Oh c’mon that meme is five words long and it can’t even get the line right?

(awaits “actually that’s off the road”)

Well in fairness it did eliminate itself from the market.

Dude, it’s .008 liters away from being credulously roundable up to 5 liters. For God’s sake some of BMW’s cars are more than a liter away from their names now.

What’s absurd about the Edge is it’s a round amorphous eggSUV, and at the exact same time, Ford is making this:

Literally every single thing you wrote was just pulled out of your ass and presented as not only fact, but well-known fact that apparently massive shitloads of people (and the vast majority of the climate science community) are ignoring.

As much as that first “sentence” pains me, I have to recommend this post just so it gets up there and people stop being mad about half the story.

Because speed is fun, and more speed is funner.

Dude, do you do this a lot? (the trying to make people look stupid thing)

It’s because since 4 wheels are no longer doing the braking (only the front 2 worked) the fronts were way more likely to lock up while trying to stop.

Jesus, they make some really nice cars for having such a terrible website.

Touché, and well done.

I added stuff to clarify in the post, so you’ll have to refresh. The edit function locked out at 15 mins so I’ll add a bit more:

This is going to make me sound like a dick, but: I think you may have just BS’d a lot of that. Everything I wrote is widely accepted motorcycle engineering. It’s easy to latch onto a word or two and go “oh that’s not right” because of semantics but that’s all common knowledge I put up there.

And that Tahoe will be dirt when this thing’s still running. I don’t think you know what things are.

“We fucks you ups, Lebowski” disagrees with you.

It centralizes mass. Think about any weight behind the steering pivot (the steering head at the triple clamps) being a long lever of weight. The farther back that engine/trans package is, the farther out on that lever the weight is, and that magnifies the pendulum effect back there in transitions, especially if you’re…

Was thinking the same thing. I totally did that a few times with my Hawk 2. Until it snapped a dogbone on the rear axle and I was too poor to fix it. No idea where that truck is now but I could totally afford to fix it now. Damnit.

Front heavy? For handling the ideal is to have the majority of the weight just behind the front wheel on a bike. The closer, the better.

Maybe, but what sucks is it sounds like they revved it to maybe 7,000rpm. Know how high-pitched banshee-wailing a Ferrari flat-plane V8 sounds? Those things are only spinning 8,000rpm max, and their V8s anywhere from half a liter to 2.5 liters bigger (and theoretically deeper sounding) than this, yet they scream like…
