"And since it's all independent, one cylinder or actuator can break and the engine can keep working for years."

I dunno man, I think your whole premise is wrong anyway.

Yea, those were some seriously dominant genes on his part. Holy cow.

What, you mean like carry-out? There are still a few places in the USA where that is pretty normal. Back in Indiana they've introduced much harsher liquor laws over the past few years, but there are still many bars that legally offer drinks to go.

Well bully for China!

I would agree with that option as well, so long as Ford has finally sorted out their little dry-clutch DCT. And I mean completely sorted. I know of DCT Fiestas that are on their third transmission. I personally know of specific examples where it was bad to the point where Ford never fixed it properly by the time it…

Jesus

I reiterate:

Yeeeeeeees, I know!

Yes, this is why I made the 6-speed stipulation. There'd be no reason to moan if they had already made the car properly.

Yea, that's... why it's cool.

"I mean, it's my understanding that to shoot off into space there would have to be some force to push it in that direction to shoot off."

Arrg! Who gives a shit about the 1.0 in the Focus? That engine belongs in the Fiesta! The 125 horse version, with the 6-speed, would be amaaaaaaazing in the Fiesta.

Holy shit man, you made my point better than I did and while using about a thousand fewer words.

Anyone with eyes could tell the behavior of the car was overly-aggressive and very skewed to 'front of the pack' speed. That much was totally obvious. Said fact may be accrued towards the results of Dillon's performance. That's fine.

Don't let Seattle put you off this lovely state. There are some beauuuutiful places to live here that aren't Seattle. Yakima isn't one of them (it's all ugly scrubland), but there are tons of little cities along the coast. Since you can work from anywhere, being a bit further away from the "big" city shouldn't be a…

I love the helmsman right at the start of the video. Eyes forward, casual stance, looking calm. What a hard-ass.

Ehh, we're actually pretty tolerant of newcomers. I was born here, but lived most of my life in the Midwest. I only recently made it back. Seattle hipsters bitch about new people coming into the city just like NYC hipsters do. However, the rest of the state doesn't give much of a shit. My permanent residence is…

My brother is a serious trail runner and he loved those stupid fucking Miller 64 commercials:

"A few months ago I was in Seattle, and I couldn't believe how nice drivers were."
