One big problem when being robbed at gunpoint (which I have been, several times, most recently a couple of weeks ago by a group of teens the oldest of which was 17) is you basically have to hope they aren’t willing to shoot you over not beign caught stealing 10 bucks or a cell phone. So if you are armed, you’re…

When Mexico builds a bridge by allowing free flow of people over their southern border I will help build one here.

RACISM CARD DEPLOYED. ADD 100 GAWKER POINTS. YOU HAVE ATTAINED SJW LEVEL 5.

These are superb cars. I’m a dealer mechanic for Maserati and if I tell you these are good cars, they’re good cars. Remember, when one only sees broken examples of a marque from day-to-day, their perspective tends to get somewhat jaded but seriously, we see VERY FEW problems on the GT. Sure, you’ll run into occasional…

you travel a lot and bought a VW? Bold move.

DAS (anti kidnapp department) here in Brazil is a very competent unit. Since the case was important, I had no doubt they would catch the thieves. 2 were caught and the mastermind are going to be catch also, Its just a matter of time...There is a Brazilian version of COPS here and you can see the are very experienced…

This just in: Criminals make poor decisions, often lack common sense.

Must have been trying to keep up with a brand new v8 Camaro with the 1LE package.

It’s funny that some publications choose to “Trump” up charges against political opponents, but are far less inclined to address the shortcomings of the ones they like. It’s really interesting to note that even a car blog can take part in this sort of shenanigans.

Hat tip to your screen name as well.

Check this out; it’s the best Top Gun spoof this side of Hot Shots:

Nope. We’re either a sovereign country with borders to be respected, or we’re not. Irrespective of what cargo it is those subs are carrying, they’re design purpose is to defeat US Customs.

You’re the same guy that thinks the new Mustang looks like an Accord right?

The gauge is better than nothing but you're not starting with a vacuum on the system. You're injecting refrigerant into one side while the other side is closed. So the gauge is reading the previous pressure which could be the atmospheric pressure then the additional refrigerant.

Also, because it means the system wasn't fully vacuumed out. You need to remove as much of the possibly moist air from the system as possible before adding refrigerant in order to make sure you've got nothing but refrigerant and lube in the system. Any air reduces the effectiveness.

Each car’s system has a refrigerant capacity. A professional ac machine connects to the high and low side and evacuates the system then refills to the correct level. The machine should also inject PAG or Mineral oil into the system for lubrication. New cars have smaller and smaller capacities and a pressure switch…

Yeah it’s a real 1/2 solution. Not bad anywhere, not stellar anywhere either. Problem is the american consumer would rather have something amazing in one area and not that good in others.

Manufacturers prefer turbos because it allows them to game the EPA drive cycle to produce false ratings.

BMW uses these as well and there were a few 335s that I recall from the forums being delivered with them still installed. I don’t think there would be any long term damage from them still being on the car while it was driven. Unless you enjoy taking jumps in your GTI like a certain raptor truck video.....
