OH LAWDY DON’T PUNISH THE CRIMINALS ELSE THEY MIGHT BECOME CRIMINALS

Yeah, more like an excellent way for more law breaking assholes to get some cheap bikes or even buy back their old bike. Crush and lower the number in circulation, not to mention raising the price a little of getting in on it, and really hurt the assholes where it hurts; in their pride.

Here’s some footage of the second pass.

Anybody feel better now?

COTD.

Wondering if this is the song they are listenign to?

I was literally writing this post while getting fired. A new experience.

Sorry Alissa, but Justin picked the lede photo.

I am guessing that this is going to be an engine loosely similar to the Ford Ecoboost. If you look at the Ford Focus ST, its torque peak is 270 ft-lbs at 2,500 rpm and 252hp at 5,000 RPM. The VW GTI’s 2.0L I-4 turbo has a peak torque of 258 ft-lbs at 1,500 RPM and peak power of 210 at 4,500 RPM. For comparison, if you…

You haven’t seen the torque curves from modern turbo engines, have you?

Well the way that turbo engines get MPG tested usually makes them produce some not really repeatable MPG numbers. They keep them out of boost and get better MPG’s due to smaller engine but can still boast high HP numbers because when they dyno they get into boost. I still think it is funny this is happening now,…

Math.

Cocktail wiener.

I really hope “expenisive” was intentional. Made me lol.

Keep your unobtainable to the U.S. cars out of this conversation!

Say what you want about nostalgia, but the real answer has to be now. All the modern safety, amenities, room and power are a really great combination.

To the endangered employees currently in the extended dealership ecosystem, I say this: evolve or perish.
