Has more torque though :) provided, the rider is around 200 lbs

Ontario-ans unite! Can’t wait to get on the water. We finally got a boat last year!

Where does one learn about boat hill design. It’s harder to find good info for boats, then it is for race car suspension.

Problem is the floor structure if the P85 is made up of the power cells for the car. That doesn't lend itself to small car swaps unfortunately. Although, there is an electric fiat 500 already...

Ouch. Did not know that you guys took a hit like that on health insurance. That is pretty brutal. Our day to day stuff is a little more expensive, and our provincial tax is 13% on basically everything (part of the reason I love visiting NH). I have a feeling in the next 30 years, the US is in for a wake up call, with…

I felt so bad for you guys when Obama care was rolled out he way it was. It was like a parody of universal health care, done to appease preference of libertarians and republicans. You wouldn’t like the taxes we pay though initially, but It does seem like we get a lot more for what we pay then you guys do. The states…

I was worried they were going to do that to me when I was underage drinking in middle Pennsylvania lol

I’m 19 (legal drinking age in Canuk land), and live an hour north of toronto. I wonder if they’ll drive my drunken ass that far :)

“This is a great example of the free market handling “government business” better than the government.”

Awww, your just jelly of our free health care. Its really nice btw, took my buddy in with a broken ankle a few months back to our small, local hospital, and had him checked out shortly thereafter. No need to pay a bill :) But in all seriousness, Jalopnik is no place for libertarian dickheadedness. Lets keep the…

Mazda CX5 with the 2.5, problem solved. Stupid good fuel economy, sporty for an suv, wins shootouts all the time against the subaru, and no headgasket/ spark plug nonsense. We bought a 2.0 when they first came out (literally one of the first few available in Canada. we have 80 000 km on ours. We have had one minor…

I think dropping ones trousers, and yelling GET THE LUBE, THE REPAIR BILL IS COMING!, while running around the showroom Is a more appropriate response in a VW dealership. But that's just me :)

Lmao, only onJelopnik can we talk about the Bernoulli principal being used to suck the pee out of you while driving down the high way. I would like to add the suggestion of avoiding the stream hitting the exhaust. Ain’t nobody like the ammonia stank.

I am performing surgery on a 95 318is starter right now. MOST. HELLISH. REPLACEMENT. EVER. BMW was drunk when they designed it. It's under the intake manifold, which is two parts, and I between those two parts is the main sensor box for the engine. The box doesn't want to move, which is basically the only way to get…

I have a 3 series from the same era. got it for free. $3000 dollars later I can almost drive it lol

I'm well aware of the technique, and alignment set up of front wheel drive cars. They just cannot throttle corner like rwd can (well they can, but its lifting, vs power, which is slower). Not to mention the basic physics of it all mean that the exit speed acceleration, would not be the same for an equivalent rwd car.…

Yikes, glad I'm not the driver. No cornering attitude corrections by throttle.

while humans don't make a huge amount of horse power, They do make a metric shit tonne of torque relative to their power out put. Athletes can put out about a hp for a limited time, but if you put a human on a bike, they can put out a couple hundred foot pounds of torque, at the crank

My car sounds the same right now with its horrible 1.8L noise maker. No muffler while I finish the rear suspension.

suddenly *POOF* money in the coffers. Remember, when its invested, its not actually in your balance, so buy selling for a loss, there is suddenly an extra cool 2.7 billion for you to work with. Its robbing peter to pay Paul in effect. Its all politics
