I didn’t realize snow tires help you see through a cloud of snow and debris. Learn something new everyday I suppose.

Biggest mistake in 2016? Telling the internet that I wasn’t anymore bothered about losing David Bowie, Prince, or George Michael than any other person I’ve never met.

I’d like to see the rear end color matched. I bet it would be half a billion times better if it weren’t brushed aluminum.

They could even sell it as a Del Sol in the states if they’re worried about Americans not having enough nostalgia about the older s model Hondas.

Torch, they don’t actually have a root cause for the failure. They know that they got crystallized oxygen between the aluminum and carbon fiber overwrap as you stated, but they don’t know what allowed that to happen. Their report lists several possible ways it could happen, but they don’t know which caused it. It…

The statistics are misleading because one of they’re catastrophic failures didn’t occur during a launch.

Number 1 is a very good question. Maybe the engine runs more efficiently when you’re not pulling vacuum from the manifold, but since you use your brakes when you’re slowing down (shocking, I know), the engine is just free spinning anyways so engine efficiency is sort of irrelevant. I’m having a hard time imagining how…

Please tell me that’s not a hybrid you’re driving. I get 33-35 out of a 21 year-old z3 with the top down. I can only imagine it’s better with the top up, but I never really do that.

They’re being selective about information. Like you said, their math sounds like it’s assuming you start fully charged and they’re only quoting how much you’d spend at a supercharger.

All the best cars are from Sweden.

All I’ve ever done is say that it’s inappropriate for someone in his position to talk like that to someone that’s part of the community that he is a civil servant to. If I were his boss I’d tell him to tone that shit down, but that’s literally the first time I’ve mentioned anything about consequences and I’m not even…

What am i trying to save face on? My original statement and current argument is still that saying drop dead to a tax paying citizen in his community is incredibly inappropriate considering his position and I’m trying to figure out how someone can possibly think it’s ok. 

It’s not irrelevant (and the logical fallacy you’re looking for is “non sequitur”). Part of the police chief’s job is to communicate the state of management and operations of the department. Messaging to the public is 100% part of his job which is the whole reason he was contacted for comment on the story.

To be fair, Subaru makes more WRXs every couple months than BMW made e30 m3s over its entire production run. That’s a non negligible contributor the skyrocketing values.

If it’s made up, then it’s my local police department making it up.

That’s not a strawman. You said he works for the collective good of the community. Is it good or bad for the collective good for him to respond to one of his citizens like that?

And telling a citizen who has done little wrong to drop dead is good for the collective community, how?

Why are they called NACA ducts? I mean, I know NACA was the predecessor to NASA and pioneered a lot of early aerodynamic research in aerospace, but there are literally hundreds of NACA spec ducts and airfoils and hundreds more that are imperceptibly different to the naked eye that aren’t NACA spec. Is this just…
