Isn't it said somewhere that most BMW owners think their cars are FWD? I wonder if the Germans have to engineer their nanny systems with that in mind. Sad.

Yep. In many cases, like cars with the battery mounted in the rear (factory or modified that way), the negative terminal is strapped right to the chassis. Since the chassis is made up of so much conductive metal, it provides a relatively resistance-free path back to the negative terminal.

Where's the rule that stops people from looking at a book or magazine during the same time period? Why should people reading a Kindle be forced to stop while those people reading paper books are allowed to continue?

I don't get why people are bitching.

It arouses me.

I think, maybe if manufacturers could overlook current fads and safety concerns and build a big coupe with a low hood and tall greenhouse, we'd be fine with those cars. But, like I said, with my 350z having such narrow windows, I had relatively little awareness of what was going on outside. But hey, nobody wants a car…

That failure of an insult was pretty unnecessary.

The Genesis is supposed to compete with the Mustang and 370z; the Toyobaru cars are supposed to be the barest, simplest RWD cars at the dirt-cheapest price (and still retaining modern safety specs and basic luxuries).

Those tracks look like garbage when you compare them to Mattracks, as demonstrated here on Ken Block's STI.

Just like to point out that RWD has 5% more power loss than a FWD drive train. So there's another variable.

It should read "Was the car that Jack and Rose Had Sex in Really on the Titanic?"

Tough call. Beautiful car, great utility, and excellent-looking work on the swap. However, 200K miles, even when well-maintained on a rock-solid car, is creeping toward end-of-life. But it does have a certain "cool-factor" to it. On the fence.

I agree that this article is horseshit and belongs in the National Enquirer. I don't care if it's sourced from the same legitimate network that's also produced Pawn Queens and Toddlers and Tiaras.

This man gave a part of his life to the service of his country. If you were to become permanently injured, disfigured, or disabled doing your work at your civilian job, you'd be entitled to money too, which is compensatory for losing the ability to function the same way in life ever again.

So I'm guessing we're only about 10 years out from a new Nissan S-chassis! I'm totally excited about this, as it'll probably be saddled with electric motors, batteries, and that sweet, sweet CVT transmission that Nissan is known for. And I bet it'll have Bluetooth, and it'll be styled after some aquatic animal that we…

Thankfully, the trashed E36 M3s are starting to get weeded out, making nicer ones like this (and mine) worth a bit more. This one doesn't seem too bad, and manual conversions are relatively easy; otherwise these cars are dead simple to wrench on. The ragtop and auto-tragic transmission are boner killers for me, but…

I see a lot of this, minus hair color.

I think it's a potato gun. Looks like he's using it to either break the windshield, or splatter a giant mess onto it. That green reservoir looks like a propane torch canister, and I've seen a lot of propane-powered potato cannons. They're also not legal to operate as far as I know, so for it to be used on national…

for Tush Turner I paused at 1:38. mmmmmm...yeeeaaaahh
