I guess my question is why didn’t this genius 1) turn on the electronic nannies 2) turn on launch control 3) wait for the motorcyclist to pass before flooring it 4) just go buy a car he can handle like a Prius?

It’s been forever since I took physics in college so I’m not the definitive expert by a long shot.

Not a physicist. But common sense says the weight will shift forward lightening the rear end. Then if you’re a little off axis and crossed up and the tires suddenly grip the pavement again it’ll launch you into the nearest ditch by the side of the road.

Needs more torque? Compared to what? A half million dollar Aventador? That’s a bit like saying it’s better to live in Malibu than Torrance. No duh. Compared to a Camaro or Mustang? If that’s your thing then great, but really a completely different market.

It’s a good thing the Tennessee St athletes are being compensated for playing six matches in a single day just so their school’s athletic department can earn some extra cash. Oh wait, this is women’s tennis so I guess they won’t see a dime. But the football team should get a good pay day.

I found my local dealers didn’t want any part of the warranty work, probably not enough profit in it. Had to find a local independent shop (shout out Svensson Auto in Lafayette, CA) who sorted me out in a couple of hours one morning.

Baseball isn’t for adrenaline junkies. You go to the park, sit out in the sun for a few hours, drink a few beers, grab a hot dog, chit chat with friends, appreciate the strategy and thinking that’s going on during the game. It’s a very relaxing way to spend a sunny summer afternoon.

Had an 87 Civic si for awhile, the absolute most fun you could have with 91 hp. Barely ticking 2000 lbs it handled like a go cart and felt great revving the tits off the single cam engine with the 5 speed. JDM markets got a dual cam 122 hp monster ;) but even our domestic 1.5l motor got down the road just fine and…

Also if you rotate your tires on a regular basis your tires will wear more evenly and last longer. Most recommend every 6 months or 6 to 8 thousand miles but I find I’m fine doing it once a year.

I keep having to educate people who think the A’s are terrible. Top three team in the AL in most hitting categories. If they can find some pitching then we may have to upgrade them from mediocre.

AL Team Hitting Leaders:

Ask them how much experience they have driving a stick, then use your best judgement. I’ve sold older cars where I didn’t care that much and pristine newer cars where I wouldn’t let Lewis Hamilton test drive it. If they seem like serious buyers and seem like they know what they’re doing then I’m sure it’ll be fine.

The Red Sox can hit, no doubt. But did you watch the game? Ohtani had none of his secondary pitches and his command on even the fastball was iffy. Everything was up in the zone, his curve had no bite and he almost hit a bunch of guys with his splitter. There was obviously something wrong with him.

In the words of Mina Kimes, “Noooooooooooo!”.

Tammie Jo you can fly me anywhere, nice job.

Blazers limped into the playoffs and the Pelicans closed the season like they were on a mission. This one looks like it might not make it back to Portland.

Send him to the Arizona Fall League! Oh wait it’s still mid-April and only his third start.

OK, the rear main seal is a problem. Everything else isn’t that big a deal. Even the timing belt, I did mine on my 2JZ SC coupe last year along with the water pump, tensioner, bearings, pulleys, cam seals, suspension bushings, etc. Complete refresh done in my driveway. Runs like new. And it’s a Lexus so it’ll run…

Elon’s cracking the whip. 24/7 work schedules, cutting expenditures to the bone. What next, cutting corners on build quality to achieve profitability and please the shareholders? Congratulations, Tesla is now a real car company just like everyone else.
