yeah sorry guy, re: $5000 cars for $500. that’s hoarder talk. if this guy was maintaining some of these cars - i.e. willys, 240z, then yes you could sell them for $5000. but right now you’re lucky if someone is taking your datsun off your hands for $500. it’s free money

They need to have a Monster Truck Nationals even there.

Could easily start an entire racing series with all the working vehicles out there. We could call it the Soggy 500.

Show me someone who thinks engine braking is bad and I’ll show you a stupid person. I’ve never heard anyone express that opinion honestly, not sure where Engineering Explained came up with that.

SRT-10 did 0-60 in 5.6 seconds stock. The 2017 Raptor does it in 5.2 seconds.  Pretty sure the Raptor will make it further in the sand/trail/rocks than the SRT too;)

This is why all 2+2 coupes should be lift backs.

My old Syclone (the original version of this) was a great little on road utility truck. I hauled couches and ass. It actually did pretty well on flat sand too with the AWD...not that I ever drove it out onto a Hawaiian beach...nope...never...

It’s ok. Your screen-name is the six-pack abs of screen-names.

How many reasonably affordable cars are available with RWD and V8’s outside of a dodge dealer? It doesn’t hurt they haul both dirt and ass.

Agree. It is kind of like when someone says they are from Canada.

If that’s the case I suppose they could just ADD smart phone unlock/start and not remove the key. That way you still have a physical key for getting over multiple drivers and some of the other fears, but where my current car came with 2 keyless fobs, this would make your phone a 3rd fob. You wouldn’t have to carry…

If the car uses the smartphone to unlock the car, it would likely use bluetooth from the device to unlock and start, so service would not be a requirement. Other than the dead battery thing, all of the downsides you mentioned are the same with keys. What happens if you lose your keys? What happens if your keys are…

If only the car and aircraft handling were better. I’m not asking for simulator quality, just at least Forza Horizon 3 level.

Are you familiar with the movie “Crazy People”?

I like the idea of Utterly Realistic Car Ads.

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

JB Weld will be sufficient. I’ve seen numerous videos on The You Tubes.

Aren’t dieselgates programmed to unlock automatically when connected to certain devices?

It wasn’t a rental, per se, but one time these kids dropped off a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California at the parking garage I worked at. I knew they were probably playing hooky from high school and it was most likely their parent’s car, so me and a buddy took it for a joy ride around the streets of Chicago. There may have…

Porsche?! I never touched her!!!
