Turbos are for slow drivers that need that extra torque to catch back up to the good drivers. All the power in the world cant help help them. NA is the new cool performance again. EVERYTHING has a turbo now. When KIAs all have turbos you know its not cool anymore.

I mean if we’re really going to be pedantic about names, it’s actually a heat exchanger, not a “temp exchange unit” or whatever that is. Heat energy is what gets transferred/exchanged between the mediums, temperature simply describes the average amount of energy in each system at a specific point in time.

Nascar has never been a huge fan of Live Streaming.

OEM wheels of the 1990s were small because they could be, and because larger wheels and super-low-profile tires simply didn’t exist at the time. The era of compact/economy cars leaving the factory on 17" wheels is a product of pedestrian safety regulations dictating passenger car design.

If they follow Integra tradition, it’ll be a Civic with more power. I’m OK with that.

Yeah I don’t get how anyone who doesn’t have lead poisoning could think that was a “demand.” She laughed and politely declined. She was amused and while she clearly wasn’t going to stick around for an extended conversation she obviously was more than happy to have that interaction.

Just me and the disused empty carts in the cool dark; I’d look up and see night bugs circling around the parking-lot lights. If…

What asshole designed that so the roilet is facing the WRONG WAY?

This the best earthbound loo with a view - the Columbia Center in Seattle, all 79(?) stories:

This... it’s still a super powerful machine. In 07 it had like 450hp and was known from the launch control that broke transmissions and voided warranties.

I just put NGK’s in everything

The balance between us and the Alpine was incredibly good, but Toyota was on a different planet.

Joke from the post notwithstanding, the French did actually have a completely independent messaging and videotext system between 1980 and 2012 called Minitel which ran on its own network with millions of users a decade before the World Wide Web came along. It was not easy to put one of those terminals in a car, but…

That’s the suggestion that rubbed me the wrong way. Spring rates can be adjusted, suspensions travel can be adjusted, and factory settings aren’t meant to be permanent, unless you’re buying cheap coilovers that offer limited adjustability.
