We are overstating the final drive’s importance. With these new 10-speeds the difference in effective gearing on the top end is minimal, 100 RPM or so, bewteen the various final drives. I have actually seen accounts on the F150 forums of guys getting better MPG with a shorter FD, because they get up to speed quicker.…

Alex Cranz is the queen of attempting to sound like she knows what she’s talking about, and then utterly failing at it.

That’s one hell of a redneck/white trash festival of stupid right there.

I will never forgive Subaru for not bringing this to the US, Furst they kill the WRX hatch and now this bullshit. I mean seriously if there is a profitable business case and an market for this kind of wagon you have to look no further than Subaru buyers.

I see i3s all the time. I lived in DC previously, but I see plenty in Dallas too.

Come to the bay area, I see about 20 different i3s on my way to work.

Horrible idea. The engine is only going to get the lightest atmospheric elements like Argon and won’t be able to sustain combustion.

I learned all about the frit when I was building a custom fastback for my car. The rear glass was a bear. The first one was made from a custom cut RV windshield. It shattered during the build. The second one was made again from a custom cut RV windshield, and I used a special “frit paint” along the edge. The…

Or, better yet, a more reliable car.

Imagine Lada GAZs surrounding a gold S420 with that purple window tint.

I mean, coal power has made a whole lot more land uninhabitable than nuclear ever has. The fear over nuclear contamination is, in my opinion, not really a relevant argument. The relevant argument is the costs of construction, refueling, and permanent waste storage, which make nuclear less competitive than some other…

More cupholders.
