In the US approximately 40K people are killed in car accidents each year. About 1K people are killed in bicycle accidents per year.

No offense, but your sample size of one is about as ludicrous an argument as Bradley’s that racers shouldn’t be riding. Riding certainly can be dangerous.
I’ve ridden and raced mountain bikes for coming up on 2 decades and while I have thousands of trouble-free miles, I also had one crash which left me with 4 broken…
Also, calling it “analog” is stretching the term. There’s plenty of electronics between the driver and the wheels.
A few of these are stretching the “only sold for a single year” thing. I mean, first slide 1963 Corvette. the 1964 wasn’t a new generation, they just changed one design element. If that’s a qualifier to you, then my 1960 Impala was a one year only too since they changed the rear fins. So would the ‘58, ‘59, ‘61, ‘62,…
The BMW 1M Coupe was not naturally aspirated, it was powered by the N54 twin turbo I6
PC Mag still exists??!!
Surely you jest. GM can’t install a manual in a base CT-4. Hell, it won’t even fit into a V unless the Blackwing badge is attached. What you propose is madness. Madness, I say!
It really shouldn’t be hard to flip a Land Cruiser in today’s world.
“In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty” which is why I pulled a gun on an innocent man until he proved he wasn’t guilty. Flawless victory.
I can do you better on model years: ‘16, ‘13, ‘12, ‘10, ‘04, ‘01, and a not-so-lovely ‘94 Toyota half-ton.
My buddy had a Kia Rio in 2003-4ish that didn’t even have power steering. I loved driving that thing, it felt so much more connected to the road than any other car I’d driven.
Remember, and I can’t stress this enough, to disconnect the battery. IIRC, certain Mercedes do a brake test where the caliper will check the distance from the rotor whenever the door is opened. This allows the computer to know the life of the brake pads and how much pressure needs to be applied in an emergency.…
It’s a slippery slope using slippery soap, using mettle to meddle a metal pedal that peddles some metal.
I have a Q60. It's not great. Not terrible, but definitely not great.
I guess if it makes you feel better, sure, go ahead and plan your travel that way. But I don’t see how the effort is worth the supposed gain. This is another example of how humans will ignore the most significant and most common risks to their lives and health, refusing to take even the most simple steps to be safer,…
“Queue up pedantic know it all commenters on this article.”
The deisel NEEDS the Jake because it doesn’t have an intake throttle. No intake throttle means no manifold vacuum and no engine braking without throwing complication into the mix - either an exhaust brake (throttle) or a Jake (engine valve action modification
I used to engine brake my Mk III Jetta all the time, and I sold it (still running) with the factory clutch and over 300K on the odometer...
You okay?
