I've read all of the responses in this story, and I've been thinking about systems security with respect to the car this whole time. Your post does the closest thing to addressing this.

Stef, you didn't have to mention that this picture came from a 944. I'd recognize this tach anywhere. It actually makes me sort of nostalgic (except for the constant wheel bearing and CV replacements, the over-engineering resulting in so many freaking electrical failures, the exploding rubber centered clutch, the…

DEFINITELY! My NB Miata was equipped with a gauge, but it wasn't a gauge. It actually only worked as a toggle. If the oil pressure was dangerously low, it would read zero, otherwise it was constant. A very stupid design. I only caught the pressure gauge at zero as I was exiting a high-g turn and the scavenge pump…

A very large and bright light is a pretty good idea for pil pressure on a track car. I know this from experience :/

Funny, that is exactly what I have tattooed on the back of my eyelids...and on the inside of my glasses.

How is this related to private prisons?

Yes, the Audi S4 Avant has this feature.

Great explanation. Thanks for taking the time to write it!

I can accept that. I'm not saying that the original Corvette is the same as the original. The point I was trying to make is to counter the original statement suggesting that the 911 has been the same car for 50 years, and then point to the Corvette as something that has really changed. It seems absurd. Sure, the…

I'm echoing Skeffels' comment that the first amendment only protects citizens speech from the government. It does not prevent employers or other organizations from creating and enforcing their own policies regarding speech and expression. So in short, yes - we really can fire someone for exercising their right to…

While it appears that Thomas Banks is an insufferable douchebag, he may have a case. The policy cited in his termination is against disparagement of a protected group. I'm not sure that people who are LGBT are technically a protected class in the state of Michigan. According to this article, Michiganders who are…

FWIW, I'd contend that the latest 911 has almost nothing in common with the original, except that it houses a horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine behind the rear wheels. That's it. The dimensions (as well as suspension design, let alone the dynamics of the chassis) have changed so much that the 991 has more in…

I can't speak for what I can guarantee, but I'll tell you what can; the law. In this case, the manufacturer and the dealer are responsible for that (and really, it comes down to the manufacturer).

Great post! The Lemon Laws are different in every state (not sure if you were in NJ or elsewhere). Another poster suggested this too. Being a nerd and being interested, I looked up the NJ Lemon Law and posted this reply. I'm guessing that you know WAY more about this than I do from just reading an informational…

I just read the NJ Lemon Law (or a pamphlet on it). It sounds like this case isn't really a go for the lemon law (yet). Essentially, the owner needs to send a registered letter to the manufacturer and dealer giving them 10 calendar days from receipt of the registered letter to make one last effort to solve the…

With the wide rear tires and lack of low-end torque on the 2.7 RS motor, those cars just squat down and load up on a burnout. If that were the case, that would just be clutch smoke, my friend :)

6 minutes around NYC? If only Afroduck had known about this earlier, it would have saved him so much trouble!

LOL. I seriously considered getting pedantic and saying L-twin, but I figured that the average Jalop wouldn't mind me taking that liberty.

This means that you've got a 1973 Carrera RS. You know that you're not burning coolant due to a head gasket issue because your car is not water cooled.
