The downward pointed exhaust tip is just as popular with coal-rolling bros as stacks. It lets them leave a trail of cancer in the wake of the truck so it always looks like they’re peeling out, rather than trying to block out the sun.

All those examples you quote make between 258 lb-ft and 273 lb-ft of torque, while the Mazda3 2.5t makes 320 lb-ft, at least 47 more lb-ft of torque.

Depending on what the MSRP for this bike is, it could be a way to convince your significant other to let you get a motorcycle.

Bravo, Jessi!

He must own Hyundai of Bel Air, right? Doesn’t want customers seeing the owner driving a non-Hyundai product, so he slapped some badges on a Continental?

What about kick-starting a motorcycle/dirt bike? It is a very gratifying feeling to be able to kick an engine over and bring it to life. With a key in an ignition, all you’re doing is sending power to the starter motor/solenoid, you’re not really exerting yourself in any way.

They’re probably flippers. They built project vehicles from swap meet parts, do a quick respray and then sell it, hoping to make a few bucks to fund the next flip.

I disagree. I’d have saved the RX-7, even though the modifications aren’t to my taste.

The owner chose to save the Ferrari before the FD?

Awesome news, but I imagine it’s going to be expensive for Mazda to triple, or potential quadruple, the number of engines in the 3. In the US they currently only offer the NA 2.5L, but next year they’ll be adding the NA 2.0L, 2.5T and potentially the SKY-X 2.0L? They might run into the problem of offering too much…

The base Wrangler comes with 245 width tires and the Rubicon trim comes with 285s. The 4Runner comes with 265s on all off-road focused trim levels. That puts the Bronco’s tire width right in line with its competition.

I’m contemplating buying a PS4 and a copy of Gran Turismo just to drive this car virtually, I love it so much!

Goggle “Rob Dahm” and prepare to be amazed!

Regarding inquiry #2, hitch for an XC90: after purchasing a hitch through my local U-Haul for my wife’s Jeep TJ and having them install it, I would recommend that option to ANYONE looking to add a hitch to their vehicle.

I don’t think that’s a cylindrical radiator. It looks more like a squirrel cage fan mated to a standard flat radiator. That’s likely the best way to get longitudinal cooling air flow from a mechanically driven fan on a transverse mounted engine. 

That soon?

I’ll use the same response I used on Raph’s story about upgrading his old bike:

When my wife and I bought our first home, we turned the basement into a rental suite to help cover the mortgage (big mistake, tenants were a nightmare). I was trying to be very cost conscious, so I purchased a lightly used fridge and stove off the local classifieds for $450 to put in the kitchen. I was quite pleased…
