When I owned a Fiero, a common refrain from the platform faithful was that if GM had not killed the car in 88, 90 was going to see the Iron Duke phased out in favor of the Quad 4, possibly a turbocharged variation. Of course, the same people claim that the reason GM killed the Fiero in 88, after it finally got the…
Sounds like classic Republican projection here, folks. Tucker Carlson calls Rutger Bregman a “fucking moron”, it’s probably because Carlson knows he is the moron, but he needs to call someone else the moron because Republicans can’t admit to anything.
Nothing you put in the recycling bin gets recycled anyway. The recycling sham got exposed when China stopped accepting all of our “recycled” garbage. The industry has long known this, which is why so much non-recyclable packaging exists. The wool was taken off of the consumer’s eyes only recently. Until actual…
It’s “Projection”. The Republicans are extremely good at it at this point. Have it down to a science. Basically a conservative does something, say, stand around for a government handout, and then turns around, points at the Democrats, then shrieks loudly enough to break glass that Democrats want to give handouts to “Th…
You joke. But if he runs for president, and for all his presidency if he wins, the Republicans will be attacking him daily, no, hourly, with garbage “scandals” like this. Remember Obama? Remember the arugula? The spicy mustard?
You are thinking too rationally. They “feel threatened” by electric vehicles because “The other side”, politically speaking, are who tends to like electric vehicles. These are the same kind of people that will cut off their own nose just to spite their face. The activity in which they partake is “stigginit”. Teslas…
I remember finding, and playing, a patched version of ET that had improved (read: finished) collision detection. It was fun, it was playable, you didn’t fall down pits randomly. As it sits, the collision detection is unfinished; If any part of the ET sprite touches a pit, you fall into it. The patched version changed…
He wants a vehicle to be his armor, and yet in all the comments, nobody has suggested the nigh-indestructable Toyota Hilux. The best armor is an armor that cannot be breached. I challenge you to find a tougher car.
I suspect you’re either being sarcastic, or you don’t know how a drag diesel works. The smoke goes black because the fuel is going dead rich when they start to spool the turbos. In this case, three of them. The reason for the dead rich mixture is because those three turbos, if this truck is like most other race…
It is a directed EMP, kind of. An EMP works by generating microwaves which induce current in circuitry which fries it. This is the same thing only less intense.
GM killed the Fiero because in its final 1988 trim, after it ditched the Chevette and Citation suspension for its own suspension, it was becoming a threat to the C4 corvette which The General couldn’t allow.
That black rubber bar about midway along the vehicle looks like where the vehicle would be most likely to come in contact with a pole of it were trying to turn too tightly around one. That also joves with the front and back edges of the cargo box being padded for low hanging eaves and overhangs. I think it is part of…
While I hold by my conviction that side by sides are stupid, I take back what I said about this being stupid. This thing is, I would argue, not a side by side. It occupies the same legal space that the Mexican Beetle did; After reading this article, it’s a jeep. Period. But because it’s new, it doesn’t meet federal…
10 to 20k dollars would buy you a pretty badass enclosed body 4x4 on the used market. One with a windshield, a heater, more towing capacity, more cargo space, and seating for five adults in comfort. Side by sides are stupid. A truck is always going to be a better utility vehicle than these expensive toys.
A 280ZX. And a 2+2 no less. Lets open the floodgates of hate, so everyone who’s never driven one, but just knows, that because it’s not a 240Z (A tempermental, rattly, vapor locking 240Z) that it’s utter garbage and that they should all be burned.
I thought sure it had a single turbo model! I am shamed.
Keep in mind, I did say within the Z-code chassis. The Z31 is an acquired taste and is of its time. The Z34 looks, to my eye, much better and more proportional than the Z33. Of course none of them look quite as nice as the Z32. I’d give it this grading, from best looking to lest best looking, based just on what I have…
If you ever look at the housing that’s being built, it’s all either McMansions, or it’s “Luxury” apartments/townhouses. It’s the “Luxury” modifier that lets developers build out a big huge apartment block and charge 2500 bucks a month for a 500 Sq. Ft studio
Nissan Z (S30) was sold with engine displacements between 2.4 and 2.8 liters. The body style, however, remained the same, and aside from small cosmetic changes, the only changes made were those that kept it legal. It was on sale from 1970 to 1978. 8 years.
