Car: “Get out and walk fatty”

Very cool, thanks for the informative video. Tisha comes across as a great person to be around.

Interesting, I run an aluminum block 5.3L in a GM 1/2 ton, hopefully the design flaw skipped my production year.

Bruce, I see your keys and eyeglasses are tethered to yourself, you’re a practical, organized man. And at 6'3", you’re a tall man. And by identifying the mid-life crisis car trope, you know whats what.

I was with you until “definitely are not symbols of racism as some media outlets may want you to believe.” Writing 101 should have taught you the power of strong words like definitely. Try “in my fantasy world” next time, then it can be a truthful statement.

Three words, no.

For those wondering:

Wool? Great material. Superb contrast to the cold calculations of carbon fibre, aluminum and fibreglass.

You can do 2 or 3 of these launches before you’ve drained the batts. The Roadkill guys have an episode where they speak of it.

Lets not reimagine everything :) Just that the business case for alternative fuels will not be as strong as it used to be.

If Trump guts the EPA as discussed, betting on electric cars is a poor choice.

Lots to be said here; focus on the cars obviously as well as the drivers/owners. With a historical reference, lets see how it ticks, its historic and current strengths and challenges, cut to 2 mins of Cars & Coffee style chatting with the owner, then lets see how they like to drive it, then lets visit their latest…

The sound of a BMW M20 straight six. Old school, single valve per, no variable valve timing. The snarl as it climbs onto the cam is delightful and sharp. The burble on decel, old school as well.

Good article that is relevant. “Getting from a 3°C path down to a 2°C (or less) path would require a course correction in the very near future. Even with the pledged emissions cuts, the “budget” of greenhouse gas we can emit without going above 2°C will be nearly spent by 2030—and the 1.5°C budget will be gone.”

Fact: The base case lifespan for designing pipelines is 50 years. Many pipelines were built that long ago and are having their lifespan extended via increased maintenance and monitoring.

Good read, thanks Patrick.

:) I don’t know much about Nissan’s Juke, but would suggest the AWD and comfortable seats in a CUV or wagon configuration. It’ll be reasonable on gas, and for all the movie style “storm chasing” we think you’re going to do, the reality (I’m guessing) is you’ll very rarely be off pavement. I like the idea of blasting…

Roselli is seeing the light with that 3/4 ton GMC, but none of these make ingress/egress easy for a child.

came looking for the 240sx drift sled that is JUST. SO. AWESOME. boyisitever. Its been called out, all is right with the world. Next.

Good point, wish I had more first hand experience with both front suspensions to comment. Thinking the Taco with its 1000 lbs less may not need fancy Raptor front suspension... just big ol’ bump stops. Kabaam!
