The least comfortable I’ve ever been on a bike is every time I’ve ridden a sportbike.

“Look, I’m super liberal and left-leaning, but can we all just agree that Donald Trump was the greatest president of all time?”

Beautiful.

They’re here - you can spot them because they start off with, “Look, I super hate Tesla, but” and then explain away the issue because they actually DON’T super hate Tesla, it’s just what they have to start every sentence with so that it takes an extra 3-4 seconds for people to realize they’re full of shit.

On one hand, it kinda shows that there’s a CEO that actually knows his business and wants to “get his hands dirty.”

I’m sorry what the hell is that abomination?? That thing is NOT from any factory, right?

No, look at some pictures of the inside and outside. The Ranger has an access cover on the inside that’s clearly here. The last gen Dakota’s lower body line fades toward the middle.

I dislike turbos (and particularly turbo 4s) because of low end torque. I just don’t like the ‘pulling’ feeling you get at low speeds and the lack of well, anything, at higher RPM. That’s largely why I like the rotary (and the somewhat similar S2000 and BRZ engines). Torque when I actually want it, not when I don’t.

Yeah, sounds just like the Focus RS and the Mustang.

The CX-5 with the 2.5L (ironically also a Ford engine) is a very thrashy motor.

^ My manual RX-8, currently parked with a busted manual transmission. Surprisingly, the engine still works, though it is on its second one.

I can assure you it doesn’t.

I wonder if it has to do with the “headifold” design where there’s no tubes or length to the exhaust header, just a single outlet from the head to the turbo.

The RX-8's Renesis is the obvious answer to this question - gutless, loud, buzzy, you have to thrash it to get moving at all, and with all of the reliablility of your methed-out ex-brother-in-law promising to make his child support payments.

The tailgate is OBS Ranger. Kinja won’t let me add pics.

Wow, the Caravan taillights actually kind of work. But now I’m wondering what the tailgate is from.

Police in a Fox 11 report state that the intersection in question has a speed limit of 15 mph

we are living through the final throws of the hard-top’s death right now

Let’s not forget the stupid stick-on bulky fender flares, but with stock 235-width tires that are now 4" inset from the outside of the fender.

Not...a....slideshow???
