Nobody’s made a CVT yet that can hold up to any significant amount of torque, and even the 4 cylinder in the Mustang is a pretty torquey engine.

As long as there weren’t any unpleasant odors coming from his property, I honestly wouldn’t give a shit. But then, I’ve always been a live and let live kind of guy. Sadly, I’m an extreme rarity.

Miatas are fun in Autocross. Everywhere else... meh.

Only so much air is going to flow through the radiator, which tends to be far more restrictive than any grill designs out there. Opening the grills just creates more drag without any real increase in cooling capabilities.

In all likelihood, you’d have to get approval from Bugatti first, and unless you have a substantial racing pedigree, it’s unlikely that’ll happen, regardless how wealthy you are.

This is a practice that’s been going on forever

There is sooooo much about that story that makes no sense.

The reality was nearly all the list HP ratings for the LS1 4th gens was just marketing. The minor changes they made to the LS1 from the Corvette for the 4th gens had almost no impact on HP. I took my 99 TA to a ‘LS1' dyno day (it was just a promotional thing the local speed shop would run) and every stock LS1…

That’s funny. If you want to save the environment, don’t buy a big ass SUV. Also, don’t have a big ass family (which is the only valid justification for buying a big ass SUV).

A story of somebody getting out of their vehicle in the middle of a public intersection for the sole purpose of giving some other stranger a compliment is NOT a good story. Not even remotely.

You’re comparing speeding to murder and bank robbery. Who’s really being the moron here?

have we devolved to beating people

Man, I’m almost exactly in the same boat. ‘14 Mustang GT paid off just last month, 43k mile daily driver + regular Autocross. I see C5 and C6 Z06s at autocross events all the time and the desire for one is strong. I’m trying to hang on to the Mustang for at least a couple more years of payment free usage, but I…

I got the distinct impression that the couple in the car recording the incident were in some way acquaintances with the Fit driver. And I don’t think the guy in the car was yelling “mad dog”, but the other guys name, though the accent made it difficult to tell.

A baby or a STD are both life-changing experiences.

I don’t see why you think you have to turn around backwards. Step in with the right foot, step in with the left foot, sit down. If you think the steering wheel is in the way, it’s a quick disconnect wheel, and it definitely looks like you need to remove the steering wheel to get in the car.

I would LOVE an amateur auto repair shop next to my home. I’d be over there as often as he’d let me. His neighbors, and everyone like them, can just go fuck off.

that would come with an exorbitant monthly cost

Ambulances and paramedics have all the equipment and training to stabilize all assortment of traumatic injuries, most of which would be very dangerous to transport without stabilization. So you’re getting necessary medical treatment as soon as the ambulance arrives on site, while not risking further injury by…

In almost ALL possible scenarios, an ambulance can get to you FAR faster than you can get to an emergency room.
