I’ll try to let you perpetuate misinformation in the future. I’d hate for anyone to learn something about cars on a car site. Carry on.

That’s not how it works. Look up the definition of force (torque) and power. Also, while torque is not useful for determining work over time, even if it was, when it downshifts, at a higher rpm and less engine measured torque, the torque at the wheels is higher than it was in the other gear ratio. Peak torque figure is…

Early 90s 4runners were rear only abs. Preventing sideways and roll over on a truck is more important than maintaining steering.

WD-40 is mineral oil and different alkanes, like decane (a major component in gasoline). Basically, but not exactly, you sprayed a mineral oil/gasoline mix dispersed and propelled by CO2 into your potato cannon. I bet if there was not so much CO2 and bit more oxygen in there, it would really go bang.

Depends on your skin color.  My half Lebanese wife, got pulled aside for random checks every time we flew.  Now with precheck/global entry, she is only pulled out about half the time.  Seriously, I have seen her pulled out and searched or swabbed for bomb residue like 15 times.  Where as I am white and not a single…

It only took 40 some odd years, but they fixed this in Solo.  They explained how it was impressive to do the Kessel run in short distance.

Fake or not, what’s really funny is the idea that making good money and driving a shitbox would give the idea of financial problems. I don’t have shit boxes, just modest rides and often a couple years old, purchased used. But most people with my household income would spent 4 or 5 times what we do on cars. I buy cars…

Why doesn't this post have more stars?

Do you find yourself arrested often? I found it quite easy to visit Japan and not get sent to prison, but maybe that is more of an issue for others?

My buddy imports ladas and volgas (not new ones) ect and sells them. We are in texas. Looking for a volga? You too can own a Soviet master piece that was made in the 70S, but looks like a minature US car from the 50s.

Doing snownuts in a 350z, it seems that at certain point with front wheels rolling backwards and rear moving forwards it gives up, throws up a abs light and turns off.

Or we could just move past the idea of forbidden words. Sure, we should teach our kids to speak in a nice way or polite. There are no “bad” words. Just don’t be hurtful with any words.

^-- This is what I think every MotoGP race I have watched for the last 10 years.

My experience playing with nissan/Infiniti is that their modern drive by wire setups cut 100% throttle when brake is applied while moving. Throttle is not cut when apply both at a stop. You can bring it up on the converter or spin tires at a stop. Seems like anything above 5mph and throttle is gone if you touch the…

I drew a picture to illustrate this 15 years ago, but air/air has a portion that gets real hot and has high temp delta to ambient and rejects tons of heat, while the outlet side is near ambient rejecting little heat. The air/water ends up with a averaged temp water you are trying to cool, it works best with cool water…

Or because air/water is great when you have chilled ice water for one go, but generally heat soaks way worse than air/air. Air/water is really air/water/air and with more exchanges comes more efficiency loss in the exchanges. The air water is also good for moderate power and reliability and packaging. But you dump a…

Well, if you were not a chump and had some experience like Papadakis, you would have known:

As other have said. Areo. Go look at how a modern 2wd truck with its big ole chin spoiler, has only about 4-5 inches of clearance off the ground up front, getting to where you can almost smash it on the curb parking. Now compare to the 4x4.

Yes, but fancy electronics does not equal most stolen, ease of access generally does.  Also, Nissan/Infiniti changed frequency and technology just a few years ago.  For example, no aftermarket key fobs exist yet.  So a device would have to be cutting edge/specialized as no other cars support that frequency.  It would…

How is the q50 on here.  I have to think it's only stolen when someone has the key fob or it is left on the car.  It's certainly not the the Honda of the 90s to bust a door lock and hotwire in 15 seconds.
