Just purchased a new Titan the other day, shopped around, one dealer wouldn’t send me itemized price, another had it to me in 15 min. I gave him info for credit on the way to the dealership and walked out with new truck in 30 mins. I was happy for no bullshit, I’m sure he was happy for a sale in his lap.

It’s funny that people always bring up the McDonald’s coffee in lap case to be an example of frivolous. If you look into the case, it was actually anything but. It was a woman that got 3rd degree burns and required skin grafts. Corporate policy was to serve coffee at a dangerously hot temperature, a higher temperature…

I got credit card when I was 17 and used it an paid the bill, by 21 I had enough credit history to finance a new vehicle through a credit union at a reasonable rate and buy a house. Never had a cosigner on anything.

It was calculated with typical surface area to weight factors. It ignores Sonic buffering, so, theoretically, if you made something with huge surface area and low weight, that could travel supersonic and produce thrust without any oxygen to burn... The fact is even the 100 km is not realistic for flight, but it’s not…

Well, keep in mind, the upscale r31 skyline, the leopard, was v6 only. The v6 offered more displacement, less weight, and better weight distribution. V6 was offered in the s12 Silvia as well. I think they were just really pushing the v6 as the future. The rb was an evolution up the l series, the vg was all new all…

How about if you get pulled over in some states carrying a large sum of cash, the cops can seize it. Then a judge decides if cops should get to keep it without you being able to attend or defend yourself or any due process. If you hire a lawyer, you might get it back in a year. What’s your rationalization of that?

The bucking is likely one or both of these things. Rear crossmember busing are likely shot and cause play in driveline, replace them. Also, there is a rubber boot in the intake between the greyish plastic pipe heading down beside the throttle body and the rest of the intake out to the maf and filter, this boot is…

Why do they make this? The gas version doesn’t get milage to justify the size. The electric version doesn’t have range to justify the size. If I’m going to consider driving a tiny toaster on the road, there needs to a up side.

I assume that must have been cost during the current trial run. If that’s full price, sounds cheap as hell. Where I work, paying a million a year for support of one small bit of software is nothing.

No, everyone calls them mesh, try Google.

Manifold absolute pressure system is more simple than you make it. An engine is going to have the same volumetric efficiency at given rpm. So you make a ve vs rpm table, then figure airflow based on manifold absolute pressure and intake air temp (air density). Slight adjustments can be made based on ambient absolute…

Yep. I have some 4x114.4 bbs RS, but no you can’t have them. Getting 3" front lips for 15x9 and going on my 280z. However, I do have a ton of z31 parts, hit me up if you want turbo, manifold, downpipe, ecu, ect. Will part with them if money is worth digging them out and shipping.

Please stop using engineering explained as a source of technical expertise.

Or maybe they just run them? Ford GT has done 293 in standing mile on DOT legal Hoosiers. Not rated for that speed, but it works. Big difference between a manufacture saying a tire is safe at X speed and the speed at which it grenades.

Felony reckless? What about misdemeanor reckless? I had like 4 reckless driving tickets when I was kid. I got one for “taking an offramp too fast.”. They were all just tickets I paid like a speeding ticket and moved on.

I have seen 1-2 mpg average while roadracing. Not much difference.

There are a ton of black men playing sports that must be white supremacists with their 88 jerseys. Of course, maybe a number is just a number, and it means to you what you want. Nah, that’s silly.

All these nice tidy spaces. Here’s one for the messy guys.

Nope, good friends are people you trust and you let them borrow it any time because you know they are going to take care of it.

The free market does great until it makes decisions bad for the planet, country, or human condition. Sometimes it needs help. The incentive is about helping the environment, not helping the rich or the poor. Would a tax penalty on gas be better? That would hurt the poor.
