I’ll name myself as one of those coworkers because my utter hatred for start/stop systems runs that deep. I want to kill start/stop with every conceivable source of fire. Maybe it’s because a lot of our driving here is stop-and-go traffic, but the annoying jutter every time a start-stop system decides to wake back up…

Color matched for full effect:

I would think that chasing someone down would cause them to take more risks than if they weren’t being pursued. Unless you’re planning on shooting out their tires or ramming them off the road, what purpose does following them serve?

It’s sodium carbonate (soda ash) that’s removing the oil/grease. The declamine oxide is the surfactant that makes the bubbles to lift it off the surface.

I’m not a VW fan by any means, but I loved reading this. There’s nothing quite like a good car story, I think anybody with a love for cars can appreciate this noble quest. And seeing the car community come together to help this guy out is rad.

Mitsubishi made some badass cars in the 90s: Eclipse GSX/GST, Galant VR4, 3000GT VR4, Evolution

This publicity stunt aside, which I think was creative and funny - (though I watch on cc.com because we don’t get Comedy Central here so I only got to see the ‘hack’ pop up on twitter.)

Do people still send the old school death threats through mail or is it mostly email and texts these days? Something charming about receiving a letter with type face cut out of various news and magazine clippings detailing the horrific demise I’m about to face.

Please sirs can I have some more?

I recently discovered it and it is wonderful and a breath of fresh air from the usual car shows. Really, Mr. Torchinsky nails it. Mr China will sit down on the show and go over step by step what is needed to fix a particular piece of a car. This clip is a great example of his work: how to replace the drive motor on an…

There’s two possibilities here...

No, you just haven’t found the switch. Its on the left of the steering wheel.....

Also not widely known - the rumble strips at the sides of motorways are to let blind drivers know what road they’re on and what junction’s coming up...

All thoughts should somehow involve a Unimog.

A Mercedes O319, to be exact.

That car isn’t a Capri. It was a Mustang in drag.

A used electric Fiat! What could possibly go wrong?

The flow path for the air is significantly nicer compared to a poppet valve. Also in theory since your port into the head is both the exhaust and intake port, you can get an unusually high cross sectional area for the port. The design also eliminates valve float as there is no reciprocating mass so the natural…

May I suggest for your next project that you try sleeve valves? That should provide hours of toil and frustration too!

I guess it depends on how they define operable. its currently not legal to drive like that so it would be easy to argue that it is not an operable vehicle.
