The colors and license plates change because they aren’t always filmed on the same days, or even consecutive days due to availability and they are just getting a car from the manufacturers test fleet, which is just going to be whatever car they have available on that day. That’s true of many of the cars tested on top…

uh, he’s got a foot and a half of water in his house, pretty sure he’s worried about more than just his cars.

If they are trapped at the top of the wall, they’d likely have to get to castle black in order to get to winterfell. The other castles along the wall are all in disrepair, and may very well not have a functioning means of getting down off the wall. Tormund has climbed down the wall before, but he has none of the…

I dry off my upper body in the tub, put my leg up on the edge dry that off, step out with the dry leg and put the wet leg up on the edge and dry it off. The wife dries off completely outside the tub.

Well if it gets the B58 I see no reason why it wouldn’t be a solid mid-4 car at minimum. The 340/440i can both hit 60 in the mid 4's and should be heavier than this. I wouldn’t be super shocked if the biggest engine with the automatic can dip into the upper 3's. Hell the I4 might be able to dip its big toe into the…

I don’t do it at (very) low speeds but it’s not unusual for me to to a 1-6 or (more commonly) 1-2-6 shift in my ZHP. It usually happens when I am on a road with a 35-45 mph speed limit and I want to get up to speed relatively quickly but don’t want to accelerate much past that. That usually puts me around 1500 rpm…

MD did not completely willingly fight for the Union during the Civil War. The Union Army was strategically placed in MD during the outbreak of the war to ensure that MD would enter the war on the Union side, mostly to ensure that Washington DC was not fully surrounded by Confederate states. MD was actually still a…

I pulled into the community college I was going to at the time, got out of my e30 318i(not the good one with the M40/2, the bad one with the M10) and it smelled very heavily of gasoline. I looked under the car and, sure enough, there was a cut in one of my gas lines that was just spraying gas all over the pavement. …

I have never once been intimidated by a Gran Marquis. The grill is too distinctive for me to confuse it with a Crown Vic. If you swapped out the GM grill for a Crown Vic grill tho, that’s a different story.

I’ll be perfectly honest, I never really understood the draw of these cars. They don’t look all that great, they aren’t particularly fast, they handle OK for a crown vic, which is not really saying all that much. They don’t ride all that well. They do sound good, which I guess is nice for some people, but for me if…

If I understand the technology right, won’t the octane of the fuel an HCCI engine is burning be critical to be correct? Given the fact that you are relying on the charge igniting at a very specific density/temperature point it would seem that you need to always have the correct octane as it would be very difficult…

Is Kap still asking for starter money to play? I mean if the dude is asking for reasonable backup money then yeah, something is off here. Last I heard he was asking for starter money, and nobody wants to pay a backup starter money.

I was trying to point out that the front axle is heavier on a FiST than an M3, which will end with the front wheels losing grip faster. But I messed up and grabbed the weight of the FoST instead, so it’s all a moot point.

I wouldn’t say it’s quite that meaningless. It’s a means of saying it makes a good amount of torque for its size.

aww crap, I accidently pulled the numbers for the Focus ST.

The FiST is 3248 lbs, the e46 M3 is 3523, so the weight difference is less than you’d think. Beyond that the FiST has a 60/40 weight split meaning the front axle is carrying 1948lbs, while the M3, with its 50/50 balance is only carrying 1761. *edit, I had the FoST’s weight, not the Fist’s weight.

It is a useful stat, but is meaningless in absence of other information, which is why I also mentioned it’s range of torque and peak torque.

The e46 M3 has 269 lb·ft and over 200 lb·ft from 2k to redline. It’s torque/L is one of the best of any n/a engine ever built.

I’m not convinced this would actually be enough to wake me up. Partly because some nights I don’t actually use any sheets(that’s right, I risk being bitten by a vampire at least 3 times a week). Partly because I sleep so heavily that my wife has actually picked up my head to remove my glasses, removed said glasses,…

It’s a $2 difference and gives me peace of mind. I’m fully aware that it likely still meets the requirements of the cert.
