So did Porsche!

A microturbine making the 30 kW Techrules claims is certainly possible, though most commercial microturbines, primarily used for electrical power generation, tend to be between 20 and 30% efficient at turning fuel into electricity. Those numbers are about on par with what a piston-based gas engine would be producing,…

I would take manufacturer specifications on oil change intervals with a grain of salt. BMW specification of 10k seems kind of insane to me and may be why there are so many 7 series out there with worn out motors.

The teal Ford Aspire: the quintessential 90's shitbox.

“Is there something wrong with me?”

Or maybe it was too interesting?

Martin Winterkorn: “Where is that pesky Cheat Box?”

It’s in the bathroom. Don’t disturb it.

Oh man. I bet he has the biggest penis.

Lock nuts are pretty useless because they take 5 minutes to take off. A set of 20 lock nuts, however, would take over an hour and would look stupidly suspicious the entire time. Get aftermarket spline drive lugs.

The Sequoia is the car you buy when you want to transport 4'x8' sheets of plywood inside the car with the trunk closed. And because it’s based on a Tundra platform, the plywood lays flat between the wheel wells!

Let us assume for a moment that cars with drivers are slowly being phased out, and within perhaps half a century, we’ll be living with cars we call on demand from our phones... cars without drivers. (Although, as we read before, AI might be considered a driver. But let’s not get buried in semantics.) I’m not saying…

This is not a new idea. I was trying to convince my medical insurance company that the frontal prosthetic silicon bags my wife got were for her safety but they insist its plastic surgery and therefore not covered...

Holy crap I remember being in like... 4th grade and having a stupid class debate of this that ended with a punch being thrown and three people being in detention for like 3 days.

IMHO this is the most beautiful car ever made, just pure sex appeal draped in red. I’d commit a few minor atrocities to get my hands on one.

Being the owner of an LS equipped vehicle - a C5 Corvette - I for one will vouch for all the merits that the GM III & IV gen. small blocks have.

you aren’t going to get LSx horsepower out of a carbureted 350 without some serious trade-offs in driveability and low-end power.

I’m all for these kinds of “resto-mods.” The collectors have basically wrecked the market for old muscle cars (ever seen the auction prices for a Hemi ‘Cuda?) so to me I like the idea of taking lower-trim cars and building them up with modern tech. I saw a guy on some forum who restored a ‘70 Challenger SE, but…
