I think cars being designed to hit 200 mph are stupid as well but you can enjoy them at lower speeds taking turns fast or hauling ass off a red light. I don’t have anything against big trucks in principal but this notion that you need a a behemoth that won’t even fit in the garage is when you actually really don’t is…

But never do

Only if it happens to someone else

In ascending order of hilarity: farts, shower farts, poop

I want to say odometer and fuel flow sensors but compared to odometer vs gas pump readout is always less forgiving for me. I know there’s some evaporation but can’t quantify it.

Wish I still had my old L wagon to try that on.

That does sound nice.

Has anyone done that? Just for shits I’d wanna see how that does, maybe start with a Justy or something old and cheap. Can pick up a couple old front axles, hack them up and create plugs for where the actual axles used to be. Or would the diff end up transferring all the power to the the now free spinning front and…

A car under 3000 lbs and actual back seat sounds awesome. I would totally want a Soviet style car like a Lada or Niva or UAZ but with modern engine/breaks/tranny. Basically I want a rally car for under 20k :)

TPMS bro.

Yes! Current cheap cars don’t scream hoon to me. How sweet would it be to have a bare bones light and agile hatchback that shouldn’t have an LSD and RWD and plenty of power but does anyway. Or an offroad ready small pickup with ground clearance, fat tires, and transfer case but no infotainment or stupid TPMS and…

Not fun enough. Maybe I just have a nostalgia boner.

Cheap fun cars. I’m talking real cheap. I don’t think the required technology these days would make it possible.

It is currently winter in the southern hemisphere

What about that six wheel Merc? Car or truck?

You know what’s sad? I have a masters in aerospace engineering and most of my shit blows up on the launch pad, though quite spectacularly.

Damn this article took a while to develop. Can you put a synopsis of why they are on strike at the top so you can spare us the soliloquy.

I think their planetary gravity is not as strong as the earth so take your mission planning with a grain of salt.

Have you validated this in Kerbal Space Program?
