I have been borrowing a BMW 335D for the last few months while I finish fixing my car, and I have to say, you are absolutely wrong. I consistently get 45-50 MPG highway, even with all the stock emissions hardware installed. On biodiesel, I’ve seen 55 miles per gallon. Refilling the DEF costs about 7 dollars and only…

There are more ways to get better brake performance than just increasing the diameter of the rotor. That's the lazy way of doing it. All you're doing is upsizing the rotor to get a bigger pad onto it. Alternatively, you could just run two calipers, or one large caliper that goes more of the way around the rotor. An…

Average age of my fleet is 41 years. Anything post-1995 counts as a late model in my book. I drive between 50-75k miles per year. An EFI/electronic ignition vehicle is a big no-no for me. For a daily driver, I am very fond of the 70s-mid 80s Japanese made mini trucks. I swap the engine for a 90s-2000s 4 cylinder that…

I wonder if there’s any Tradesman single cabs left... That would have been my choice. Single cab, diesel engine, manual transmission, vinyl seats and floor mats, and not a touch screen in sight. I’ve always loved the interior of the U-Haul trucks. That combined with the ability to put in whatever engine I please…

Actually, they tend to do quite fine with a turbo, even up to relatively high levels of boost. The ring gaps are enormous, the rings themselves are quite thick, and the oiling system is full pressure lubrication. As long as the oil is thick enough, they don't seem to have any major lifespan reduction.

Yeah, apparently someone got the bright idea that if you fill the tires with flex seal, you never have to fill them with air again. One of the tire shops has seen at least 10 this year. Some of them they put the TPS's in a basketball sealed with a tire patch.

Around here the tire shops have been having huge issues with tires that were filled with flex seal or another rubber cement. This looks like it will be a huge improvement for those people and less work for tire shops. Unfortunately they will most likely only come in huge wheel diameters of at least 16 inches, the…

So in that case, the modern equivalent would be either a car built up as a project by the owner or something like a Koenigsegg or other ultra low production high performance car.

Actually, after doing a little research on it, it's actually slightly more unique than that, but not by much. It's cut on a Yale Y1 blank, and is also the fire department key, so it fits all the elevator locks. And while they may sometimes go up for sale, there are perfect pictures all over the internet. It doesn't…

Actually, he wouldn’t even have to have bought or stolen an actual key. Assuming this is not an ultra high security key (eg. Medeco Biaxial with the cuts at different angles), all he would need is a straight down picture of the key lying on a flat surface. From that, he could print it out to size, to match a blank of…

However, not everyone needs the area to be walkable or have entertainment, or schools for that matter. For example, my ideal location would be a multi-acre plot of land with a large distance between me and anyone else. This way I can do my hobbies and not piss everyone off with power tool noise, and have enough space.…

It isn't, but it's not about the process of driving, but paying attention to as much as possible of what's on the road. At night when nobody is on the highway, I'm perfectly fine with the passenger talking. During traffic, where I live, absolutely not. People constantly try to merge into you because they're not…

Clearly he does not, as the description certainly doesn't match any ass I've ever tasted. However, I have never tasted a woman's ass- regardless I seriously doubt that it would taste like that either. 

You halfway beat me to it. I was going to say that I enjoy eating ass. I certainly have never tasted one that matched the description in this article, however. There are for the most part three different general flavors of ass (that I have tasted, I’ve never stuck my tongue in a woman’s ass). It is either bitter,…

Since when does a pothole/puddle/rough pavement require a lane change? I just drive straight through them, and it's a huge advantage because the rest of the traffic tends to move out of the lane.

I refuse to even have electronic ignition in my car. No way in hell will I let electronics drive me around. Nor do I want to do anything else but drive while I’m in my car. Both hands on the steering wheel all the time unless I’m shifting. Passenger talks? Yell at them to shut up because I’m driving. Phone? Usually…

This will certainly make for a very unique investigation due to the plane actually crashing inside a building. It's likely that it will be far easier to investigate than a crash outside, due to the containment of most or all of the parts inside the warehouse.

Or he could have lifted it and put some mud terrains on it. Then it would be able to go over practically any road feature (or off-road feature).

Absolutely. I’ve been pulled over in multiple cars over the years simply because the officer thought it was a cool or unusual car. On a related note I have also been pulled over for lack of an inspection sticker on a few occasions because I was in the process of fixing the car to where it would pass, and got away with…

The old spirit of hot-rodding seems to be mostly lost, both on the older generations that grew up doing it that way, and the young people that grew up in the era of ECUs and fuel injection. Everything seems to be about either “traditional” hot rods, or modern fuel injected cars and engines, and among the younger…
