned “its not efficient” thing.

Trains, for instance, only let out a little wisp of waste steam. You tweaked the fire to get big columns of smoke for photo ops, even in the back then days, because SMOKE = MORE POWER.

“I...I think I’ve got some F-35 stuck in my teeth. Pumba, do you see it...?”

Great read.

It’s clear that hell has indeed frozen over. The Cubs are in the World Series.

Fair point - I was mainly referring to the black plume of smoke in its wake.

I can’t wait for the fade to die. Take extreme camber with it.

Same — got a 3 Series and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Now to get my cash too :)

I mean, if you’re in to that kind of thing...

Trucks should be banned from left lanes, unless there’s a left exit. Period.

So is Lewis Kanye in this analogy? I hate to admit it but I feel like Lewis is Kanye in this analogy.
