Not pictured, the biohazard bin.

Really though? For years those with the means have been happily giving the keys to powerful cars to teens. Some have the responsibility and experience to handle them, some don’t. That’s how Darwin works.

When there is a sudden rash of incidents involving a certain manufacturer, be it tesla, ford and the explorer, chevy and ignitions or what have you it’s their job to investigate.

You do realize that in a way, your comment is not unlike what the officer did? He may have been inexperienced with animals and jumped to a conclusion and acted like an idiot.

Yup, it’s an Audi.

We don’t know when it got swapped but I’ve leaning toward as soon as it became questionable since this car put food on the table. I was under one last weekend doing an alignment and while it was quite impressive, it still was a car driven in the northeast and had the normal issues.

Exactly. Those parts were swapped out as soon as they became questionable mainly because that car made them money. Yeah it got flogged but there is a HUGE difference between a Avis rental and a ‘ring rental.

Fun but I’d think quite a bit tippy. Then again we have a Suzuki samurai that we use as a farm truck upstate and it had a bad rap for being tippy. Yeah I’d never want to drive it at highway speeds and have to do an evasive maneuver but that damn thing goes anywhere on the mountain.

I think subaru also used it to help cool the turbos after shutdown helping the issue of oil cooking in the bearings and causing issues.

I’m going to need a minute...

It’s not about considering absolutely every situation, it’s about shrinking the window of failure in a closed environment before introducing it into a real world situation.

Is it bad that I’m pretty sure that’s the tailpipe of a GC subaru in the lead image? My guess is a RS from the exhaust tip and the rear spats.

After going across alligator alley and then doing 12 hours of driving from Ft Lauderdale to Virginia in a Holden badged SS my feelings are this.

Well it does depend on your driving ability. I’ve had TC put me in bad situations on the road. Some have been because of the conditions and some are just it interfering when I don’t expect it. I grew up without the nannnies and I’ve been tracking cars without them for years. I’m not saying they are a horrible thing…

Yet there are those that think the dashboard is an ottoman.

Someone I know that was a track instructor, though a newly minted one, thought that.

The best theory I heard was if the obstruction is small enough to be an appetizer, don’t make an evasive maneuver. If it’s large for a dinner for two, avoid it.

Driving with both feet will blow up your car.

Well, you can if you’re gentle and don’t shift it like a dogbox. Gentle pressure and you can shift without the clutch. Is it the best idea? Probably not but very possible.

Diesels have had turbos and superchargers and some both on them forever. They need them in order to make power because of the diesel combustion cycle. Sure you can have a NA diesel in a generator or a tractor but in order to make usable power for highway speeds and heavy loads you need forced induction. It’s more the…
