Its not that big of a deal. I bought a used WRX in 2011 for 11k with 80k miles. i had to finance 8k of it because i didn’t have that much liquid cash.  I paid it off a couple years later after it had crested 100k miles.  The loan i got was thru a credit union so the rate was reasonable and the monthly payments were…

are we allowed to, like, tip the TSA agents?  imagine if they put out jars?

It looks to me like the gearbox they’re showing is an automated manual.  any word on that?

that’s a whole bag of meh.

no one cares what it looks like, correct.

the new “Heavyweight” edition made from depleted uranium?

This is what I see when I load the article.

Yes diameter has a small part in the contact patch size but width and weight on the tire are the biggest factors, not tire diameter.

so considering the new 911 now comes with 21-inch rear wheels

counterpoint: if the removable hardtop is cheaper than $2755 (the difference between a soft-top Club and RF Club) then this is a good idea for people living in areas with 4 distinct seasons. You can put the hard top on in the winter to help insulate but keep it off in the summer.

As a person who lives in NY and cares about the environment:

sure. They’d say use forged and machined aluminum wheels with no tires.

is that...  a...  a flywheel?  Does this mean...  manual transmission?

If anyone’s interested, it looks like the 0% financing offer is extended to the Fiesta ST but NOT the Focus ST or RS...

better efficiency in combustion control for OHC. Some Chevy’s V6s are DOHC, some arent.

think of the synchros as just wet versions (i.e. covered in trans fluid) of a manual transmission clutch disk.  They use friction to gradually change the rotational speeds of two shafts running at different speeds.

using the clutch also saves the synchros in your transmission.

Diesel engines work like this.

The crankshaft would not stop spinning. If it does, that’s stalling the motor.

If i had to guess its because making a car water-tight would make it heavier and therefore worse on the road where the majority of them would be used.
