Care to elaborate? Lots of things make people uncomfortable and are disruptive. show me how it translates to effective protest that highlights why Joe Budweiser should care about your cause and I’ll listen, but random disruption and discomfort doesn’t do jack except make people angry at the moment they’re caught in.

This. The whole “no compromises” cliche in car sales drives me nuts. Like, you’re marketing a product for mass production and sales volume. You do that by appealing to everyone from your neighbor’s plumber to Jay Leno. They have nothing in common besides taste in denim. You need to compromise to appeal to myriad…

Own german engineered car. It is definitely an engineering clusterfuck. As the saying goes. Throw team of German engineers down the well and give them a ladder to get out. They’ll fashion a shovel out of the ladder and tunnel their way to safety.
The RS4 has a known failure point of corroding oil cooler fittings because they used a steel fitting on an aluminum exchanger, then exposed it to the elements. Galvanic corrosion has caused a few catastrophic losses of oil pressure in the past couple years. So to honestly answer your question, any radiator with…
This is going to cause many a technician to cry into many a whiskey bottles in 3-5 years methinks.
Lots of high output cars run both in block coolant oil heat exchangers and a supplemental air cooled oil coolers as well. possibly the case here?
I’ve been a turbo dude for years... and your terminology confused the shit outta me! ACAC was always just air-to-air intercooler, and LCAC was always AWIC (air to water intercooler) LTR’s we call heat exchangers. Damn kids and your acronyms. get off my lawn.
In this specific scenario (an autonomous car with apparently fully functioning systems barring a failed brake system with presumably no means of stopping under its own power) I feel the actions of the car should be simple: take as little action as necessary yet stop as soon as it is able. If there was a barrier to…
Reminds me of that old legend about how no terrestrial pen would function in the vacuum of space, so NASA spent years developing a million dollar space pen that would flow ink in sub freezing temperatures in the vacuum of space, while the Russian solution was to give their cosmonauts pencils.
It takes over 43,000,000 Ft-Lbs to get a 650 ton passenger train moving to 30 MPH. It takes over 172,000,000 ft-lbs to get it moving to 60 MPH... unfathomable amounts of energy.
Yeah its the terminus of a bunch of lines. My first guess was it ran through the stoppers too. That is a hell of a lot of energy.
What a loaded, shitty, no possible way to win question. He yells asks a childish question that obviously is designed to ruffle feathers no matter how he answers: “Who is your favorite foreign leader?” Seriously?! What is Johnson going to say? “Well, you see, of all our diplomatic relationships I know I will be tasked…
I don’t disagree, I am contending they are more like two different matters of perspective.
This was the perfect manual transmission candidate... Audi whyyyyyy??????
who let the pedants out?
Agree to disagree... what I call determination you call self limiting.
Funny, in 2005 I saw my first Mclaren F1 at the Ralph Lauren car collection exhibit at the MFA in Boston. Such diametrically opposite settings, yet the car, even in that environment, was far and above the most impressive (and at risk of hyperbole) awe inspiring machine in that exhibit. The severity of its design, the…
Maybe he wants to commit 40 hours per month to becoming a talented automotive finish restoration expert?
ETA Foreward...I know this car didn’t directly come off a track and into Larry’s shop, but follow me down my journey into my imaginary, track patina’d unicorn non-concours car:
