I learned to drive with a diesel.  It was a breeze because of all the torque, it was nearly impossible to stall the motor.  It just wanted to pull its way into gear.  Most cars would wheeze and putter out if you’re not on top of the clutch work.

I liken it to driving an electric, because in diesels, it’s all available right off of idle. I can also do the one pedal driving thing too because all that torque can slow the car down significantly in traffic when you let off the go pedal.
BMW ended up increasing the M cars power numbers because the diesels were…

It has an e-diff that cuts out the power if you attempt to do burnouts.  If coded out, you can rip wicked burnouts.  As is it’s powerful but restrained.

The F10 is a great platform. I drive a 6 year old F10 and it’s been a dream.

Before I got to the agency I’m at now, I was working at the tax collector’s office - in the department for delinquent and bankruptcies - so that thought came up a lot.

“I pay X in taxes” is a backdoor way of saying “I pay your salary/I own you” about government officials. As a government employee, I love hearing that phrase. “Good for you” is my usual response.  “I pay taxes too, idiot” is usually on my mind when I hear that.

Agreed!

So this new model Civic is basically the last model Accord, just like every new Civic? Got it...

When my oldest son went for the driving portion of his test at the DMV, it was a sweltering hot day.

It works for them because they limit speed when towing, unlike the US where everyone needs to do 20 over the speed limit even when towing...

here we go again...

The guy he hit isn’t dead at all it was a clone/body double/face swapped with Biden...FALSE FLAG!!
