State Comptroller Atkins gives two thumbs up!

That’s what happens when someone forgets to lock the dieselgate.

It wasn’t a rental, per se, but one time these kids dropped off a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California at the parking garage I worked at. I knew they were probably playing hooky from high school and it was most likely their parent’s car, so me and a buddy took it for a joy ride around the streets of Chicago. There may have

Wait... How’d you get a hold of my ipod?

The hinged windshield could be great for those rugged excursions to soccer practice. Tilt it forward for an unobstructed view of Madison and Jacob out there on the field as you sit in car and sip your latte, avoiding that other mom who is constantly on your ass because you bought non-organic postgame treats when it

I live on a small dead end gravel road about 3 miles from the local KOA. After about the fifteenth truck pulling a camper trailer went by my house this spring I figured one of the map programs was sending people the incorrect way to the KOA. I looked at Google maps and it was correct, but then I looked at the Apple

Japan’s got your back...

Look at all those police Chargers and Durangos. Nice.

As long as the free tickets include hotel ($$$$). I’ve looked into attending a Monterrey event, the tickets are just the beginning.

Literally every car in the left lane, directly in front of me.

as this is the internet, i suspect by this time next year we’ll all be driving down Freeway McRoadFace.

Now playing

Clearly just had the car serviced at Midas.

Its like a combination turbocharger and turbo-compounding device, so the extra energy from exhaust expansion can be put back on the crankshaft. And if its done right, there will definitely be extra energy from the exhaust gas, so at mid-high loads the big rotor will be completely paying for itself and helping to power

Except you aren’t quite correct either. The output of the bigger, low-pressure stage isn’t at the normal exhaust location for a rotary, it’s at the point of maximum compression (where the spark plugs would be in a mazda 13b), so that the smaller, high-pressure engine’s intake stroke is compressed. Then, the exhaust of

Furthermore, as a pump engineer that deals extensively with both liquid pumps and compressors, the lower rotor is definitely an air compressor - aka a supercharger.

But what is interesting about it is that it looks like the lower (compressor) rotor will scavenge exhaust energy though the further expansion of the

This diesel engineer thanks you.

Tip: If it’s only half a worker, he’s not sleeping.

Big deal. I found half of a sleeping UAW worker under the 3rd row of my Traverse.

I love it,and you
