Eew!

Just bought a 2001 Boxster S with 115k miles last may. However, it did have an LN IMS bearing done along with new clutch, lower control arms and rotors. I spent about $600 replacing all the struts. Spent $50 changing the spark plugs and my god, if this thing doesn’t have all of it’s original 250 hp I’ll buy a prius as…

Honestly, I don’t have enough expertise to answer that. Which is why I’m saving long term for a Porsche CPO.

yes, although not just on the autobahn. on european highways in general, people often leave their signal on while passing to indicate that their presence in the passing lane is temporary.

It helps the car get around that slight left bend at those speeds.

It certainly is unethical to remove parts from cars before selling them! How can Jalopnik readers be outraged by this

While it can be debated either way, it is in no way “unfathomable”.

Yeah, but that’s all ‘nobody’ coastal land, so a sea of oil rigs and pollution are, like, fine or whatever. But Northeast coasts are big-money land, and that’s not kosher, screwin’ up their pretty, pretty views of the ocean.

I work in the trades, and we have a limited number of spaces that open up every year (this is also very dependent on the economy). As it stands every time the apprenticeship opens up we have about 500 applicants for 20 spaces. You want to get to that front of the line?

You should be looking at making sure you have a…

585 cubic inches is over 9.5 liters, almost twice the size of the M5's engine which is a 5 liter v10. Its a silly comparison.

True enough. On the other hand, those guys were set up feet from the road. They were at risk of being hit by any random car that happened to spin out. Certainly, they can all be idiots.

Best comment here.

You can at least try and be a human being with a soul and ease off on the gas and/or honk the horn, announcing you’re about to pass. Throwing a wall of snow at high speed at another person isn’t a particularly safe thing to do.

When has anyone thought that? This city has always been a shitshow. Trust me, I live here.

I haven’t seen a functioning XJ posted here in ages.

He could, of course, be a typical sneering Jewish man with his peyot whipping in the breeze (as depicted in a multitude of horribly racist cartoons) and is just stealing the tree as they’re wont to do this time of year.

Eh, if you ask me, the news douches that set up right on the side of the road like that or drive around all day while saying STAY OFF THE ROADS deserve it. Go park your truck, camera and lights in a parking lot or somewhere Elise safe and not distracting to drivers trying to get to work or whatever.  

Explosive cord. They shatter the canopy before the seat and pilot/navigator/instructor pass through it if they have to eject. Defogging (see other reply!) is done by blown air, exactly the same as any airliner.

The clamping forces are identical because you're torquing in sequence to a specific spec. The only thing that changes is the tensile strength of the actual bolts. The weight is distributed identically with either ARP studs and stock head bolts.

A torque plate is used on the block with a cylinder hone, not in the…

Remind me to tell you about the time I found myself in a Chevy Aveo doing 39 mph
