This would also be good for mountainous roads. When I used to drive a tractor-trailer, there were many times that an extra 100hp (or more) would’ve made the difference between poking up a mountain at 40mph with my hazard lights on, or just keeping up with traffic. Yeah, a larger engine would do the same thing, but…

Not if he’s repeating.....

Considering that his father died in a house fire, I think that pun was in VERY poor taste.

Our next-door neighbor had one back in about 1974. It rusted to smithereens by 1978. You say it’s “basically a Honda Civic”. No, it’s not. It’s FRENCH. Let that sink in for a few minutes....

More like “Fred King”.....

...and who are those butt-ugly twins in the other pic? Are they the best that Soviet Modelling Agency had?

Old 2-stroke Detroits were notorious for this; bog the engine down, it hits to almost TDC, then runs backwards, scavenging oil from the leaky Roots blower, and just won’t stop even with the power and fuel shut off. It’s the reason why a lot of trucks back then had those exhaust flappers- to stop runaways.

Seriously? Has everybody forgotten just how spectacular a driver Alain Prost was? How about Mansell, Keke Rosberg, Piquet, Stewart, etc?

OK, take it on a trip to any city about 300+ miles away and back. Tell us what the status is for the “supercharger” network, how long it takes to charge, and how much it costs.

“The T600 comes with an inline four-cylinder, 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and a six-speed automatic transmission”

Also, UP is the only railroad which has ALWAYS had steam power on the roster.

Well, I’m not so certain why he was so excited about the E-8, the “babyface” Baldwin behind it is a much rarer locomotive....

Jules Bianchi did not “die at the Japanese Grand Prix”, he was critically injured there, and died several months later.

I work in manufacturing QC, and used to work in aerospace. This sort of certification issue is most of the reason why I will never work in aerospace again! We once did a small job for NASA, a part which was used by astronauts directly. We made 8 units of this design, and each piece required 100% direct measurement of…

Yeah, not did he just lose a full tank of propane, but his 25 year old Ford truck as well. At least he could still get his Whopper....

“The smell was horrible, just that burning rubber, ....”

I have fond memories of the long vacations driving between Boulder and Philadelphia in my dad’s 64 Pontiac Safari “widetrack” wagon...the oddly green-tinted glass, the rear-facing 3rd seat and the wind-down window on the rear gate, allowing the smell of unburned hydrocarbons inside......ah, the 60's!

30+ years ago, I drove a cab at night. sometimes our company was called to transport organs to the airport. Usually these came in a portable cooler (Rubbermaid type), and if the flight was still a couple of hours away, it would remain in my trunk while I drove other fares.

No, I owned one of those things. There was barely enough room for the 2.2l turbo, there would be zero room for a v-8.

“Nothing bad happened to us at home”????? I assume you weren’t alive in 1968, or else you wouldn’t have made such a stupid comment!
