You hit the nail on the head.

power per-liter is only a useful metric in racing classes where that is a restriction. In the real world, power per pound, per physical size, and per unit of fuel is what actually matters. Displacement is entirely arbitrary. 

LOL.

You’re not generating 1.21 GW with diesel or steam. Doc Brown had the perfect fuel choice already: nuclear. The power density allows you to carry enough for several time-travel journeys, and you can return to your “present” to refuel when you need to.

Heh I just got my third Delica this week!

perfect time for me to ask something I’ve been trying to figure out: which 4-seat convertible has the most rear legroom? I’ve been suspecting that the Mercedes E-class or S-class would be the winner here but I’m not sure.

Plus, garbage and things smell bad in the summer, and there’s definitely no escaping that.

I assume this is also considered a coupe.

Man, I understand the temptation. Or, I guess I should clarify: In my town, anytime a new business starts up on the main road, a traffic light gets put in. So, over the last 5-10 years, the number of lights has gone up by at least 50%. It’s absolute horseshit. The very concept of this ‘rule’ is crap- you have a main…

That’s slightly slower than my L400 Delica (4436 lbs (actual weight full tank) and 138 hp), but significantly faster than my L300 Delica (4292 lbs (actual weight full tank) and 86 hp).

The answer is, definitively, Buy A New One.

Still not quicker to 30 than anything else.

the lower-powered car will get you to 62mph from rest in 11.7 seconds to the perkier car’s 11.2.

Nice, but the little robots cannot be killed.

This is Jalopnik and nobody here knows that those “buckle alarm stoppers" are for race cars that have both normal 3-point belts and race harnesses?

16:10 is the correct ratio. Been waiting a long, *long* time for the market to finally come around and start embracing this ratio again.

Connecticut has no safety inspection

I had the privilege of growing up in Connecticut, and a while back I asked myself what I would miss most if I moved, say, to the Midwest.

I wonder how much extra you have to pay to get an actual instrument cluster instead of a computer screen?

A couple months ago I might have pointed at my Chevy SS manual, which is still a strong contender, but now I’ll throw out this:
