I did a set of under-hood/tail-pipe (intake left channel, exhaust right) recordings using long mic cables and professional quality microphones with my 164-S that had stebro rear muffler, no center resonator or cat and a K&N filter and modified airbox... I did them on tape with a Walkman D6 many years ago and converted…
My (ex) Volvo 242: b230 with high-comp pistons, big valves, custom cam, a pair of Weber 45 DCOEs and rear muffler only...

JD is a huge multi-national company, they are EVERYWHERE. Ag equipment is every bit as much an international playing field as automobiles, and JD is one of the biggest players. JDs market and technology force can be directly attributable to massive strategic partnerships and mergers throughout the industry. fact of…

so much fun. So little money. Its a great little car.
I have a ‘14 (molten orange, sunroof) and agree about being able attain 26mpg when driving like an absolute maniac, I also agree that at 80mph 35mpg is optimistic at best, but here in Vermont we have lots of twisty two-lane highways where the flow of traffic is closer to 50mph, at that speed I have seen my FieSTa…
I configured mine EXACTLY as you did. I might be able to live without the moonroof, but that Forged wheels and SportCup 2 package is a freaken’ steal, you’d be an idiot not to spring for that.
The amazing thing about those BMWs is just how amazingly long lived they are. I have personally ridden a 2000 R1100RT with 187K miles on it. It ran, rode and generally felt like a 2 year old bike -obviously broken in, but not worn out- The CBX is pretty, and collectible, and will hold it’s value better, but if Riding…
this bike isn’t my style, amazing soundtrack or no, however I know at least two people who would call this NP all day long as they have both paid nearly as much for CBXs that needed work and were marginally un-rideable at the time of purchase. So, NP, just not for me.
Me too. The number of improvised explosive devices I ACTUALLY MADE AND BROUGHT TO SCHOOL in a white, rural, pre-9/11 world would have these people calling for me and my friends to face a firing squad and my family be exiled to GITMO. I fucking hate what we have become as a country in regards to this shit.
Hyundai? Bad interiors? When was the last time you were ina Hyundai, 1992? I love my FieSTa, but the fact is I almost bought an Elantra GT instead based entirely on the vastly superior interior materials, fit and design. Hell, my 2011 Elantra Touring had a better interior than the ST. It really calls your judgement in…
ah, see, there you go, It can beat a “real car” to 60, but it’s not a real car... and why exactly is that? The Model S is NOT as cushy and comfortable as the last S-Class I drove (which was, in all fainess was only a 2005 S430 4matic), nor as silent and wafty as the 2003 Rolls Royce Phantom, but you know what It’s…
Yup. still think that Porsche is prettier. Frankly I never really liked the Rapide, it’s not *UGLY*, but it isn’t my favorite Aston.
I’m not a huge fan of those interior shots/renderings but by god, I do believe thats the prettiest 4-door vehicle I’ve ever seen.
Having driven my boss’s P85 and taken many long roadtrips in it, I have to say this statement is pretty much 100% true. The only people who are able to dis the Model S are people who either haven’t driven it or have so much rabid brand-snobbery in their hearts that they actually think the CLA 250 is a “good deal”
here’s where the important difference in human perception when using l/100KM comes in:
