That’s your state registration, not how the federal government views it.

I can keep giving you articles and examples:

The obvious answer here is Gojo or even better the Permatex crem hand cleaner. If it’ll clean your skin it’ll clean your walls...and you counter...and your toaster.

I once replaced a set of CV joints in my apartment sink...I don’t want to talk about it.

It does work but if the engine has that much sludge that’s probably the only thing keeping it from leaking. If you’re planning on doing front and rear main seals that’s fine but beware.

I grew up in the automotive marketing industry, I know exactly how much sway it has.
I’m not asking for any of it to change. I simply wanted to point out how misguided the original commenter was. The industry pushed you to crossovers, consumers did not drive the introduction of those vehicles.

People seem to think they…

Absolutely not.

The study of torquing fasteners is what I do for a living, I understand the variables better than anyone else you’ve ever spoken to.

Manual torque wrenches have a variation range of around +/- 10% on a very good day. In some gauge R&Rs I’ve run I’ve seen it well over +/- 30%. The DC motor driven torque…

The car you buy is not so much an objective decision but what the marketing tells you you should buy. Why do you think the industry spent 25+ Billion (yes Billion) on marketing last year? It’s not because they’re ineffective at their jobs.

It’s not that Alfa has the reputation, it’s that buyers still know it’s a FCA product and that taints any prestige. 

Even here in Detroit they’re very uncommon.

No, you don’t understand the history.

CAFE pushed the crossover movement because it let manufactures kick the MPG requirement can down the road. They are classified as light trucks.

The manufactures put the sedans on the back burner and pushed for the CUVs hard with new tech and aggressive pricing. You’ve been…

If you want to get into lightly modified territory a Flex with a basic tuner can push over 400 hp without any other modifications.

The Montreal is far too brutish for many. Something small, light and affordable has merits all its own.

And in that moment 10,000 automotive engineers cried out in pain.

Hitting it with a clicker will get you close but you really need to back off 1/8th of a turn and achieve that torque in one smooth movement. The static friction of the tapered lug seat against the rim is designed to produce a significant amount of friction.

Clean dry (non lubricated) threads are a must.

You’re mistaken. They will shear/bend in the first few threads, that’s usually a few mm away from the face of the hub. I’ve run these type of tests for a Tier 1 supplier

This is a misconception.

We’re adults. You should have studied latin in school. If you get bothered by something having the word rape in the name due to word roots that’s a bigger issue here.

Please.

The battery is not 100% recyclable, there are problems with lithium recovery. Secondly the cradle to grave emissions are significantly more than an equivalent ICE vehicle.

The word root comes from the Latin word for turnip. You’re simply uneducated. 

I wish mine was this good.

Maybe I should be in less debt from all the projects cars.... Who’d have thunk an E38 750il, a W115 Mercedes and a Lancia Beta would hurt your finances?

Park on a residential side street and Uber in for $7? Bring a bike?

You guys don’t get it, this is like an investment.

He owns the property (I think it’s actually a long term lease). The whole car park sold a few months back for 23 Billion.

Yeah it’s a lot of money to have tied up for the average person, however the owner is far from average. The HK real estate market is exploding like…
