CVCC was a stop gap. At the time, I believe it was actually cheaper to implement than a catalyst and came with less operational drawbacks in performance and fuel economy, but the side effect (as can be seen) was higher NOx emissions than with a catalytic convertor, while being lower on everything else. Eventually, it…

I’m not a big fan of the looks of the new Monsters. They’re big and fat and heavy. Far from the Monsters that were more ‘pure’ as a motorcycle years ago. Now they’re overstyled and hideous. It’s like Ducati contracted Kawasaki to design these things. I especially don’t like the flat-ish headlight. And that exhaust…

Eh.... Ducatistas already lost their collective shit when the Diavel first came out.. And at this point, the Diavel is largely forgotten/ignored by Duc fans... So an updated version will illicit some shrugs, but that’s about it... And since it’s already considered just a grab at the wallets of boomer crusier riders, a…

Snoopy certainly did not kill the peanuts. He’s just one of the many parts that changed over time. If you prefer the older strips - great! But don’t label him a murderer just because you do.

I’ve seen places say there were two blasts, a 3t equivalent and a 21t equivalent.

No.

Not a “European person”. You already established he’s English. Not European.

I assume you don’t believe that an AC condenser should have any airflow over it, or that air could be needed to cool electric motors or batteries?

If you’re asking me, this is a tractor. A road going one, but a tractor masquerading as a passenger vehicle. Not being terribly picky, I am happy with this arrangement regardless.

Who cares? My biggest pet peeve about C&C is that people can’t leave pretension and expectations at home. You’ve got people too anal to let people drink coffee near their cars and you have people that can’t understand that someone loves their barely-modified Focus enough that they might want to talk about it with…

A motorcycle

Not sure what’s so funny about it?

I actually liked the GLK, it was angular in a world of Lexus RX/Honda CR-V things, it was more wagon than CUV and like a bigger more luxurious version of a Forrester with brand prestige of MB. This one is all CR-V from the front wheels back and does nothing for me. Also the hood ripples harken to the Chrysler…

The political system is corporate owned. We torture people around the world. We spy on our own citizens using secret laws and secret courts. We have some of the most violent police of any developed country, and the most people in prison.

In other words, Porsche has a perfectly ordinary European commercial vehicle.

To be fair, the Pepsi Throwback, which uses sugar instead of HFCS, is pretty kickass. But yea, I prefer Coke over Pepsi any day of the week

And of course all of our people are spread perfectly evenly. It's not like the coasts have a bunch of huge cities or anything.

They are banned probably for the same reason winter tires are mandated in Quebec rather than just being highly recommended. If your tires/wheels/ride height/suspension are unsuited to the road then your car is unsuited to the road.

I also had an R53 Mini for a while and I couldn’t disagree more with it being on this list. The centre-mounted speedo gets a lot of flack, but do people not realize there was a smaller digital speedo mounted to the steering wheel? What, does a digital speedo not count? Also, the toggle switches that controlled the…

Or you could just get the right package, and put that speedometer on the steering column, where it belongs. That’s how my r53 is set up, and I love the interior:
