When I was a much younger gearhead, I had an earlier Jaguar XJ6 with a Chevy V8 conversion. Being a youngin, I wanted it to have a cooler exhaust. Stupidly I didn’t like the XJ6 exhausts that turned out to the sides, and wanted to get Monza tips for quad outlets.

It’s shame the entire discussion is framed around how to give the medical cartel the biggest possible slice of the productivity of the american people instead of how to dismantle the cartel and return medical care to a competitive free market and drive down prices.

Oh yes, I know it’s “too important” and there are

It just looks like an amorphous blob...

I can’t argue that.

Even if plants ran on oil (which most don’t) large scale electrical generation is over 60% efficient, while no one has hybrid ice is less than 35% efficient (due in large part to heat scavenging systems). So if you changed all the cars from ice to electric, and charged them all with oil powered plants, you’d still

Sweet hot take, bro!

The “best” ones are titles like, how do i afford/get my supercars. Put myself through 20 minutes of utter garbage to realise they never actually answer that.....

Let’s be clear about something... The “Greenwood plaque” is POP RIVETED on. So, a guy famous for fiberglass and engine work didn’t bond his signature plaque. I’m calling bullshit on the whole thing. Dubious origns, no interior or underhood shots, astronomical price tag.... Do I need to spell it?

Part of the issue with brick and mortar auto parts stores is that they often don’t seem to know any more than I do. You used to go in there and get someone quite knowledgeable that would actually help you out. Now they seem all but useless so I might as well use Rock Auto.

Please keep an eye out for the main suspects pictured above.

Get rid of that plastic cladding. I just finished tugging the potato to a V90. What is the size of this? Bigger or similar to a V60?

When I was a kid, back in the David E. Davis pimpin’ BMW 2002's days, BMWs were small, smart cars. Where American cars were huge monsters with power everything and float-boat suspensions and giant complicated engine bays filled with power-sapping accessories, BMWs were “Drivers cars”- small, simple, everything you

The answer is always Fiata. Buy one, put a few extra into some basic tuning, downpipe and turbo upgrades and you’ll have a 230-250 horse little Italian sports car. It’ll be the Ferrari you can actually afford.

I mean this in the nicest way possible...

On the Ford buyouts, I don’t think it’s accurate to say they’re “cutting 15,000 jobs.” They’re offering voluntary buyouts to 15,000 people, with the goal of having 1,400 actually take the buyout and leave. If you’ve got 10 people doing function X, and you think you only need 9, you can offer all 10 a buyout, and see

I don’t think the weather has anything to do with this, whether you like it or not

Can’t tell if that’s a joke or if you’re serious.

I could not agree more. Minivans are fantastic and there's no reason for minivan shame—particularly if you have more than two kids. I also believe that minivan > SUV in most cases, provided you don't live on the Rubicon Trail. However, just because you are a parent there's no reason you have to get a minivan for your
