Side note, they also make the fuel tank for the 918

This roval is great addition! You could say NASCAR has been way to ovaloaded in recent years.....

Will this one burn 1qt of oil for every 1000ish miles too like my Mk6?

So it was around the time that Casino Royale had been in theaters and the parkour sequence was fresh in my mind while I was hanging out with some friends. We were being stupid and running on and over different things as if we could actually do parkour. My 2004 red Cavalier was parked and looked ripe for me to bounce…

Audi should’ve done an Iron Man edition for the R8 and then an accessible peasant version in the TT.

5th Gear: Also note that there are only 2, sometimes 3, jet engine suppliers to Airbus and Boeing. And also note that there are only a couple casting suppliers for jet engines. The entire airline manufacturing industry is a mix of duopolies and monopolies. It’s amazing that plane tickets don’t cost more right now, but…

I want to know what differences besides the turbo there are between the NA 2.5L engine and the Turbo 2.5L engine? I assume its the same engine but surely its not just the turbo adding 63hp?

This just blew my mind!

Neutral: If I was an auto executive, I would be working with my metal suppliers to ensure we have a good relationship and working with my supply chain to increase efficiencies so that regardless of what tariffs are introduced, the overall price impact to our customers is limited. Tariffs are kind of like the price of…

I lol’ed at work on this one!

The most accurate way to test where someone is to find out if a WalMart in their town is just “WalMart” or if it is “THE WalMart”. If you are from a populated area, its the former, if you are from a rural area, its the latter.

You know, right now everyone is arguing over banning guns and whatnot because we as Americans tend to abuse the privilege of our Second Amendment, but I have a feeling that soon people will start focusing on traffic deaths and will push to take away our driving privileges entirely? I appreciate better safety features…

I like how this sounds, it almost sounds like an angry rally car! A lot better than a slightly annoyed wheezy sounding V6s of recent years. Not as good a screaming V12 though.

I noticed that too! It kinda resembles a Countach? This needs to be done to all Diablos.

Obviously it would be nice to see as many pix of the Joest/Mazda cars because its an exciting partnership and I honestly can’t wait to see how they fair this weekend!

I say yes, we will see 3D printed parts trickle down to production cars like Golfs sooner than we will see more carbon fiber components in mass production cars. It’s already being used in jet engines and is quickly going to be used even more so in them. The auto industry is slowly learning what can be done with it,…

Additive will be the next big thing. Companies are slowly starting to realize what they can do with it. The current hurdles are the cost of the machines and the size of parts, not necessarily the time. Yes, milling something out of a casting takes less time, but the overall lead time from raw to finished part is a lot…

I approve of this because the more cars they put this engine in, the better! It means whenever I can afford a Hellcat in some form, parts will be cheap because there are so many out there. Nothing worse than getting a car with rare parts that are expensive and hard to find. What else can FCA put 707HP into? Fiat…

It’s surprising how many companies still use green screens. Several years ago I worked for Guitar Center and their sales interface was based off a system that Harley Davidson developed and it was all green screen. The company I currently work for is a multinational, multi-industry, multi-billion dollar corporation and…

My wife once told me before we were married that she hated riding in my car because it was like riding in a race car. (Little did she know that was the goal! She said it like it was a bad thing?!)
