In heaven they are designed by Italians, engineered by Germans, and built by Japanese. In hell they are designed by Germans, engineered by Japanese, and built by Italians.

Random people just hang out on the corner to video all the idiots, kind of like all the Nordschleife videos.

I also live in MD, can confirm.

No, these are for holding the rotor on while the wheel is off. There are no threads in the rotor hole, and there is a threaded hole in the hub. The extraction holes are threaded and there is no hole in the hub.

The Focus RS is coming, that can be your wagon. Good luck on the truck. I have a Frontier since it is the cheapest/smallest truck you can buy, though it certainly isn’t small. I daily my 944, taking 2 kids to school/daycare and Costco runs fit under the hatch. Maybe you don’t need something as big as a wagon?

Yes. That is definitely too much to ask.

A big part of that is that the F-series includes like 20 different body styles/trims/etc.

I’m with you. He caused the spin-outs by coming back on course right at the corner exit. Nobody is looking for a car coming out of the bushes.

Depends on the tune. The Focus ST is tuned within an inch of its life, so I wouldn’t count on reliability, but turbos directed toward the mass market should be reasonably reliable.

Man, there really is a stock photo for everything.

Haven’t heard good things about reliability. They also hold their value, so you might have to wait longer for a 50% price cut.

In all fairness, those Buicks were likely developed by Opel, not the other way around.

Plenty of good turbo options in that price range that will still have power at elevation. FiST, FoST, WRX, and GTI are all solid.

MINI is associated with BMW.

I really like Tesla. The fervent fanboy enthusiasm of this article made me not want to like Tesla.

I like how they are bragging about just barely out accelerating a normally aspirated 944. A 944 Turbo would have been impressive.

Hydrogen can be produced with just electricity and water, so it would be possible for homes or fueling stations to make it on-site, significantly reducing infrastructure requirements. Hydrogen production isn’t as efficient as charging a battery right now, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be a more efficient way to do…

You realize that is just steam coming out of nuclear power plants, right?

That isn’t how bonds (our debt) work. We would have to raise our interest rates a bit to entice other world governments to buy our bonds if China stopped. As the old bonds matured we would sell bonds to others instead of China to pay them off.

Deleting rear seats on a sports car is just a consequence of mid-engine designs. There’s no reason a front-engine sports car needs to lose the rear seats unless it has a crazy short wheelbase.
