I’d call the music festivals the “San Francisco Effect.”

Capitalism! You should read a bunch of Foucault then vote for Bernie Sanders. It’ll help if you enroll in a college as an undergrad, too.

Better solution. See if the Domino’s driver is open to “negotiating.”

As an underage U student I’ll buy him a cup of coffee when you’re done.

Jason, you were already my favorite Jalopnik writer. However, when I was scrolling through the front page and saw this post, I frightened my girlfriend by making a series of sharp, exclamatory noises she’s never heard before. Thank you, mostly?

Here in the Midwest a typical electric car (calculated using a Nissan Leaf rated at 34 KWh per 100 miles) will cause about 5% fewer emissions when charged by coal than a gasoline car making 20 mpg. Obviously it’s probably even with a more efficient gas car, but the environmental impact is significantly lessened when…

It’s rear-wheel drive and handles well. Sounds pretty BMW to me.

That’s more a T7 problem. T5 has stronger piston rings and therefore less blowby.

Neither did the finest dual-driver monitors China could cram into my infantile ears.

Some engineer lost a lot of sweat and tears over crumpled up photos of fuselage bracing.

The low specific displacement of Mazda engines comes from their Atkinson cycle, while their high efficiency is a product of their extreme compression ratio. Interesting to compare Mazda’s unconventional gambit to more traditional Otto cycle engines. It seems to be working out for the specific efficiency-first…

Probably because she’s really good at it (no matter whether or not she’s undefeated).

No matter what Jalopnik says, you don’t want a sports car for your first car. You want a car that’s extraordinarily forgiving and practical, that you can have a lot of fun driving and that your friends and insurance will see as “boring.” Look at something like a Sentra SE-R Spec V of the same vintage. A Miata,…

Center exit exhausts, though.

I don’t think that’s apples to oranges. The Audi MLB platform uses a longitudinal engine with a permanent torque split or vectoring center differential. I would consider the FWD models an AWD platform with some missing driveshafts.

Lol sorry. Vermont tuners.

Check out the Vtuner website. They got their start tuning Saabs.

I guess it depends on the turbo. Most small Garretts of previous decades are awful. Mitsubishis are almost bulletproof and I thought that’s what most Volvos used but if not, that could be corrected. Most turbo failures are deeply tied to oil and PCV health.

If you want a reliable turbo, I’d buy a Volvo (where everything will break except the engine) or a GM car (where engineers in Realtree hats stole 30 years of turbo research from Trollhatan).

We’re starting with FWD.
