I was under the impression that the change in testing procedure was mandated by the SAE, in an attempt to get manufacturers to report numbers that were more in line with real-world usage. No more cherry-picked, port-matched, balanced and blueprinted engines running with no accessories.

Good thing it wasn’t a huge heavining, or it could have been even worse!

Will they be on display at the New York Autokenetic Exposition?

Is she single? Asking for a friend...whom I don’t like...

“The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are good options, too.”

“driving bliss can be enjoyed by many more typical drivers on a day to day basis through the advances of traction control, launch control, dynamic driver settings, 8 speed ZF automatic transmission and DSG transmissions”

Can confirm. I was in a band in the early 80s. We gigged with a ‘68 Chevy Van and my ‘73 Pontiac Catalina. Both were beat to hell while we were just weekend warriors, by the time we finished our “first” (and last) tour, they were done.

Gulp it!

Boring and old. A search on my local CL for cars in the 2500-3000 range gives:

LOL, I was guessing he had an OBD-II app and was able to diagnose the failure and get back on the track. Whoops!

They could have at least sent a cable. I guess all it takes is a simple shift in policy to derail a business plan nowadays.

Looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue!

So at least the city isn’t saddled with the disposal costs.

Speaking as the owner of a Dodge Grand Caravan SXT -- put it towards beer instead.

I believe current plans are for louder pipes, and an exhaust brake. The current technical issue is getting the exhaust to pivot forward, so it can be used as a “retro-rocket” for additional deceleration.

I like that part #12 in the first diagram is the rider’s beer gut.

As a 944 owner, I agree.

FWIW, when I’ve tried this (for fun, when I’m deleting a virtual system), it often fails once /bin has been removed, as it forks a new process running “/bin/rm” for each subtree. I usually wind up with systems with no /bin or /etc, but /opt and /user are still there. Not a usable system, but it certainly would have…

But probably doesn’t shower...

No, that would be “rm --evidence --copy-to-secret-usb-stick  && plot --complication=2"
