I can make a video out of a weekend's work? Why did I never think of that?!

It will be after the race, but Mint 400 Trophy Truck Driver Jim Beaver has a radio show that airs on mondays. He is sure to talk about the Mint in detail on the next Down and Dirty Radio Show.

The Charger floorpan is not designed to accept a manual. In order to fit one in they would need to redesign the floorpan, which means that the car would need to be crashtested and recertified by the fed.

It makes no sense to spend that much money on a niche model of a car that will end production soon.

No love for the very awesome (and incredibly detailed) multipart series of how BMW makes an i3? They go through the design and production of every major component in the car. It gives insight into both Carbon Fiber and electric vehicle assembly. Its a feature length movie's worth of engineering porn in four parts.

Automatic and Im assuming a panicked driver hitting wrong pedal.

Uhh...the i3 starts at just over 40K before incentives. So youre bitching about the cost of a watch and not the car.

Just saying...

Are we sure that this isn't the news getting in on "Pretty sure that's a Lambo, Bro"?

In NY our yearly inspections cost $40.

To be fair, Rolls Royce was a car company for as long as it was an aircraft engine company. Charles Rolls was a big fan of heavier than air flying only a few years after it became a thing.

Are you sure? In the next line he writes "tonne". That implies a metric ton (1000 kg). So I was thinking that the unit would be tonne - meter. But that makes no sense because a kg isnt a force...

Im just really confused. Also where would the moment be about? The crane has a a counter weight to make the net moment zero.…

Just a quick note on Rolls Royce. They went bankrupt because they couldnt pass this test with their advanced Carbon Fibre fan blades in the 80s. The solution for those wonder (and whats used today) is to run a titanium strip along the leading edge of the compressor blades. But Rolls didnt think of that before filing…

128s are great. I still like my 135, though.

The N54 was BMWs first gasoline turbo motor in nearly 30 years. It also introduced DI to the gasoline BMW range. Some teething issues were to be expected, and most of them were solved well before the N55 was replaced.

Whoops. Was thinking V6 Altimas, which are in the mid 5s (I get my boring family cars confused). My 135 is a convertible, which is good for 5.4 or 5.5 (honestly it doesnt matter 0-60 times are dumb)

A V6 Camry is as fast to 60 as my 135, so it doesnt really matter either way. But for what its worth a 135 in 2008 the way I optioned it was only 2K more than an equivalently speced 128. So I bought the fast one.

HPFP, Injectors 1-4, and both Turbos. Thankfully all of this happened while the car was under warranty/recall, so no charges to me. Car is sitting at 114K miles now.

Warranty? I havent had one of those since 2010!

Ill have you know that the N54 in my 1 Series has only exploded 3 times. If thats not the picture of reliability I dont know what is.

There should be a Rallycross Spec Veloster. Mostly, I just want to see that big wing on a road car.

Most people live near a city and drive fewer than 50 miles a day. Thats why automakers keep targeting 80-100 mile ranges. Its not a stretch, it takes a month or two to get used to but after that youre fine.
