That seems to be the case, as you and many others have pointed out. I know very little about what tanks come standard on a go-kart.

Is that really the best you’ve got? Nothing changes from the outside, especially a fairly isolated organization like our military. The only way to affect that change is from the inside, and the larger and more vocal the group to do it, the faster it will change.

Actually, women being drafted could be the quickest way to solve that issue. The best way to blow the lid off of a problem like that is to add fuel to the fire, and if a drafted happened and women were drafted at equal rates of men, that would be a hell of a lot of fuel.

How is this “middle school fuckery”? This is a great moment for feminism, as now women are truly a man’s equal. They can even be called upon, mandated to fight and die for their country right beside men doing the same.

Well hey, supposedly they’re just as “combat capable” as a man, per many sources. So yeah, why not?

Depends, riding mowers moving at full speed? Then yes. Push mowers cutting grass that is high and/or wet enough to almost bog it down? Yes.

I know of quite a few home-built and store bought simple go-karts with 5-8hp Briggs lawnmower engines that do just fine, and regularly reach speeds of 30-40mph.

But I’m pretty sure I remember an article from not too long ago comparing the 3.5EB to the 5.0L F150 while towing, and showing that the 5.0L towed the same loads on the same route simultaneously beside the 3.5L EB, and yet the 5.0L returned better MPGs.

Exactly my thoughts, I’d like to see comparisons of fuel usage while outputting 5hp with this 70cc engine and a conventional 5hp single piston Briggs.

Actually I was just looking for options, as I know there are several. Somewhere along the middle ground of price, effort, and actual net effect gained.

Sure! I’m currently working on a C3 project (with no rust!), hoping to to do some stupidly awesome things to it.

No one ever accused you of being smart, did they?

Oh right, you mean that one R&T article where they put larger, wider lightweight racing wheels, and ultra-performance summer tires on the FRS/BRZ, while leaving all the other models stock, and then claimed it was superior?

Wow, it looks like the schools aren’t teaching you kids reading comprehension like they used to. How do you like that common core?

By that flawed logic, then the Camaro shouldn’t sell 35,000 units in 5 months, and the Mustang shouldn’t sell over 50,000. Why did the Lexus RC, which adds luxury to that niche market, sell almost as many units as the FRS and BRZ combined in the same time frame? Why did the BMW 2-series sell 25% more units than the…

Pffffft, I actually like that little thing.

I thought that was the entire point? You know, the whole “sleeper” bit?

It doesn’t matter. If that is what was advertised and promised, then that is what I should get. It should be there, ready to be used whenever I desired it, and whether that it 5% of the time or 100% doesn’t make a damn.

And how does that matter if you can’t buy a car from the factory that way?

My stats were from the same source, and were from this current year, not prior years.
