This headline is fucking bullshit. He wasn’t forced. He didn’t “chug.” He was a drug smuggler and got caught, then took “sips”, not chugs, all on his own.

94 Civic, with mismatched door and replaced unpainted rear bumper.

It’s not much of a build show now since they hardly ever show any of the actual car building anymore, but where did Counting Cars fit into the genre? His particular brand of style aside, I often enjoy how laid back Danny is about the whole process. The budget and making money never seems to mean much to him.

There was already a car build show for those under 60 and it’s called Garage Squad. No six figure builds, just helping to get rides back on the road. I also like Bitchin’ Rides due to the real life timelines and the lack of yelling but I get that others’ tolerance of the fake story lines isn’t as high as mine.

That guy leaving a cylinder head sitting out for you, that’s the real hero of this story. Doesn’t know you from Adam, “sure, I’ve got a spare, I’ll just put it where he can find it, you tell him where to go...”

A Jeep so janky, scientists are still discovering new means of failure.

Nah. He didn’t really get it done (or done well/properly in confidence that it isn’t going to/thus didn’t break very very shortly), knows he didn’t do a good job at it (10psi oil pressure is a quarter or a third of what it should be, and is due to worn bearings). The VERY FIRST few google results for ‘jeep c2a low…

I was about to ask what the cut-off date is for being a dudebro, but apparently it’s something you never outgrow.

But I’m keeping my fingers crossed regardless.

What you say about currents and voltages is untrue. A 12v wound starter would indeed draw half the current of a 6v wound starter of the same capacity (power). However, putting 12v on a 6v starter doubles the current (in your example to 140A). Refer to Ohm’s law: R=U/I, starter motor resistance is 6/70 which is 0,086…

Think connecting a 12V battery to a 6V system might have contributed to that a little?

Would you rather something look cheap, but last forever or attract a ton of attention as it falls apart? Because the modern civics, SI included, have been complete pieces of shit for more than a decade. Cracking engine blocks, problematic transmissions, interiors that fall to shit, failing electrics. Between a 97 and…

counter counter point: lol

Counter point: Guy whose business acumen has led him to become an uber driver criticizes the business strategy of CEO who built a $70 billion company. CEO holds his ground.

I wouldn’t limit to age, but more powerful, sportier car should require a special driving license. It doesn’t make sense that the same license that is valid to a Toyota Yaris is valid to a Ferrari 488 or a Porsche Turbo S.

It’s a bit hard to summon any enthusiasm for a car that is a bit more powerful than a Hellcat and will probably be driven by someone that I consider an asshole.

You know cars have come a long way when a Jeep can holeshot a Lamborghini.

How long till we start renting out our toilets?
