If they can’t get enough air in that front end, nothing will do it.

Seriously... has the Dodge actually achieved anything further than dick-waving with their Hellcats? Record lap times? Quarter mile times? I don’t follow it closely, but I can’t recall anything special beyond a horsepower number.

Less weight, and can probably avoid hitting a tree.

This don’t feel like a joyride to me. Seems like he was doing his job of checking the car. That said if he was in for a light bulb change then yeah it’s a joyride. But if this was for a trans flush or some thig like that I can understand wanting to see how it is functioning when pushed as its a sports car that is…

How do you know it was a basic service? The article offers nothing in the way of information about what was being seen on the car. That’s a pretty big “if” upon which your argument is predicated

FYI, a test drive is required both before and after a transmission flush. It’s the technicians responsibility to be certain the trans shifts properly before and after the service. If any delays or issues with shifting before, a trans flush will make it worse.

If i had brought my car to the dealership saying there’s a weird delay when i floor it, how can you test to see what it is without flooring it?

It depends on what the complaint was and what the test drive was looking to replicate. I’ve had customer cars at 100+mph simply to bed the brake pads/rotors properly. (the brake manufacturer had explicit instructions of 10 HARD stops from 100+mph to 10mph, without a complete stop. How else am I supposed to do that?

It might be useful to know what the car was in for that required a test drive. Looks like a couple acceleration runs real quick then back to the dealer. Not the most joyful ride ever. It also didn't look as fast as the speedometer showed.

Me too. Am I wrong in thinking some hyper sensitivity on the owner’s part?

Seems like a random 5 minutes test drive to me... A couple of short accelerations to test the car and back in the shop.

Yes check out the Battle Pass.

If they like spending money and progression systems, the Dota 2 Battle Pass is a great place to start.

I’ve actually had friends tell me they want to get into Dota, but the lack of progression system turns them off. They don’t see the point in playing it if all the heroes are available from the start, because then they’ll have nothing to work towards.

I haz a sad.

Women can both kick ass and fall in love. Just like male superheroes.

The street won’t see GM as a shining sun until the whole thing with the *people killing themselves from lack of ability when ignition switches failed

CEO Mary Barra is hardly alone in believing GM’s stock is undervalued as a result.

I don’t think GM resumed the focus on SUV’s & Trucks; consumers in North America did. If you have a product people want to buy, why stop them? If anything, they were slow to update their Large Crossovers (Traverse, etc) because they sold well without updates.

The bailout money was paid back a few years ago (with interest IIRC).
