In a 4 stroke, there's half as many firings per revolution compared to a 2-stroke. Each time the cylinder goes up, the ignition fires, instead of every other. That's why they sound faster. Also, because of this, you can get more power per liter than in a 4-stroke. However, I can't imagine that they would be nearly as

Having hit one of those, I can attest to their resilience. It was a good 20 mph collision, too. No visible damage at all.

Gatorade (or Powerade, if you're a jackass) is another thing. I've found that keeping hydrated, or even just having something to sip on every once in a while really helps keep me energized. Also, it helps if you don't have air conditioning and it's 105 degrees outside.

Most of mine were of mountains or clouds. However, a reference to Wall Drug I think is necessary.

Or just nothing. I've also tried taking pics from my car while moving, but it's tough on the autofocus.

Also, looking for good places to take pictures helps. Here's one from my latest road trip. It's easier when there's landscapes, like in Montana where this one was taken.

As an experienced cross-country road-tripper, sunglasses. No, seriously, reducing eye strain makes it much easier to keep them open. If you're not squinting, your eyelids don't get as tired, which means your eyes stay open, and your brain is not fooled into thinking you're trying to sleep. That, and calming, yet

I'm all for customizing one's car, making it your own, but at least keep a common theme with the car. This? I am disappointed to no end. Just, no. I can hardly even put into words how wrong this is. I would never take money to drive this car, no matter how much I was paid. It's that bad.

Yep, they can open from the inside on the early models to help pull air through the cabin. Originally, they were there just for looks on the concept, but they decided to give them function on the production model.

I thought the add was pretty good. Except for the part with the tribal vinyls, saying "Hey, you can make your Mustang into a veritable Douche-Mobile!" I could do without factory-enabled douche-mobiles.

Couldn't tell you, but it's entirely possible. I haven't been in Washington much for the past five years. It's the best road I have found in pretty much all of Washington, on a quick glance

That's the name that I left out. I haven't personally been on it, although my dad has, and he said it was the best road he's ever been on. I want to drive from Michigan back home just to drive this road. I know it's closed seasonally, but I didn't know it was closed in the summer. Must have had a wash out or something.

Dammit, you got mine! I posted the map of it, though. One of my life goals is to actually visit that road. My dad has done it, and said it was fantastic.

WA-131/County Rd 39 on the East side of Mt. St. Helens. 41 miles long of nothing but twists and turns. It's closed right now, being up in the mountains, but it is one hell of a road through Washington's back country.

You are correct! And for what it's worth, it's a '67

Remember the episode with the Ford GT? They showed it running out of gas on track, then went on to mention that it only got 4 mpg under those conditions. Then in another episode, they showed the GT constantly filling up at fuel stations on a road trip. I don't remember Ford getting their panties in a twist because

I gotta disagree on the "bad on gas" point. They get six mpg highway, while towing 50,000 lbs. Truck manufacturers do all they can to improve fuel economy, as a .2 mpg increase can yield significant savings. So, it's far more efficient than an SUV, comparatively.

Lets see, I got my Mustang when I was almost 15, and I am now 23, and still own it. so, 8 years. And I hope to own it for much longer

I'm waiting for him to take a turn a little too fast and have it just sheer or flop over. It will never hold alignment, at the very least.

400k mile taxis what?
