Will with a W8 races an E30

Does ending a long-term live-in relationship count? Because if so, for me it was a FC RX7. And shortly after a W8 wagon. And then an E30.

They are extracting carbon from the ocean as CO2, and it eventually gets re-absorbed as CO2. The carbon neutral argument comes from not converting a hydocarbon trapped in the earth someplace into CO2. No new CO2 is created, just moved around, therefore carbon neutral.

Exactly. That energy to convert the sea water to fuel has to come from somewhere, in this case a nuclear reactor. If the energy came from, for example, a coal fired power plant, it would no longer be carbon neutral. It is just another interesting way to convert and store energy that is very convenient when you have

I've done this multiple times to my friend's s2000. Damn thing has a key you have to turn AND a start button - use the button to turn it on, the key to turn it off. Stupid me keeps trying to use the button to turn it off.

Yep - reading the original source, it says "mil," not "mile."

Panther. Never met anybody who couldn't fit comfortably in a crown vic.

Manual W8 wagon is a unicorn. I spent 3 months searching and only found one in the US before finally settling on an automatic for half the price.

When I bought mine, there was only one manual wagon for sale in the country, asking double what the autos were getting. Ended up with a surprisingly reliable auto version for the price of a NB miata...

Might add a TL;DR: She's about to get a huge raise, to be announced in April.

Even "Hunday" is somewhat incorrect, it's just the easiest pronunciation Hyundai's marketing people could come up with for Americans so we would stop trying so many funny versions. "Hyundai" is spelled phonetically, but the "hyun" sound doesn't really exist in English so we Americans get to use a slightly wrong but

Not jeep, engine is pointed the wrong way. Unless its one of their CUVs, in which case solid axle seems wrong. Can't find a Toyota that really fits either, and they're the only ones I know that run a front exhaust like that. Maybe there's a rear exhaust I'm missing and thats a V6, not a I4..

Inline transverse moung engine with the exhaust in the front says Toyota, but the solid rear axle is throwing me off. Transverse engine, struts, and AWD says sedan/CUV, but that solid rear axle has got to give something away.

The jumpiness with the potentiometer system comes with having to sense what teh driver wants. But the mechanical link never goes away, or gets overridden. It only gets "assisted." If you resist the wheel hard enough to overcome the strength of the motor, the wheels will not turn.

I already posted this elsewhere, but for #1: Throttle by wire and shift by wire are here, and although brakes and steering may be actuated by the computer, the brake pedal will always have a direct mechanical link to the caliper, and the steering wheel will always have a direct mechanical link to the hubs. Anything

Throttle by wire and shift by wire are here, and although brakes and steering may be actuated by the computer, the brake pedal will always have a direct mechanical link to the caliper, and the steering wheel will always have a direct mechanical link to the steering wheel. Anything else is unsafe, and in direct

Big regulatory issue on that one. Gas pedal and shifter can be drive by wire, and generally are, but brake and steering are required by law to be mechanically actuated, or have a fully mechanical failsafe.

I like going the exact opposite route. Sticky tires make the car faster, but not more fun. Put some absolute crap on there you pick up on craigslist or the used tire lot. The tire will be much more forgiving than sticky rubber, meaning you can go sideways all day without getting into trouble. They make less grip,

I like the way you think. Searching Pitot tube kits now.
