I assumed they were just destroying a car, then I see him drive off with his family ON THE RIM! Not to mention, last time I checked, the gas tank those is in the back.

I want a bumper sticker that says “the closer you get the slower I go.”

While that happens all the time in my area, it doesn’t look like that happened in this case. That speed differential seems too large to just be a car cutting in at the last second. It looks like the truck driver didn’t realize the light was red (evidenced by the fact he didn’t even try to stop) or was distracted.

One of the things that I took from the Motorcycle Safety Course that I really liked is that when someone is tailgating you, to try to increase the distance between you and the car in front of you so that you will be able to slow down twice as slowly and effectively give that room back to the car behind you to prevent…

Pretty sure S10 brakes are shitty even with no load.

Ah, the classic

I have watched hundreds (perhaps fewer) burout videos and I always come back to this one:

god from the first lurch how was someone not yelling at him to stop. “goodbye $600” - sure it ended up being alot more than that....

33x10.5r15s or 255/85r16s are the sweet spot. 255/80R17 might work too.
 BFG also has a 34x10.5r17 that has a spec height of 33.5" (BFG likes to overstate heights in general).

When you drive fast the negative air pressure that builds up from the air flowing around the vehicle will not allow air to come from the side.

This is fucking cool.

This is a righteous rant. And FFS, if ever you’re going to use math in the real world for more than balancing your checkbook (and cooking), it will be while you’re solving a problem that shop class brought to your doorstep. If you have X square feet of something to cover with material M that comes in a fixed size…

Way more useful than algebra.

True - these things are cumulative in their effect, despite Hammond’s previous recovery. I suspect he would’ve been wearing a helmet. He’s a serious rider, and he’s always worn a helmet on two wheels on screen before (motorcycle or bicycle). But even then, bouncing the head around even without external injury isn’t…

“I’m not dead” sounds like something a dead person would say

Tremendously reliable, competent, good handling car that no one bought.

I see regular complaint on this website for the lack of wagons and small pickups.

Maybe it is the consumer, but I believe there is a market for a modernized 1980s Honda Civic. Such a car would probably have outrageously high fuel economy. The problem is that it is illegal to build and sell that car in the USA for road use. It would not have airbags, it would probably not have the roll over…

Reading between the lines 2 things stand out:

Most newer manuals (from the advent of the Tremec, nee Borg Warner T4/T5 in the early 1980s) use ATF instead of 75W-90 or (if it’s the diff in my truck) 75W-140 gear oil. This was done to reduce drag for improved fuel economy, with the appropriate changes to bearings and gear face geometry to account for the reduced…
