Every time you see someone rolling coal, remember they’re just trying to lowed their NO_x emissions (higher particulate, lower NO_x, higher NO_x, lower particulate)

Will it wheelie?

This is a very cool twist on this older version from Chrysler from back in the 70’s. Called the sno-runner. I had a co-worker that owned 2 of them. Very cool to ride, all though a little dangerous. Has to be the perfect conditions to ride it.

34 MPG Highway... not the best screwed together car, but fun.

And then you realize that if you live in an even moderately populated area that there isn’t an available FM station to use.

Holy shit! I didn’t know you could do that! Do they have variants for regular fuel?

Given the advantages to the manufacturer from reduced emissions standards, and reduced crash safety standards? Every last one of them.

The late-80’s-era Cadillac “A/C cheat”. The EPA didn’t require OEMs to engage the A/C during tests, so GM calibrated the PCM to idle lean during with the climate control off, knowing that almost everyone would actually just set the climate control to “AUTO”.

Toyota Rally cheaty turbo

Vintage electric motor smell.

So this GM thing is pretty much as I explained it and caught grief here on it quite some time ago. Without the public having experience with engineering change notices, field failures, field service issues, and so on it is easy for various people to play things up into a vast evil conspiracy when really all it comes…

I haven’t heard anything quite like the sound a Quadrajet makes when the secondaries open up.. BOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

i really like the ram over the Ford. the interior is way nicer and the extra gears really help when loaded down. Also the tigershark engine is a beast and the ford is GUTLESS.
