Kids nowadays. If he'd only taken his time to reinforce the truck and practice driving he could have taken out sooo many more cop cars.

So far everyone is leaning on the lifted truck. But to me only the ridiculously lifted and meticulously detail one's are sometimes BroMobiles.

@87CE 95PV Type Я: I did not know that. My opinion of New Hampshire has improved considerably.

@FormerlyTheGreatestDriver: First off, let me say that if there was a car that I really wanted and it only came in RHD(such as with the Skyline) I could get over it. Then at least I would have a genuine excuse for destroying a perfectly good transmission with my left hand.

@Quattro-luvr: So it's more of a nostalgia thing and not some kind of perceived advantage. I just figured I'd ask cause the only other person I've met that thought RHD(in a LHD country) was cool couldn't form a coherent sentence and I just wanted to get away from him.

@Quattro-luvr: Can you please explain to me why RHD is cool? I'm just...not....seeing it. To me it just seems like a huge pain in the ass and I'd feel like a douche everywhere I go.

@cobrajoe - Proud Minardiate: Well if you could actually get that engine to work it might have better fuel consumption than a rotary due to a smaller chamber surface area. But it's kind of a moot point since they haven't been able to get it to work for the past 40 years.

@cobrajoe - Proud Minardiate: You're right, you could gear a 5hp Briggs to pull a 10 ton trailer but it would be painfully slow due to only having 5hp. But, if you had a turbo CBR600 engine making 1oolb-ft of torque at 16,000rpm it would have 305hp. And if you geared that and a 305hp diesel to run at peak hp while

@cobrajoe - Proud Minardiate: Ok, you're honing in on it now, hard to believe that something that seems so simple is actually very complex.

@cobrajoe - Proud Minardiate: Ok, you pretty much repeated what I said in a much more elaborate fashion until the last paragraph. Hp IS torque, with the added variable of RPM. The easiest way to think of it is that Hp is a measure of energy so the more energy you have the faster you can go, simple right?

And the misunderstanding of Torque Vs. Hp continues. Give me a 3/4" break over bar and I'll give you 765 lb-ft of torque, but I'll still top out around 1.2Hp(probably less, I'm in bad shape). Not that having a ton of torque is a bad thing it's just not a good indicator of a vehicle's maximum potential. However, it

Heh, I used to have a Titan with the outside temp on the rear view mirror. One morning it started flashing the error code ICE... Yeah it was the first time I'd driven it in the winter. I guess I'm too used to crappy electronics spitting out error codes. If I was used to eating bacon all the time I'd probably

This guy is not a car enthusiast, he's a brand enthusiast. And that's not a garage, it's a fancy parking lot. It makes me sick.

@RickAKATed10: I hate wagons but I love Jalopnik and Jalopnik loves wagons.

Love the color, my Bugeye Sprite used to be that color.

@Andrew Melvin: As an American and in particular a Texan, that statement goes against everything I stand for. I would seriously go mental if the goverment so much as touches my car. And if they seized and crushed it then people would get hurt, physically hurt.

Obviously crack. I still voted NP though for two reasons. First, a v8 in a beemer is bound to piss off beemer lovers and that's generally a good thing. Second, that V8 is not SB Chevy which is always nice to see.

@flat_tar: You obviously don't understand rally racing.

I could have told you that Niday is an arrogant, amateur hating prick. NASA Rally Sport is sooo much better! Unfortunately for me all the closest rallys to Houston are with RA. :(
