The guy with the neighbors complaining of the giant white trailer in his driveway needs to replace it with this.

I’m going to say an automatic transmission is level 0.5 because you only need one arm and one leg to operate an automatic car.

Where does a car that controls its own ignition timing yet requires the operator to select gears and crank windows fall?

By me they participate in noise competitions at every stoplight during the summer months.

These look just like what IL tollway gives out for the Ipass transponders. Whenever I run out I hit the manual lane and tell them I need some for a different car or new windshield and the attendant hands over a few pieces.

The van was probably a RAM Promasterbater

I’m suprised he wasn’t charged for VANdalism

I once hit a snowblower that was in the middle of my lane with my pickup, that did a number on my bumper to the tune of about $800, but was a safer choice than swerving to avoid it and go down a snowy hill into the woods. It was a little snowblower that had just been tossed into the back of a dump truck on top of a…

So a Lamborghini exhaust and Supercharger in the intake. It should be 610hp also based on my math.

It appears they were successful at hiding the event from the Compass owners club (if there is such a thing?(please don’t let there be such a thing)).

I think packaging all that in a “V” shaped engine is the limiting factor more than cost. An inline configuration seems much more conducive to housing all that hardware.

VC-T connected to a CVT for MPG. because Nissan.

Thanks for posting that, my first thought on reading the title was “didn’t Saab try this?”.

How many EPA credits do you get from regenerative suspension? Is it enough to offset NOx pollution?

The slipping it into neutral at a light vs keeping your foot on the clutch is good advice. In addition to saving wear on the throwout bearing it’s easier on the crankshaft because with the clutch in all that force is being transferred to whichever main bearing/journal handles the thrust loads.

I’ve had a lot of fun on snowmobiles and minibikes

How was it with the empty trailer? I know when I towed my empty car trailer with my reg cad, shortbed pickup it was nearly unbearable on some roads, in particular I-43 from Milwaukee headed towards Madison. The trailer gets to bouncing and rocking the truck hard enough I thought I needed a man-bra. Over lots of miles…

I’ve got a very similar trailer, only open in the middle and it’s just over 1800lbs according to the scale at my local scrapyard. 2000 lbs for a solid deck 18' car trailer seems right on the money.

If you look at the rear bumper it has been modified, the exhaust routed different from stock and the hatch looks to be hinged with the back of the ramp all of this has me thinking it’s a homemade mobility van.

I can’t tell if that’s a hitch on the back or some kind of liftgate. This might be an accessibility thing for loading a wheelchair.
