Show me testing backing your statement; I looked for and couldn’t find any.

Ostensibly a pretty BMW from before when they got unnecessarily complex, but I’m certain unnecessary complexity will raise its head from somewhere under the engine bay of this pretty coupe with the Habsburg chin.

Subaru EJ25.  I loved the Forester.  I hated its engine.

My wife used to live next door to the local AAA lockout guy. He described a couple of calls:

When the battery is full up and you’re not pressing the accelerator very hard, you can get up to about 44mph before the engine comes on irrevocably.

You are far overestimating the capability of the hybrid system. The engine is running about 90% of the time if not more.

Yeah, that got an “oof” from me.

This is a common fallacy. AWD do not stop better than any other kind of car. What makes the difference is the braking system itself, the brakes, tires and skill of the driver.

Your point being? No matter how many wheel drive you have, the brakes are on all four wheels.

Brake pads aren’t “missing” unless they were supposed to be there in the first place. Ergo, brakes were on the wheels, poor construction notwithstanding.

Back in about 1985 or so, my dad and I reinstalled the engine in Mom’s Opel GT. Doing that required jacking the car about three feet into the air, rolling the engine with the tranny attached under the car, and then raising the engine into place. It. Was. A. Job. But we had also taken the carburetor completely apart

Oh yeah. Not only is this car not like that car, this car isn’t like that other right there that is apparently exactly like this one. Each one has its own little nuances.

TIL a Diablo has magically become “vintage.”

Or you could just, you know, put that much effort and energy into doing something legal.

I’d love to have rail service. Rail is so much more efficient than flying or driving! It’s just

Please let it be that he forgot the /s.

Twenty years?  More like 40.  That was making the rounds when I was in middle school.

All manner of clickbait BS I keep seeing pop up. One day I saw one clickbait article saying, “If you see a water bottle wedged into your car tire, call the police immediately,” and less than an hour later on the same site, another one titled “Always leave a water bottle wedge in your car tire, here’s why,” and I
