1993 Eurovan. Found a one used back in 97. A/C compressor locked up on a vacation trip. The belt broke, wrapped itself around the timing belt cog on the crank, changing the ratio between cam and crank - throwing the engine out of time and stranding us in the middle of nowhere. $3000 fix that failed again, almost…

In Soviet Russia, belt wears YOU.

I’m torn on this topic. Partial automation might hurt lane splitting, not to mention the headache when an autonomous car and motorcycle tangle. Also bike cred: I’ve got a ‘16 KTM 690 & ‘64 Honda 305 Dream. ☺

How long before we see this on BaT? ;)

Stupid should always be expensive.

So this is what the new pedestrian impact safety systems look like...

I owned two different 1966 Ford Fairlanes in 1980's highschool. One at $500, the other was $700.

This. For trucks & SUVs, torque down low is where it’s best appreciated. That’s what makes the Eco boost and big v8s feel so great in a truck. :)

Hey now, nobody wants surprise batseks.

Ace reply, my good fellow.
