There aren’t enough shooting brakes in the world.

I find that Mr. Regular makes a lot of technical mistakes in his videos. He obviously loves cars but he’s more of a writer than an engineer.

The Infiniti G35 also had it. 

There is actually a limit to the number of bitcoins that can be mined. As time goes on, it becomes harder and harder to generate more bitcoin. If you had a laptop and some software, it was easy to make hundreds of bitcoins early in bitcoin’s life. Now, you need parallel computers running the latest GPUs to create

Uh, pretty much any car made in the past 20 years have DFCO. There are older ones as well. It’s not some new tech.

Look up deceleration fuel cutoff. You use LESS gas if you coast in gear because your injectors completely shut off and your engine is spinning from your car’s momentum. When you’re coasting in neutral, you are just idling your engine. so your alternator is running slowly and the engine is burning gasoline.

But why do it at all? It’s not an insignificant amount of wear on the bearing and pressure plate. It could mean the difference between needing a new throwout bearing BEFORE your clutch needs replacing or your bearing lasting at least as long as your clutch. That’s money right there because if you do one, most likely

Coasting in gear uses no fuel to turn your engine. Coasting in neutral requires fuel to turn the engine since it’s not connected to your wheels.

Agreed. I just dumbed it down because my point was about that reasoning in general. Brake fade is the main concern both from hot brakes and boiled fluid.

I don’t think it’s really racism against Koreans. Koreans are probably genetically closest to Chinese when compared to Japanese and definitely closer than SE Asians. Also, the anti-Korean sentiment is NOTHING compared to the anti-Japanese sentiment in China.

I never coast in neutral. But I do that because it conserves fuel and keeps the alternator running for just a bit longer. I’m just saying, keeping your car in gear has little to nothing to do with being able to maneuver out of a sticky situation.

Well, it’s technically possible to shatter your clutch, but it’s unlikely. At the same time, frequently dumping your clutch at high engine speeds will eventually break something on your car. You’re exposing a lot of driveline components to a lot of shock.

You know that when you coast in gear, the engine is using zero fuel right? It’s called deceleration fuel cut-off. That’s why you should actually keep the car IN gear while coasting to a stop. If you shift into neutral, the engine will have to use fuel to keep itself running unless you have auto start-stop. But even if

You want to minimize the amount of time you have your foot on the clutch. It will wear out the throwout bearing and the pressure plate. That said, this is bad advice. You should just keep it in the gear you had it in and shift into neutral at the last possible moment. This allows your engine to shut off fuel injection

That’s only if you’re traveling downhill. It’s to prevent people from wearing out their brakes. The common trope that it’s to “maintain control of your car in an emergency” is pretty ridiculous if you think about it. Steering or stopping is the most effective way to get out of a sticky situation. When’s the last time

There’s no reason to put your car in neutral while you coast to a stop. Just leave it in gear and slow your car down. Depress the clutch pedal before your engine bogs or stalls so you minimize the time you are coasting without the engine connected to the wheels. You don’t have to downshift, since that will add

Those wheels and door handles are realistic. And it has rear view mirrors. That’s not really a style concept. That’s probably just a late draft of the actual car.

It’s because this class of car is extremely competitive and features like this add very little actual cost per unit. There’s a sensor and a control unit and that’s pretty much it. It’s why cheaper cars came with Bluetooth audio standard before luxury cars did. And even the cheaper luxury cars (like the C Class) came

Dude, calm down. Are you trying to say that unless the product is 100% perfect for all situations, that it’s completely useless and has zero utility? There’s nothing in between? Any sane person knows that these are backup systems. If you fail your duties as a responsible driver, then the car MIGHT be able to save you

Dude, large cars can be fun to drive. The Chevy SS is a big car and fun to drive. Even a sport SUV like an X5 M or Macan can be fun to drive. I prefer a small car, sure, but it’s all relative. If you drive a certain size of car all the time, that’s just what’s “normal” to you. Getting into something smaller is novel,
