I would actually get very miffed even if it was the 2000 Honda Accord that I drive into work.

That was your experience in your area, but that does not apply to the rest of the country. Try growing up in a rural area where school is 20+ miles away if you take the interstate, where bikes are not allowed. The
only other roads are 2 lane highways full of blind corners where getting hit on a bike is only a matter…

That business model does exist in the form of junkyards. However, why buy "good" cars when there are enough "bad" cars to buy for a fraction of the price. I think your average mileage is a bit off as well. I currently DD a 2000 Accord with 239k on the odometer. The car was built in August of 1999 which means it has…

Fuck the Eagles.

That issue was fixed for the latest model Camaro. All it takes is a single button press with no prep. In fact, I believe that you can even do it from the keyfob. I am pretty sure I can recall Todd Christensen opening the convertible top without even being in the car at Camaro 5 fest in Bowling Green last summer.

The RS has always been an appearance only package.

A Cruze hatchback is coming.

Pun intended?

I only have my own experience to speak of, but of the people I know with iPhones more have shattered their screens at least once than have not. Not a single person with a Samsung phone that I know has shattered a screen, myself included.

You are mostly correct, but I do want to add that thyroid issues can lead to obesity even with diet and exercise.

Touche. I am really curious about the V6 1LE that is coming out. I currently have a ZL1, but I came back very impressed with a rental V6 that I had for a few days. It is a very capable car that would really shine with a nicer suspension. I wouldn't trade in the ZL1 however.

They will be making that car. It will be the SS 1LE.

I have owned my ZL1 for a little over 3 1/2 years, and I still get giddy every time I start it up.

The heat exchanger may only be one part of the system, but it is the only way in which heat is removed.

The cars have a factory water to air to water intercooling system. I believe what they are adding is a new water to refrigerant evaporator tied to the existing AC compressor.

The only way NASCAR cars haven’t changed in the last 50 years is the fact that they have 4 wheels and a pushrod V8 engine. They also happen to resemble street cars if you look at the silhouette. The chassis has been constantly tweaked, and they now run fuel injection. They also aren't simple technology. It is not easy…

I however know of people using the AC Compressor to chill water that is being used to chill the intake air. People are achieving below ambient temperatures downstream of superchargers/turbos.

It can act as a sort of traction control for coming out of corners. When you first start to accelerate out of the corner your brakes will be hot. This will heat the intake air which will help bring power levels down. As the brakes cool off when you exit the corner you will gain your power back as the intake air comes…

2nd Gear: So Toyota is trying to bring a sportiness that has been lacking in the brand for the better part of a decade and is going to debut it with crossovers?

What is your overall opinion of the G8 GT? I am really curious about the slight chance of picking one up in a year or two. I currently daily a 2000 Accord.
