Many companies are guilty of this. Ford Pinto, GM ignition switches, etc

I had that happen with a cheap ass gas store USB power brick. It would make my phone (Galaxy S4) and my wife’s phone (iPhone 5) have a weird touchscreen behavior when plugged in to the charger., where the input was not precise. It was specially noticeable when scrolling through a website.

We don’t get those in America =(

If I have 1 dog and 1 kid, I don’t need a minivan. Minivans are for 3+ kids.

Is it bad that I want one? If I can only have one vehicle (because I live in the city and parking is a PITA, for example) and I have the need for a large vehicle (kids, pets, back issues, etc), I don’t see why having a fun, sporty CUV/SUV is a bad idea.

You mean using LIC or Hoboken as a racetrack?

Probably racing every minivan, school bus and Camry they encounter on the road.

I imagine the Continental V8 will be much cheaper to keep running than the W12. Maybe wait a few years until the V8 drops to the 30-50k range?

Did that clutch fuck his girlfriend? Holy shit, talk about punishment.

Well, it’s better to drive a slow (car/motorcycle/anything with wheels) fast, than a fast (car/motorcycle/anything with wheels) slowly.

I mean, Uber has to find SOME way to be profitable. They’re gonna try the Amazon/Google model where at least some of the products are profitable enough that they can sustain their investments/research/operations when venturing into new opportunities.

Is it the same gearbox for the Mustang and F-150? I would’ve imagined the F-150 one has to be stronger/heavier for towing duty.

It’s simple: cost. They’re splitting the cost of the transmission, and they’ll probably end up using it in similar applications (pony car with 400~650 HP).

I agree, Audi’s rear ends are elegant, simple, yet attractive.

If your commute is 80 miles in traffic, a Prius or another CPO hybrid might be the best option. If you want fun, get a CPO Cadenza/Azera/Lacrosse. Those are comfortable cars that will have enough power for spirited driving.

That’s the thing, most people who want “comfort” probably prefer an SUVs additional space and suspension travel. Luxury non-sport sedans are a dying breed.

You got cockblocked, mate.

In this case, torque is a consequence of the higher rotating mass of the Diesel engine. Since compression ratios are that high, you need the heavy duty components, and that’s what gives diesels the 300k+ mile life you see in Cummins, Powerstrokes and Duramax engines.

Boats stop surprisingly quickly in water the moment you lay off on the throttle.

That was precisely my inspiration.
