Can’t knock the effectiveness of the stuff, but my god does it stink. Hit one nut with that stuff and you’re going to smell like PB for the next 36 hours no matter what you do. 

Kind of like how vehicles competing for originality at the concourse level are expected to still have things like orange peel in the paint. 

I can actually chime in here!

Honest question: Does the origin of “mag” wheels refer to a generalized style, or the fact they were magnesium?

As a white guy, I had the same thought. BLM got gassed by the National Guard for a peaceful protest outside the white house.

Put a fence around them, put up a gallows. Show them how traitors are treated.

Except the fact that the Prowler didn’t come along until 1997. The AREX was from the late 80s, early 90s. Not a Prowler part on it.

Now hang on, I see turbos and an intercooler.

I imagine the USA would be far more urban if we didn’t go down the ICE path at the turn of the century. Batteries technology isn’t just now improving because we haven’t been working on it. Modern advancements in manufacturing processes, computer aided design methods, and controls advancements are what is advancing EV…

You can’t ignore the fact that they sold K-Cars hand over fist. Doesn’t matter if they were awful. They were affordable and efficient for the time, and the sales showed that. My grandma bought her Dodge Spirit brand new and drove it to church until the day she died 5 years ago. Dead on reliable and never gave her any…

As a mechanical engineer, it never ceases to amaze me what we are able to engineer together. This is one of the most metal things I’ve ever seen. 

Regarding the diesel generator points you made, in my undergrad engineering days I worked for our campus laboratory that did turbocharger research and testing. We did all sorts of automotive and aviation application turbos, but we also did a ton of the massive turbochargers for 2-stroke diesel engines for natural gas…

1976 Ford F-250 Highboy with a 460 on 35" tires.

There is no way Ford with V8 the Bronco. They are all in on the Ecoboost line. They will 3.5L HO the hell out of it and it will kick the shit out of the 6.4L Wrangler.

Don’t forget, the aerodynamic drag is very noticeable. These things feel like a brick at highway speeds.

If I’m not mistaken, this will be the first V8 since the 125hp 304CI V8 in the 1986 CJ-7.

I bet this thing bumped Three Six Mafia so hard from every car show is lumbered to in 2003. 

Yikes. 

Same. It hurts to be a New Edge fan as an adult. Anything less than Cobras are clapped out tweaker rides making their rounds on facebook marketplace.
