Can anybody explain the physics of why the back end breaks loose in situations like this? I understand that the tires aren’t providing sufficient grip to translate the torque in the wheels to the ground to accelerate forward, but I don’t understand the source of the force that makes it seem like these cars have had…

They called it the Mazda THREE - they knew what they were doing...

I always store my oily rags in a pile of kindling, underneath my stacked and organized firewood. I’ve got a few daisy-chained power strips running space heaters in there to keep everything nice and warm, too.

Ain’t that the truth! Just look how happy they are:

The tide has certainly turned. The racing world can surely see a gain from this. What a fab idea. What dynamo came up with this? What tools did they have at their disposal to build this vehicle, presumably an arm and hammer? 

Fast enough to make a clean getaway, not so fast you soil yourself. 

This. Too many people on this site haven't even visited rural America and have no idea just how big or car focused it is.

Flipped classrooms can be great when set up appropriately and targeted to the right students. I know from my time as a teacher that mention of “Khan Academy” or K-12 (much more popular in schools) is not about embracing this philosophy of adding to the classroom as much as it is removing from the classroom.

So... you’re telling me the Renault Alliance is taking a turn?

I was hoping they would have fitted a CVCC system. Even though it wouldn’t have fit with the period-correctness; it would have been a cool call back to when Soichiro Honda designed a system for a 1973 Impala to disprove GM’s CEO’s assertion that the system wouldn’t work on larger engines.

Awesome, now do the CVCC Impala.

Uhh.... How is it not called "E-Camino"?!

That van (the rear wheel drive version) was my very first car. Loved it. Totally a death-trap. Miss it all the time.

No...wynn's...for them, I guess.

Semaphore turn signals are awesome.

Smokey and the Bandit 4 really took the franchise in a new, darker direction.

Range is not the metric that developers ought to be focusing on anyway. It is charging times. People are waiting for battery technology to allow them to charge up in the same length of time it takes for them to fill their gas tank. Range plays a part, sure, but people are more concerned about fitting an electric into…

It is all about recharging time. Until it can match gas and go, then it isn’t going to be practical for most people. Early adopters and enthusiasts are willing to make lifestyle changes, but for most people? Nah, an electric car has to fit in the same neat box as regular cars. And it doesn’t, not yet. Household…

Rock Auto’s Canada site sells K10 Micra parts, which covers almost all of the Pao’s mechanical bits.
