Pruett has forged a name for herself as a competitive drag racer across multiple disciplines, but she hasn’t been able to settle into a solid team...

My brother in law had a similar problem with an old 4Runner he has.  We spent a weekend getting it running again and put a new battery in and the next day he had an angry neighbor knocking on his door because the horn was stuck on.  Never have really diagnosed the issue on that one, but wondering if it’s a similar…

So what they need to do to make relevant engines again would be to lower the rpm limit way down to something you might actually see in a consumer car. That would admittedly take quite a bit of the spectacle and fun out of the sport, but I think that’s one of the few ways you’d actually see some tech transfer again.

As I’m sure you know, catalytic converter thefts have particularly affected hybrid car owners.

I don’t know about that.  I saw some of what you’re talking about, but that also made me rethink my characters and playstyle.  My main issue was I never bothered to farm any good artifacts for characters.  Once I had an actual decent set on a few characters I went back to beating on stuff pretty easily.  The big key…

Yeah, I don’t get the anniversary backlash.  I’ve only been playing since early June, so I’ve missed a lot of the events, but in the months I’ve been playing this has been a pretty dang amazing game for the low low price of free.  This is better than a lot of triple A titles I’ve played and paid $60 for.  Admittedly I…

If you want some fun, look up turbo slant sixes and some of the crazy things they can do with them. I think someone actually ran tens with one. It sounds like a very angry bee as I recall.

I never found the controller to be uncomfortable at all.  The joystick sucked and wore out too easily, which was the only real fault I had with it.  The bigger problem was the games that made you rotate it.  That wasn’t the controllers fault.

I’m surprised there isn’t a Fate based game like this.  I know there have been some fighters for the Fate series, but the only one I can think of that is a tradition style fighter like this is more pixel art style.  You’d think with the massive roster of heroes they’ve come up with in Fate now that it would be a…

Dodge must have the stuff to make first-gen Vipers sitting and rusting in some warehouse somewhere, right?

What do you define as “no-stress”? To me that means low maintenance more than anything, and hydrangeas aren’t that. They need bucket loads of water to keep going, and dragging a hose around my yard to water stuff is what does not happen on a regular basis. I need to just put in a soaker system or something, but the…

I’m just salty they aren’t building any of these in the US where I could potentially see them someday.

This all adds up to a massive curb weight of 4,182 pounds, in true muscle car form.

“A lean burning engine runs hot.”

This one annoys me to no end.  It’s not entirely false, but it largely depends on why and how your engine is tuned.  If fuel is the thing that contains energy and gets converted to work, putting less fuel in is going to result is less heat generated.  However, if you don’t adjust your…

Ah, if only I could ever do that, lol. 11 quarts of full synthetic every change for my Viper, and the Mopar filter. I feel like an oil baron whenever I walk out of the store carrying my shopping cart full of oil.

Honestly, Toyota just needs to split the suspension options from all the different packages and just let you order the one you want regardless. That was my main complaint when my wife and I were shopping for her 4Runner. You could only get X-REAS on the Limiteds, KDSS on an Off-Road, and the Fox suspension on a TRD…

How about every automaker is allowed to make X number of ICE vehicle per year, regardless of what their overall output is?  That would put everyone on an even playing field and still allow niche carmakers to be wholly EV if they felt like it, with the understanding that they wouldn’t really be able to grow their…

I grew up in an 87 S10 and it was a bizarrely bulletproof little machine. Toward the end of its life it sat in my grandmother’s driveway and never drove for months or maybe even years. She had a large commercial mower that I used to mow her lawn with as a kid and it died one day in the front yard so I figured I’d try…

Now think about the extra charging benefits of a battery around 1/3rd the size.

Haha, no. I don’t think there’s any way you could get this to carry any weight when you look at the real numbers. Actual private consumer vehicle use is a tiny fraction of global emissions, so I don’t think you can go after just them when you have all those other huge targets out there. Are they trying to sue China…
