Yes, right before the new administration rolled in:

That’s why lightly used cars often make sense. Because your new car sitting on your driveway is losing large chunks due to depreciation. I don’t think it’s smart to have your financial planning be such that you’d be forced to sell a car to make ends meet in case of an emergency.

It’s kind of a given that with such a huge population, there’d be an exodus of Californians to other parts of the country with lower costs of living especially for those not making $75K+ incomes.

The compromise that California proposed and was signed on by 4 OEMS was in fact, a slightly softened version of the already passed Obama legislation a couple of years ago. In other words, it’s actually the status quo, and California had aligned their standards with the federal standards when that happened.

That wasn’t because of anything disparaging that Jalopnik said. It was because Patrick George crashed a Camaro.

I hate to tell you this but it’s at almost $50 currently

You can say that as well about companies like AMD, or even the random period of runup for FCA a year or two back. I can’t say that I understand why Tesla’s stock price is the way it is even with their ‘success’ we’ve seen so far (on top of the risk and stress), so I just put my money into index funds without thinking…

To be honest, this is sometimes still an issue. Back in my college days, I can type numbers without looking at my indestructible Nokia, and it was nice only needing to charge it like once a week. Smartphones are better but they present some tradeoffs (at least battery life is improving... same with durability). 

They make other parts, including EV and hybrid components. I think the author did a bad job differentiating between why BW is in a better position and is worth more than Delphi.

Boomer Brain: A condition where you stay at home all day with the TV on full blast. Symptoms: Extremely short attention span, jumping from one unrelated topic to another, irritability, stubbornness when proven wrong, presents opinions as fact. I think the term existed prior to “OK, Boomer” and you can see this term…

Low speeds (therefore power requirements) and turbos? I imagine cooling the vehicle becomes a challenge at that altitude too, because of pressure effects on the coolant.

I’ve seen a lot of people do this, surprisingly. One person told me it's because it helps with a bad back.

40 mpg is 40 mpg; the amount of CO2 emitted is actually the same. What’s different is everything else; particulates, NOx, etc. and this is what your catalytic converter is doing. The catalytic converter is responsible for oxidizing CO to CO2, hydrocarbons to CO2 and water, and reduction of NOx to nitrogen.

You can directly calculate this value. It’s just a chemical equation which is why CO2 emissions and fuel economy are used interchangeably. Kind of like torque and horsepower.

Double post

We had a skyactiv 2.0 manual hatchback. It has ‘155hp’ but it honestly doesn’t even feel like it has that. Not only was the car astoundingly slow, but the engine is zero fun to actually rev out. It might as well have been a slightly more competent Corolla. So I think the concerns about the X are valid.

Ontario has graduated licensing. Technically we're better trained than many other places. People just suck.

It got really bad over the last decade. I still remember 90s Toronto-ghetto, but with something approaching culture, 140km/h averages on the 401, and short lineups. I’m glad I grew up in the GTA and also glad I left.

Pedantry covered for motors, I will also say the Focus RS engine had a lot of issues, so I’m not really sure it belongs on this list. It also didn’t change a lot of Mustang enthusiasts minds (i.e. V8 or bust). More known as the rental car option.

Architecturally, the 2.7 and 3.5L engines are different. The 3.5L engine was recently updated, but I don’t know if it has the “two piece” block design that the 2.7L has.
