How the system detected official testing vs normal driving?

OBD-II! You don’t normally plug stuff into that port unless you’re testing the car. Real simple check for the computer. Data port active? Then run full code. Else skip this EPA BS.

Came for the Mod Max comments... not disappointed.

This.... this is the type of thing (besides seeing my father’s bike wrecked and his wonky concussion related antics) that makes me say “Nope! Four wheels and a cage for me, thanks.”

Click through to the Dallas Morning news article linked in the Gawker article. It has a picture of the clock mounted in a project case probably bought at Fry’s Electronics in... wait for it... Irving, Texas. This is just down the street from DeVry University, best known for their Electronics programs - which I myself…

Maybe they should have talked to DeVry on the north side of town. They have people that know about electronics. Just a thought.

Now I’m left wondering what Doug DeMuro thinks of this one... and if he’ll ever go for the D. Then he could be triple D. Diesel Doug DeMuro!

That beater gonna tow. No pics of it towing, but this is my 4000# rated tow beast. Need a bigger radiator to run the AC at the same time though.

boioioioioing

Penalized for too much awesome use of gas. Your use is too awesome. You get a timeout to think about what you’ve done.

How: very carefully.

Not even able to monitor my speed. Would this count as 2 raised middle fingers above eye level?

1509 miles away from home, hanging out with other gearhead with my wife in tow, my 93 Crown Victoria eats an intake valve. We had to rent a Mazda 5 to get back home. We left the car at the guy’s shop and they worked on it in their spare time over the next year to swap in a performance improved 4.6L from an 03 Town…

The scale of awesomeness, man! You broke the scale of awesomeness because you’re too awesome!

My cars are all over 15 years old. Heck yeah I’m satisfied with them. They still work.

Transit Connect low roof with different body lines.

#10 - except in those high roofline, long windshield, cars like the Mazda 5. Absolutely F’n useless visors that can’t block the sun except in one tiny ass spot. Absolutely useless.

all this talk of poop made me think of this snippet from AMV Hell 3

Bulls eye on the Grand Prix.

#8... also great for self undercoating your vehicle.

Lower intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets on my 88 Grand Marquis. Bought the gaskets and slipped on the ice and broke my wrist 2 days before the gaskets showed up. Just now getting my full strength back and it’s summer. Fall would be better.
