I would assume that they are mainly just allowing more boost at lower rpm for the torque bump, then tapering it off. Boost is generally actively controlled in modern cars, not just a simple wastegate. It would certainly be interesting to see the hp and torque curves, but I bet as usual with modern turbos that the…

Perhaps uniquely among all states, the overwhelming majority of poor people in New Jersey live within walking distance of mass transit.

I don’t normally elevate greys or invite trolls, but I’m intrigued. Which part of my comment is “Wrong”?

As a non-legal person, there are two possibilities that come to mind.

This is something I enjoy explaining to non car folks whenever they care to listen. So many excellent safety features are remarkably simple in theory... and then there’s these freaking things. Some mf’er really had the idea of a bag with a hole in it that inflates automatically before your face hits it, but deflates on…

Don’t disagree, I’ve never personally had any issues there, other than seeing a naked chap wandering about the Haight area, but that was more funny than alarming. A local ‘eccentric’.

I think SF has some exceptionally bad areas that get a lot of attention, but overall it’s not much different than any other big city. I’ve been to museums, concerts, a conference, and a Warriors game there in the past year with absolutely no issues.

This doesn’t even make any damn sense. What are you trying to convey? Are you just so excited at the prospect of being a complete dipshit, that your pea-brain can’t even structure an intelligible sentence quickly enough?

Oh great. I live in the area. I can barely write this over how angry it makes me. I ride mostly in bike lanes, wear a fluorescent yellow vest and have numerous lights to make me as visible as possible. Yet I have repeatedly been almost hit by people in their cars- the most recent when someone ran a stop light and not…

Wow, second comment and it’s straight to being an asshole. Bravo.

The problem is that when you make conversion van (they apparently start around $70k and quickly go up from there) buyers and High Country buyers a Venn Diagram, you end up with two circles that never touch.  Once you add in the effort of managing the conversion yourself, you end up with circles that live in different…

Track planners are the ones who ought to be tackling humanity’s well documented bug of being stupid. There ought to be mitigation measures in place to keep the idiot fleshbags off the tracks. Other nations seem to manage it. Admittedly they don’t have to deal with Florida-man, but still...

Ford copied their original Ranger after the original Mazda pickup. All of the early Couriers/Rangers were re-badged Mazdas.

Hey, these are really good suggestions, especially the Regal and the Flex

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

Not where I live (province of Ontario) and for the amount of driving I do.

ND to me... but it might be a NP for someone who specifically wants something like this.

It was a little too steep before we got to the salvage title.

I was a reluctant NP until the salvage title thing.  ND.
