Give them an inch...

Brake parts cleaner works miracles on oil stains.

Don’t take this the wrong way but I think you might not be all that tuned (get it, tuned) into the car culture. Plenty of DIY going on out there, and actually tons of people modifying programming. It happens everywhere in the enthusiast world.

There's a lot of people out there that are cooler than any of us will ever be.

It's a rabbit...that's what rabbits do.

Who knew you could do that with oil made from natural gas?

I don't like seeing decent cars treated this way, I don't care what they are or who owns them. V6 Camaros need love too! I'm not sure if this was supposed to be funny or what. Definitely not a cool video like they tried to say at the end.

I think this sounds like a good idea. Easier to control the assist of an electric motor than to control the boost of a turbo. I wonder what they will do when we start seeing turbos compounded with motor/generators on road cars?

Ditch whatever and sell me this in the U.S.

It's just a metaphor, I would hoon one of these bad boys any day.

It terrible, it's awesome, it's terribly awesome!

The planetary gearset on the Prius only blends ICE input with MG2 drive to the wheels, and driving MG1 as a generator. MG2 is fixed to the rotation of the wheels just as the two electric motors are in the Koenigsegg. (I have the guts of a Prius drivetrain spread across a workbench in my shop even as we speak.) There

That totally sucks that Ford lost the "Futura" name. :-)

There is no gear reduction in the Prius, the only gear ratio is in the final drive, just as it is with the Regera. Who needs gear reduction when you primary traction motor is electric?

Actually it's very much correct. The Prius and other power split or series/parallel systems don't have a transmission with any kind of gear ratio other than what is in the final drive. They blend output from electric motors and gasoline engine through a planetary gearset. The gasoline engine does not contribute much

So it really kind of works like a Prius except it uses a fluid coupling instead of a planetary gearset. If they want to call that no transmission I suppose it's accurate.

Being a resident of Wyoming and having been to Yellowstone more times than I can count, the biggest mistake I see people make is thinking that the whole place is just a big Disneyland. They are there on vacation but the animals are not. This guy probably never thought this would happen in a million years so he just

I would buy a Subaru, but would neither eat granola, nor would I wear white sunglasses.

And you told your mom that math was useless!
