Sure. Booting the accelerator from a light means you will mistime the next. This leads to a cycle of start-stop driving that ultimately consumes more time than accelerating at a reasonable rate to the speed limit and then moving at a constant speed. When engineers study traffic, this sort of phenomenon actually shows…

This is just totally false.

Oh, by the way, the follow-up I forgot to mention: In CA, you can fail a smog inspection for having modified parts, regardless of the outcome of the actual emissions test. As per protocol, they conduct the emissions test before they do a visual inspection. So what that means is your car can demonstrate that it…

Until a couple of years ago I lived in California. Performance parts are illegal to fit to road vehicles unless they’re for off-road use only, as suggested under the proposed regulation. However, in California an emissions inspection is often mandatory to register a car, and they can and will note performance parts…

Yeah, pretty much. Isn’t this a crazy world?

It’s probably to make the ridiculously light rear end more manageable, even if that does mean a little more rear grip.

Chill.

I’m not demonizing anyone. I’m literally giving my rationale for why I am voting for Sanders over Clinton. I think he will be better, in the long run, for progressive politics in the United States, even if his campaign promises are not bound to come true. On that specific point, we obviously have different assessments…

Obama promised great things and couldn’t deliver. I am totally ok with that. I still see his compromises as achievements. But that modest achievement still began from a place of great idealism, so I’m wary of shooting too low. Political opposition will never give a president exactly what they want, and any policy will…

I’m not arguing those things will happen. I’m arguing that universal health care, free public tuition, etc are progressive mainstays and have been floated by the left for years. Arguing against those not in a general election, but in a primary, is admitting that the DNC is no longer looking for a big progressive…

Totally not a bad thing. But “moderate vs progressive” is bad optics if you’re running for the nomination of a supposedly progressive party, Clinton and Sanders are both well aware of that. Clinton has backpedaled on her ‘moderate’ pride in an attempt to reframe the question as “practical vs idealistic” or whatever…

A downpipe and cutting out the muffler does wonders.

There has to be a special place in hell for small town police chiefs. I don’t know why it bugs me so much, but investigators literally determined that the fire was caused by the pressure release dumping the fuel (i.e. to prevent it from exploding like a missile), then the chief says it “exploded like a missile.”

These guys are more genuine and relatable than Jeremy ever was. Try to imagine Marty or Moog writing an asinine op-ed about transgender people or writing off a racial slur as an accident. Hammond and, particularly, May were more essential to making TGUK enjoyable than Clarkson’s yelling.

I believe only the 780 of that generation had IRS, although I may be wrong.

Guess this dude hasn’t heard of “punk time.”

That’s a fair point, but what’s with that on one hand, and on the other, Clinton making jabs at Sanders for not wanting to debate in his ‘back yard?’

You know what doesn’t have DEF injection, and is therefore not actually as clean as you claim?

“In accordance with the Buddhist rituals of Bali” was probably a difficulty.

I’d love a winter Trollblazer beater. Trollbleater?
