Also, Jalopnik being its own little fiefdom is probably the only place on Kinja where almost every one is fairly reasonable, logical and emotionally balanced. I go to other areas of Kinja with popcorn in hand, and usually leave with a little less hope for humanity.

Your reasonableness urks me! I like my science applied, and my sea worlds turned into race tracks gosh darn it! (I am an automotive engineer after all, and I’m only mostly kidding)

A fighter pilot isn't an average human being either

I’m 5’11”, 140 lbs on a heavy day, and a competitive cyclist. my step sister is a certified nutritionist, and she can attest that I am not underweight. You have obviously not spent much time around sport that involv speed, as there is a million of us string beans, at any given event

I’m 5’11”, 135 pounds on average, and have been an extremely competitive cyclist in the past at those weights. It’s called being a string bean, with a ridiculous metabolism.

Friction =/= surface area, friction = coefficient of the materials X the force acting upon them. But ya, those tires do look like econobox tires on it.

Not to mention the much tighter engineering, coatings, and optimization for light weight, performance and reliability.

Bonus points for jounce being worked in

Mazda sky activ cars. Super easy to get at errythang. Even easier than my 95 318is

*sniff, sniff* #1 is so true right now it hurts. I’m almost done my E36, after having rebuilt every suspension component, Fuel system overhaul, Brake system overhaul, replaced the starter on an M42 (this is beyond horrible, rust repair is more fun), reassembled the interior, all the regular maintenance, and rust…

Buy a big socket set with 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 ratchets, uv adapters for those, and some extensions. You can now do 90% of the stuff that you normally need to do. Other tools can be borrowed from part stores/ bought overtime. . Start by doing regular maintenance on your car, like brakes, air filters, oil changes. If you can…

Lol, have fun feeding them then.

I think it’s best to stop feeding buddy here. Who knows, perhaps he is the wards attorney, and he’s trying to find debate points by using the jalopnik collective. He certainly is debating like someone protecting a client.

Ha! I even sing to the same intonation

That one is going on your TRACK record

Hopefully they built those bridges with firestones.

I love old weapons of war. Not for what they were used for, nor what they represent, but for their engineering. I'd love and old Mauser, and an old Luger. Too bad stg44s are so expensive.

Derp, its Cayuga, Still in Ontario, Canada though :)

Methinks Shannonville raceway in Ontario, Canada?

I completely agree. There is so much idiocy on a lot of those pages that I have basically stripped my subscriptions to the most technical to avoid the Neanderthals. I have to say the muscle car scene hasn’t been the most to welcoming I’ve found. Mostly crusty old men. The younger owners seem the be a little more…
