Obligatory...

That looks super clean. Do it.

MD is actually pretty light on traffic enforcement compared to a lot of places. Ocean City is actively trying to force this event out of town, I bet these guys wouldn’t have nearly as much trouble if they went to OC any other week of the year.

Like a freshman girl at a frat house.

A budget for what? Hans: “Well this tune will pass the EPA test, but the power and efficiency really take a hit. Isn’t there some way we can pass but still get the power and efficiency?” Frans: “Hold on, I need to add a few lines of code. Done”

They have to have a standardized testing procedure so that the manufacturers can test their cars during development and it is hard to standardize an outdoor test. They probably should have added something about doing a real-world test that must be within X% pollution of the standardized test, but this isn’t as easy as…

In MD, you can get your historic plate at 20 years. No emissions, no inspections, and only vague language about limited use. If you get pulled over say you just finished some work on the car and were test driving it and you’re good to go.

944Fest was this weekend at VIR. An awesome weekend with nice people in great cars.

Its not a little more exhaust, it says they are putting out 40 times the allowable level in normal operation. That’s insane.

Yeah, the Fit is the new Civic.

Optional forged wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tires. Oh my...

Plastic impellers I bet.

Yeah, the 2.0 in the Jetta S has a plastic intake manifold. Since when is that a thing?

Did you notice how there was no mention of a bomb squad being called to the school, or explosives sniffing dogs? If they actually thought it was a bomb, those things would have happened. Instead they asked an officer to just come and arrest the kid.

For 20k you can get a brand new Transit Connect for enclosed transport of your bike, plus a much lower loading height than any truck. You can choose folding doors or a liftgate. https://www.truecar.com/prices-new/for…

I don’t really agree with your logic. Mercedes has an F1 team despite being a ‘luxury box’ company. Ferrari competes in F1 even though the engines don’t translate, just because it is the pinnacle of motorsport. Lambo could join for the same reason.

It’ll only hit the .5 really hard. Chrysler has gone all-in with V8s lately like the hellcat and hemi variants, with relatively few small car sales. Ford has gotten pretty efficient with all their small turbo engines and GM sells plenty of small cars to offset a few V8s.

My wife and I both drive our Kia Rondo and are quite happy with it. Bought it as an ex-rental with 38k miles, haven’t done a single thing to it except oil changes and a belt replacement. Now at 110k miles and still hauls the kids and dogs on vacation with ease.

I recently started doing trail-a-bike rides with my daughter also. It is pretty much the best thing ever to hear the squeals coming from behind you. Great idea pointing the camera at her.

Get an old Saturn. They are unloved and made out of plastic.
