The six banger SHO wasn’t really very quick...

I can second that. I ran across a Mustang and Camaro (both probably autos) racing and passed both in the right 3rd lane - in a “family car”.

Actually it was a variable intake coming on boil. It had two lengths of intake runners - short for high revs (HP) and long for low (torque). That resulted in the “bundle of snakes” manifold. It really went nuts at 4000 RPM - high enough to avoid dreaded torque steer.

....only when it has paint can exhausts, a cold air intake cut springs and super-tinted windows.

I’ve given up trying to shame people into buying cars. All I can do is try to set an example. They just laugh at me, so...sigh....

The Accord looks as ugly as the Camry looks ridiculous.

Yup, my 2103 is near paid off with only 48K miles. Instead of trading it in (it’s got a “bad” Carfax anyway - side airbag deployment), I may just add a Ridgeline and continue breaking the Accord in.

Rain? Hell, how about a nice, frosty blizzard or just sleet? Hit black ice and you’re down no matter what you do or don’t.

Not so. I have never had any bike that could get greater than 35 mpg in the city. Forty five on the highway was about max too. Then again, my smallest was a 650 Yamaha.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer flock of sheep...

I owned an ‘81 - in NY. By now, it’s recycled steel in something really worthless, no doubt. Bought it in San Diego, but as soon as I got it back to NY, the hatch latch area started rusting. The engine was so, ahem, agricultural that it would have been right at home in the pickup. The tranny was a real rock crusher.

Great choice! I’d add this to the stable.

Too bad gravity didn’t take this opportunity to fail just for a minute or two.

See, we have this thing called “winter” up here. It’s very inconvenient and can be messy at times.

I’m shocked - something good coming out of this administration? I take it that the head of the FDA was one of the few that wasn’t fired and replaced with a pharmaceutical czar by the new circus in town.

Looking at the lead photo, it struck me that Snow Crash needs to be done in anime. Hell, no one seems to be interested in doing the movie, right? Anime is the solution.

I gotta ask; wtf does “I support global warming” even mean? Damn, that is either really dumb or deliberately deceptive. To me, saying it and pointing to the exhaust tips means fuck the greenies. It does not mean that he is big on recycling when used in this context.

It does sorta steer itself, doesn’t it? Oversteer is a great name for it. The other thing should be called underplow.

This. What a great company.

Actually, it was the ‘70s when cars were strangled. I was there. The ‘80s is when computers and fuel injection brought life back.
