Now come out to farm country in the midwest somewhere, and let 20 people drive it. You would get a much different response. I’m always shocked at how different “city folk” are.

Wow I teed you up for that one, and you hit it out of the park.

I wonder how many people will be getting pulled over for this while their completely stock diesel is doing a regen. They can smoke quite a bit during regen. Its more of a white smoke than rolling coal but I cant really see a police officer knowing the difference.

This is the reason I rarely use an ez out. If a fastener broke during assembly and not because its seized they usually work well. In most instances they create many more headaches. These type of beginner guides only fuel the problem. As a machinist it was never fun when people bring parts in with so called ez outs…

The more people that hit them the bigger they get especially when filled with water. Every time water splashes out it takes more dirt with it. Now combine that with the fact that I’m tailgating you because I drive an Audi, and I end up following you right into the pothole. In my defense thats how they tell you to…

How do they determine the acceleration limit for deciding what a race is? How do they measure your acceleration? I’ve never seen anything in the MI SOS driver manual to define a limit on acceleration. If I don’t chirp the tires I don’t see the problem. I realize this attitude could still land me in court, but what do…

The best story I have related to this is when I went to do a bed-in procedure on my brakes. Sometimes some uneven pad deposits build up on the rotor so to get rid of that you can do a bed in procedure again. Most of you probably know this is a series of hard braking from about 60-10mph in as short of a distance as…

So much hate. Keep it classy and learn to enjoy some good entertainment. No one likes a car culture snob.

pretty sure that officer has the new department record for the rest of time

B7A4 owner here to confirm that

Those spectators knew exactly what was happening. And they know there is no barrier between the cars and themselves. I'm not saying its right, but they should have never been there. Watch from a safe location like behind the start line. At a track you have an expectation of safety which we have all seen go wrong.

the barracuda was essentially the prototype of the ebr 1190 now in production

That may be what they want, but it certainly isn't doing anything to help their driving ability. Make them learn on something with no driving aids while they are young and able to learn quickly. A 16 year old can pick up a manual transmission, and non-abs brakes much faster than someone who has driven 20 years…

I wanted to post that spartan chassis one. That picture you posted is of the back and it still has duallies that don't steer. They use it as a sales tool to demo different cab options while only driving one truck to shows. I know some people that like to ride in the back going down the road to freak people out.

A kit to convert it to a v8 and rwd? That's a little bit more than a kit. A kit would be a full tube chassis that you bolt components on. Im sure MARC cars would sell you one but not ford. So your brothers focus might help for running to get pizza, beer, and other building supplies. I don't see it being converted…

I was lucky enough to get a couple hours in the C5 simulator they have at Westover ARB. Even in the simulator it was awkward to feel the touchdown while it appeared you were still too high to land. This was 10+ years ago in high school and it still sticks in my memory pretty well. They were even kind enough to…

I agree, however I really only like the 2 door models.

which is why I understand things have to be shut down. However, arresting them for just being on the roads is crazy. Yes we have places to put it, but many areas are also very remote so they don't see plows for a couple days sometimes.

that may be what they claim but I assure you there is plenty of wind coming off of lake superior as well. For people unfamiliar its wise to stay home, but my point is that its really not as bad as they make it sound. People go on day to day like this in many parts of the country with not much inconvenience. Yes they…

looks like you're familiar with rule #1
