Yeah I see you’ve been lifting there Taurus, but you also got fat.

Badmouth the camshafts in the V8 all you want. but how dare you speak of the symphony of ovals in such fashion.

I’m a fan of both cars, but don’t love the “high-waisted” newer ones. In fact, I prefer my modern “SHO wagon” with dat EcoBoost.

Yeah, this gets weird. Fairmont -> Tempo -> Contour -> Fusion.

...“he finished last in the 40-car field March 5 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and failed to qualify for the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway.”

Can you imagine what it is going to be like when the first Ford Focus RS drops? I give it maybe a month and their will be at least 2 or 3 totaled minimum. All of those cars will be found to have been in “drift mode” at the time of the accident

The address for the dealer selling the Silver 1995 XJ6 is 2525 El Camino Ave.

Luckily that’s not the case. The only way you can void the warranty by using track mode is if you actually race it / officially time it. Actual track days that are “untimed” and not competing against other vehicles are ok. I’ve looked into this when I ordered my Mustang because what’s the point of a track mode if you…

Basically there is no center differential or rear differential, there are 2 clutches on either side of a ring and pinion which connect to tiny little planetary gearsets. The computer locks up one or both or the clutches to engage AWD and the gearsets overdrive the wheel its attached to. Drift mode is likely just fully…

It’ll be a nice change of scenery from all the 2015 WRXs and STIs around these parts...

As stunning as those Touaregs’ interiors are, remember that they were built in the Piech days. He certainly traded every bit of long term durability of the interior and reliability of the electrics / non-powertrain systems for the beautiful interior. I don’t think the larger engines are particularly reliable either. I…

Don’t let his identity slip...the service advisor’s group international will surely have him silenced; probably by cutting the wire on his desk phone.

Uh, yeah. Only a little bit more involved than any other oil change. Shouldn’t take longer than an hour for each drain and fill.

Just replace the fluid and filter yourself. You might just save your transmission. It’s not hard to do. Jack up your car, drain the oil, remove the transmission oil pan, replace the filter, reinstall the transmission oil pan, and fill the transmission with the correct ATF (usually Pentosin). BMW themselves have…

Electro-luminescent dashboards

9th Generation Corolla/Matrix 2003-2008 are very reliable cars that last a long time, but the engineers behind the gauge cluster decided that the odometer should freeze at 299,999 miles or kilometers. You’ll have to rely on trip miles at that point.

The Oldsmobile 350 Diesel. It was a half-assed attempt at making a diesel engine, done by modifying the design of the 350 gasoline engine. The engineers suggested using more head bolts than the gasoline version (among other things) and accounting vetoed it due to cost. As a result the head bolts aren’t up to the task…

You are a special form of stupid, aren’t you?

Shall I continue?
