Popular Mechanics is a good source for tomorrows Jalopnik stories as well.

I’m in complete agreement with you. I do this all the time. I spot something and decide it’s not worth saving so I smash it more. Old lady’s house with the falling in porch, smashed. That old desk sitting by a uhaul, smash. That lawnmower looks like it don’t run right, smash. A person with late stage cancer, smash.…

I’m familiar with the test, those people had no idea what they were doing when they built that Coyote, it is a terrible package. The camshaft and intake manifold choice was awful.

The Reuters article does a great job politely explaining the rampant zenophobia of Honda’s Japanese culture. If technology doesn’t come out of HGT (Honda Japan) it doesn’t count. HRAO (honda in raymond Ohio) has come up with amazing advances, that got tossed away because Bakka gaijin created it. HRAO had Honda’s first…

I love to bash chevys at every turn and the LS all the things crowd annoy the shit out of me, but to say the current LS isn’t high tech just because it is pushrod is naïve in the extreme.
all aluminum, modern heads, modern fuel system, modern electronics, ridonkulous HP, light and dimensionally small. OHC =/= high tech.

Almost, but not quite.

Big deal. I found half of a sleeping UAW worker under the 3rd row of my Traverse.

“I think... um.... maybe... I’ll buy this really fancy... um.. F1 piece of technology and um... put it on my Lamborghini for no real logical reason... um... because.. F1 technology. It must...um...be better, yah?”

The M5 pictured in the OP is an E34 M5, which also had an S38 inline-6 engine:) The E39 went to the S62 V8.

Unpopular opinion time. The best M5's had 6 cylinder engines.

If you are in a jam and really need a car, go to craigslist, set max price to whatever you have in savings, and search “Honda” and be done with it.

To me there are two types of engineers:

Was on FSAE team. Trained new members. Can confirm.

How are you not getting more stars for this?!?!

Prolly had a visit from McLaren’s version of Father Christmas:

It may not be all that much of a mystery...I’m (sort of) in a business of fixing things, and I found some things just want to stay broken, and in that case there’s really not a whole lot you can do to fix them. On the other hand, there are things just keep on going for no good reason whatsoever - but I found that…

Oh something positive has happened for McHonda? QUICK BETTER FIND A WAY TO CRITICIZE THEM ANYWAY.

Good strategy: give up. You’d make a great team leader.

They should switch to an Acura engine. Get that 5-10% boost in power they’ve been needing so badly. /s

You say: McLaren only completed 16 laps on the first day.
