Yep, it saved me from a horrible drive home in the middle of the night about 20 years ago. I had one of those 4 packs in the trunk, inside a plastic bag, for disposal afterwards for like 3 years before that night. My new car got a new one on day one.

It’s in my Jeep.

Well...that went off without a hitch.

I enjoyed this trailer, when does the movie come out?

I remember reading that Chevrolet scrapped a LOT of LUVs that had rusted in the lot after being shipped from Japan. Power of the Internet turns up the story...

Demand charge analysis depends on utilization and throughput. If you have a few trucks each day fueling at a travel plaza, demand charges per truck (truck’s charge) will be high. If utilzation is high, demand charges per truck will be low.

So what does it actually get at those speeds? Did you drive long enough at 100+ to know? In Germany, my 328i would get about 26mpg at 105mph averages on a trip - example Stuttgart to Berlin. My M235i was a couple mpg less, but I tended to use all 326hp regularly on the Autobahn. Similar average speeds, but a lot less

Reset the mustang average fuel economy display while driving 45mph. Wildly swinging numbers up over 50mpg ;) But if you do that at the steady speed indicated it should give you a pretty good idea.

I do wish the realtime display was numbers instead of the stupid bar graph.

i hit 125 in a Q5, but i was also carrying luggage and a dog so i didn’t want to push it.  a blast!

I spent 8 hours the day after washing my Mazda 6. I only did 100, but I was more focused on the BYU electric streamliner, of which I was a team member/photographer.  

This is the automobile equivalent of lobbing a toboggan down a ski slope. I love that this happened and I’m sure it was a blast. There’s “slow car fast” fun and then there’s “small car fast” fun. Combining them is the best. :)

Cargarita. (Punches self in face)

Ha! Slow car fast is awesome. I bet my 2.0 Mazda could best that by 2-3 mph.

The Yaris Timing Association is an exclusive club, bravo.

Oh yeah, baby!

Maybe adjust those little bumpers that the hood rests on? Does the hood line up with fenders? Or lower the hood latch a bit to make it snug?

Can you imagine a car company doing something like that today? Circumventing a bad review by just... going to geographical places where that review would most likely to hold the least amount of weight?
