It also lapped faster than the Porsche 918, the previous record holder. So there’s your apples-to-apples comparison if you prefer.

If you had destroyed a 6.5 Diesel, you would have really been doing your dad a favor, as well as saving the motor the inevitable trouble of destroying itself.

I don’t particularly like the GM trucks, but that is actually a really nice feature. I’ve hauled around a hanging file box for years to keep track of paperwork for multiple jobsites. Having one built into the truck would be pretty handy.

Was there a right turn involved?

Maybe that was the company line when they made the switch from the NA 6.2 to the FI motor (and I have my doubts about that), but there’s absolutely no validity to that rationale now. The new I-6 is called a 53 because it’s halfway between 43 and 63. It’s no more complicated than that.

Lots of people care how a work truck looks - especially fleet trucks. In a privately owned company, the business owners name is often plastered on the truck. Many of these business owners have a fairly healthy ego, and they don’t want their name associated with an ugly-ass truck that, at first glance, looks like…

There is, unfortunately, no evidence that would confirm that RHD is inherently safer than LHD. One can only infer from the accident rates, but that fails to account for myriad other factors. The numbers are also skewed by the fact that the majority of the world - including the third world, where traffic fatality rates…

Counterpoint: when Gordon Murray designed the F1, he could have put the shifter on either side of the driver, but he chose place it to the driver’s right. Why? Because RHD is dumb and wrong. Also, single seat racecars - including F1 and Indy when they still had gear levers - have the shifter on the right. The most…

That’s because it is. In the R&T article it says that it’s 120 degrees.

Man, you are kicking some serious straw-man ass today. Nobody has said anything about hating Chinese anything. That said, until I see a Chinese designed and built car pass a US crash test, I’m going to hold off on calling them an industrial and engineering equal to Europe and North America.

I think you mistakenly posted an A40 instead of an A60 since THAT was clearly the best Celica Supra.

The necessarily complicated electronics of a hybrid, coupled with the German compulsion to make even the simple complicated = CP at any price.

PS: this is breach of contract. It’s cut and dry. Cena violated the terms of the sale which were clearly explained and agreed upon. There is no case law that could help him here.

Was this similar to their “finders - keepers” ruling? Or perhaps the landmark “he who smelt it, dealt it” decision?

Neither the owner or the builder “had” the film made. They allowed Chris Kippenberger to make the video two years after the car was completed. Read Orlove’s article about the car. You’ll understand how and why it was “hush, hush”.

Yes. But the Veyron was ugly as hell because it had to incorporate all those radiators, whereas this is...hmmmm.

Just awful. Take your damn star.

There is definitely hydrogen in the water. There are, in fact, twice as many hydrogen atoms as there are oxygen atoms in the water.

For the most part, yes. It provides better leverage for the drivers. The biceps and triceps can get involved, not just the neck and shoulder muscles. The wheels and seats in Cup/Xfinity cars are similarly close for the same reason.

I agree with this approach. I had a ‘74, and I miss it almost daily. Victoria British in Lenexa, KS is your friend on this one. Hop on their website, make your parts list, and melt a credit card or two. When running properly, a Midget or it’s sister, an Austin Healey Sprite, is an absolute blast. If you need evidence,…
