What are the key differences between WWE style pro wrestling and “reality” TV?

In principle, he would go back to regular active duty, but I assume his previous position at Training and Doctrine has been filled.

Had he taken his inheritance, sold off everything, and put the money in a fund that matched the gains of the S&P 500, he would be worth substantially more than he is now.

I’m sure modern machining techniques could make the turbocharger itself a bit smaller.

I had wondered about the difference. This helped a lot.

SRT392. 450whp strikes me as “enough”, while the Hellcat just seems like too much. Also, I too would insist on a stick, and I can’t imagine what manual shifting would be like in a Hellcat.

It used to be that an automatic transmission cost a significant amount extra. People who could afford it and wanted to stop shifting paid it. That’s not true anymore of course (not least because most cars don’t even have a manual option) but why the heck aren’t they doing the opposite? Make a manual an option on

Not the interiors, but the fit is way more solid and the ride is way smoother than in an older one. All that stuff adds weight (or cost, but these things are cheap).

These may be economy cars, but you still have to actually WANT to get into it to drive it, and you will need to every single day.

Honestly, I appreciate that my $35k STI has the interior of an $18k Impreza. It means Subaru had more money to put into performance rather than wasting it on niceties (though I’m sure a lot of it just went to profit margins). It’s still miles better than the old junker I used to drive, and I don’t really have any

Complete fermentation of glucose in principle only produces etOH and CO2. There are byproducts in the real world, but they are minimal. Acetates give the characteristic scent of essentially every liquor, particularly things which aren’t wood aged or infused (silver tequila, white rum, etc). You don’t remove them

That’s what I see coming down the pike—you don’t own the car, the car owns you.

Not sure about the others, but obesity/diet almost certainly.

Direct injection could probably help keep V8s alive in some sectors. You can shut down half of them for normal driving, then bring them back on when you need the extra displacement. The problem is you’re still driving those pistons even when you’re not injecting fuel.

Fusil oils are a nonissue with clean fermentation sources. There is generally no purification step in the production of distilled alcohol beyond the distillation process itself.

Ford sells a handling pack too. Wonder how RTR’s compares.

Horses eat the same stuff as other livestock, and it’s not an artificial chemical that needs a large specialized infrastructure. I live in hay country: farmers here just put it on the parts of their land where they can’t plant anything else.

I rode in a Z06 at an autoX last fall. I couldn’t figure out how to open the door from the inside or outside. That was in a properly functioning vehicle.

Even if you know what to do, it’s nontrivial. They expect you to do this in an emergency?

BaT had one with an LS last year. That was pretty awesome.
