In bracket racing, the main challenge is consistency. They give the slower car a head start, but if you go faster than you said you would, you lose.

I can’t wait to see one of these drive off into the sunset without a tow vehicle attached.

That’s like saying Nissan does not have a great history of CVT’s, oh wait, Nissan’s CVT’s actually do all suck, unlike GM’s history of cast iron block/aluminum heads, which, well, a lot of trucks made since the 90's seem to have been just fine with both the “classic” smallblock and the LS/LT series of engines...

Even if it was a manual process, it would be an improvement...

it’s more like cubed. power squared for air resistance + linear scaling for frictional losses like wheel bearings etc.

$7800? For a Lumina? The only Lumina worth more than about $200 looks like:

Anything that’s a colossal pain in the ass to re-do. If you own one of those cars where changing the headlights involve removing the front bumper, get the super extended ultra long life bulbs for $2 more.

Run a news story that the ship is made out of the same material as catalytic converters. Turn the security cameras off, the entire ship will be gone in a week.

I remember way back in 2009, when they were pretty much giving away trucks. How the turntables

Agreed. If it’s really “the car” it’s worth it.

Nissan CVT’s.

half of the aftermarket parts industry exists to fix stupid/cheap OEM stuff.

I think it’s a good thing to add into one’s financial toolkit.

I went through my mental list of cars I have owned or have driven a lot, and the iron duke is “3rd worst.”

The only LS I’ve driven that qualifies as “sucky” is the 4.8's in the trucks.

I broke one.

If you look at the lead shot, they almost cleared the pool!
