Seems we’re stalking about different stuff. The marine fuel I’m accustomed to designing plants for is Marine Diesel which is a sight cleaner than bunker oil. If you’re correct, and it is in fact bunker oil, then yes absolutely it’s worse and all the tar issues apply. Short of asphalt, it’s the bottom of the crude…

Calling the accident off of Mauritius an oil spill is technically correct (which as we all know, is the best kind of correct), but potentially misleading. Thanks to events like the Exxon Valdez incident, and Deepwater Horizon, I’d wager to say that most people picture oil spills as CRUDE oil spills. Images of tar…

You say Luda’s back but he doesn’t remember going anywhere.....

“and there’s probably a Golf R variant in the works, too.“

The Subaru FUCKSE looks like it blue itself. Maybe the forester was looking for A NU START.

If I had a million dollars! Still wouldn’t buy a BMW.

Heat exchange has two sides. You have the properties of the two fluids and you have the heat exchanger itself. Generally speaking, for equal mass flow, you will get much better cooling with a liquid coolant than air. However, in a liquid cooled system you’re limited on flow rate by the circulation pump. In the case of…

I always thought that it was a conspiracy between her and his driver.

I for one welcome the return of our turbo boxy “I’m not a wagon” CUV overlords. Now if i can get it in blue, lower it, and put on some gold wheels, I can have a forester sti with a dual clutch and the same questionable reliability! Only I’ll buy it certified pre-owned with a 100k mile warranty! Muahahahahahaha!

Acura TSX wagon is the correct answer

Isuzu trooper. Done.

By the time a merc depreciates/disintegrates through three owners, it pretty much is worth the same as one.

Im really glad Hyundai is coming out with FRESH designs.

The pedant in me thanks you. I die a little inside when epoxies are referred to as plastic. Plastics are thermally set using one substance that is heated and molded. Epoxies (resins) are a mixture of two or more substances that chemically react (cure) to produce a third substance that was not originally present at the…

Admittedly annoying, but no more so than having your spare stolen every time you park on MLK jr blvd.

I considered one of these. Bought a manual 2015 GTI instead after I sat in both at the auto show.

Oh god! Is this what getting old feels like?! Do not want!

I don’t like the dash. It looks too flat and upright for a low slung sports/gt car. It looks like it belongs in a minivan or pickup truck, albeit a very tasteful and upscale minivan/pickup truck. I would expect the dash to have more front/back contour to make the occupants feel like they are in a well tailored suit. I…

I find it interesting that they are liquefying the mostly methane gas. From a storage standpoint, they either have to have one hell of a refrigeration system on board, or they’re running some extremely high pressure storage tanks. To be liquid at atmospheric pressure the fuel would need to be kept below about -260 F.

Isuzu Vehicross. Not a sports car. Weird and stands out. Japanese.
