Fast & Furious the movie, I should’ve typed it out.

Fast and Furious. I shouldve spelled it out.

I used to work at McLaren engines where this was built so I’ve seen this vehicle up close and know the guys that built it. This is definitely a relic of the F&F era which doesn’t do it any favors looks wise. However the work done on it is top notch. These guys were building all the Ford Racing vehicles as well as all…

I’m an acoustics engineer, 2-3 decibels isn’t very much. dB is a logarithmic scale so the pressure is reduced significantly, but 2 dB is around the minimal loudness difference that humans can discern. If we are testing something and there is a 2 dB difference, we wouldn’t call it an improvement. It is within typical…

As a former gear engineer I have little hope that something like this would work anytime soon. First the demonstration shows spur gears which haven’t been used in automotive transmissions in a very long time. Helical gears are used these days and are extremely complicated. There are university professors that do…

As an NVH engineer I second this comment. It is to understand the radiated engine noise without intake and exhaust noise getting into the data. Fun fact, the term (at least around here) for an "infinite" muffler that removes all exhaust noise is a BAM, or Big Ass Muffler.

Its quite awesome. See a car a mile away that looks like it has a bucket on top? Probably a cop.

Keep up the good work Aaron! My main issue with this site is how little journalistic integrity some of the writers have. Thanks for calling people out who can't take 10 minutes to do a little research.

Pret tay, pret tay, pret tay gooood....

I went to the Detroit Build class, a business class put on by D:Hive, and have seen some of what has been going on in the community with Bizdom and groups like that. In the classes there were more regular community business that were in the start-up phase, non-profit mentoring programs, smoothie stands, local…

Dont feed the troll guys.

I went to kettering as well. Our house got broken into at least 5 times a year, sometimes when people were still in the house (ie. not during zero section while everyone is gone). Luckily my car was never broken into.

this was probably already mentioned but the big red button is a kill switch. Pretty much every mule vehicle I've been in has one in case something odd happens and the car starts doing something dangerous. I was always told to never touch it because you can actually screw something up if you press it. So if you are…

Until they fix the parking meters this doesn't make sense. The past 6 times I've been downtown, the meter was broken in some fashion, either the credit card reader wasn't working or it wasn't taking coins or not working at all. This would just make people less likely to want to go downtown.

That's how its always been.

As an automotive engineer with experience with warranty issues I think we need more information before we deluge the comments section with facepalm gifs. For most parts evolutionary changes like the one needed to fix the ignition issue wouldn't require a whole new part number. The numbers used to track drawings and…

Called Poke Yoke and its used quite often in the auto industry. I don't think you know what you are talking about.

My Dad had one of these and he was a businessman so I found the review very amusing. I loved that car though. Interior was top notch, extremely comfortable. It ate highway miles like nobodys business. I drove it to prom when I was in high school, there is nothing like piloting a 7 series while wearing a tux…

Mine was a 98 Golf GL 2.0 auto. Super slow, but I still managed to get several speeding tickets.
