One of the most basic beliefs of Christianity says you are to literally preach and spread Christianity. Many refer to it as the “Great Commission”. This is best summed up in Matthew 28:19-20. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy…

One can not approve of everything a person does and still not hate the person.  The world is not that black and white.

The court has also ruled that abortion is legal and so are privately owned guns.  However, you still have factions of people, and some governments trying to make both of those either illegal or extremely difficult.

I have seen an original NSX only a handful of times, but every time I see one I am shocked at how small of a car it is even by sports car standards. This is especially evident in this shot where the new car seems to be looking over the old.

They can say that the tune led to premature failure of the component in question because it is no longer under factory specifications. They can also drag out approving the work in hopes you give up because in many cases a lawyer is more expensive than the repair.

I personally know several people who have non 1LE ZL1s with the 10 speed. I have yet to hear 1 complaint. One guy swapped in twin turbos and is running high 8s in the quarter mile. He hasn’t even touched the transmission besides putting in a bigger stall. Another one has bewildered several track day instructors who…

And Ford is using a GM derived suspension with the magnaride they now include on certain mustang trim levels.  They all share a lot of tech these days.

I wish the snow tire people would at least acknowledge this. I understand that snow tires are superior. But I am from Kentucky. We can have 2 inches of ice on the ground one day and 65 degree weather in 3 days. In fact, it snowed several inches this past weekend. It was in the upper 40s earlier this week. The high…

Where did you get your 45 mph number from?  Many cars are geared to run much higher speeds.  In fact, 45 mph would actually have reduced fuel economy in some of my cars because they would never be able to operate in their highest gear.  You have now made Interstate travel much more dangerous by making driving that…

I think your statement of Time Anxiety is far more realistic than Range Anxiety these days.  Even as charging locations become more plentiful, it still takes more time to charge than to refuel.

In some cases the electricity is more expensive than the fuel. I am seeing reports of Supercharging stations charging upwards of $0.36/kwh. That is the equivalent of $105.51/MMBTU. Standard calculations for gasoline are 114,000 BTU/gallon. Gas at $3/gallon comes out to $26.32/MMBTU. Now gasoline engines are far less…

The CTS and Malibu have nothing in common.  They are on completely different platforms.  Save the XTS which IS a gussied up Impala, and the Camaro which was built on the Alpha platform after the introduction of the ATS and CTS, Cadillac cars have mostly been on brand exclusive platforms.  CUVs/SUVs are a different…

Actually I wasn’t opposed to the idea.  However, my wife was adamant that we would not have a minivan, even though I would be the one driving it everyday.

I sure hope they increase interior volume with this new model. I was in the market for a 3 row SUV a year and a half ago and tested out Explorer Sport. The power delivery was awesome, but the interior was totally cramped, and I did not like the Sync system at all. My wife who is a petite 5'2" felt cramped in the…

Not quite exactly. The engine and supercharger rotate at a fixed ratio to each other. Here is a very simple example assuming full efficiencies and no temperature change factors. Let’s say that the supercharger rotates 5x faster than the engine. That means that for each engine rotation that calls for 6.2L of air the…

Would be more fitting on a CTS.

Nope. Engine displacement and supercharge displacement are calculated by how much air is moved per rotation. For an engine it is calculated by Pi/4*Bore^2*Stroke*# Cylinders. This is basically the difference in volume between top dead center and bottom dead center of the cylinder. Supercharger displacement is…

Precisely. One of my friends moved to a new city a few years ago. When we visited him he was bragging about all the things you can do where he lives. His wife then cuts in to let us know that he has never done a single one of those things and still does the exact same things outside of work that he did before they…

You are comparing apples to oranges. That $90k base 911 is nowhere near the same class of car as the $140k ZR1. The ZR1 is built off the base Corvette which starts around $60k. The ZR1 is a performance package, not an interior appearance package.

20k brake fluid replacement?! My Acadia says every 5 years.  My wife’s CR-V says every 100,000 miles.  My Camaro says every 150,000 miles or 10 years for brake fluid even on the Severe Service schedule.
