So you would have this car and a boat? Sadist.

Savage take is best take.

The math checks out. I posted above:

“400hp seems about right, really, if not a bit high. Figuring 322bhp brand new, this things maybe making 280whp in ‘stock’ form at this point. Vortech claims approx 70% peak efficiency on their blowers. So if we presume that 14.7psi would give you ANOTHER 280whp, thats 196whp@…

That’s not always true. Even normal repairs (like a clutch replacement) can easily exceed the market value of an old car. If there are less than $6500 of repairs needed on that car I’d be very surprised.

Doesn’t have the “time.” That’s a funny way of spelling “money, skills or self-hatred.”

I hope you never own any sideways motors as daily’s then....or an Audi 

8k of that sum is probably labor because Matt doesn’t wrench. These cars really don’t break other then the power steering system and subsequent alternator from fluid leaking on it. Brakes,bearings,bushings, and timing belt/water pump service are wear items and need to be replaced due to age no matter the miles. The…

I don’t see it so much as “obsession” as a recognition of basic mathematics.

Ding Ding Ding!

And then what to do with the other 16 grand?

Ha, ha....Oh, you’re serious?  It’s scary how many gruberites there are.

That’s what he’s saying, by lowest he means smallest (lowest) number.

Automakers will just make vehicles to meet the lowest emissions standards, saving money so they don’t have to make vehicles for 2 different standards within the same country.  Kind of a no brainer, especially when they were already working towards the old standards.

I see the Civic driver is among us.

Neutral: How Do You Feel About Musk’s Apology?

Tesla still hasn’t made a profit in 15 years and reports its biggest loss in history, and it’s stock goes UP just because the Idiot-in-Chief apologizes for his behavior?? Financial analysts are frickin’ dumbasses.

He’s sorry you guys! That must mean he’s in no way volatile and a danger to the company’s reputation. Everything is fine now and I’m sure he’ll never get into a Twitter fight with anyone ever again because this was only a one-off incident and not an ongoing pattern of behaviour.

Really? I read good things about the 9 speed on the V6, which is the only engine to have. Either way, I drove a early 90's Taurus with a dying transmission throughout high school. I sincerely doubt it is worse than that :)
