My understanding from the mud guys is that supercharger a and/or nitrous help get those huge wheels spinning to get through the mud. No exactly torque on the stump pulling sense, but the ability to get the revs into the power band quickly to stay up on top of the mud.

Try and watch the ERC of they still show it. It used to be on MavTV around the same time as WRC events. They have a lot of other classes and are lower tiers so you can see what rallying is really like.

Came here for this and wasn't disappointed. Here's the full add in case folks didn't know.

Hey, my peasant-class Scion xA has a heating cool under the rear wiper blade as part of the rear defroster. Super handy.

At some point, everything needs some maintenance. For example, my 06 Scion XA has been reliable, but I have replaced the following:

So it’s basically a Herbie bug. The Special Edition Love Bug DvD notes they used 80HP Porsche motors in the Herbies to make it at least “seem” fast in the non sped up film scenes.

Actually, he does have a 1-3 scale Ford 9" rear

It’s not really about the horsepower with a Ford online 6; it’s all about the torque curve.

Do they not make ever clear anymore? It’s gotta be cheaper than race fuel!

The goings getting rough, better shift to 4-L.

We never got new bikes growing up: Dad bought stuff second hand and fixed it up. He always washed/waxed/armor all’d them so the looked brand new.

I had the Schwinn with the 5-speed “Stick Shift”

Interesting concept... Wrong pedal.

I met John Force when I was a kid in 89 or 90. He’s is just as talkative in person as people say and a great guy. We probably talked to him for a good 30 minutes or so and I got to learn all about the car

TV Antennas becaus limo = watching TV in a car. They were also common on conversion vans back in the 80s/90s

Looks like Merc didn’t have to look far for a suitable halo

If a 911 has a “frunk”, this has a “fring”

No. I’ll let Colin McRae explain why:
