Just about all GM v6 engines leak(ed) at the lower intake manifold, the 60º 6s were the worst about it though.

PRNDL auto with a lever that moves to the selected spot is ideal for an auto–Column or floor-mounted, it wasn’t broken to begin with.

What was wrong with the old way of having shift levers actually move to–and stay in, selected spots in the available range of motion, with tactile feedback? Oh, that’s right it’s “old” we can do it “better” now with technology!

There’s always this future steering wheel possibility:

I haven’t met any Viper Club members, but I’m right there with you on owning a Blue & White GTS (and joining the club)

Close… Moses Lake

After getting taxpayers to pay for a stadium, the owners turn around and get some big corporate to cough up even more money to put their name on it. Publicly funded stadiums should have a clause that dictates naming: Taxpayer Field/Stadium/Arena etc. (at least until the public fund comitment is finished)

You’re thinking of the Firepower

By the time Tesla delivers just the pre-orders for the Model 3, their charging connector will effectively become the de-facto standard. Similar to how Internet Explorer became the de-facto standard web browser by market share, just with less monopoly.

Neutral: Add a credit card reader at each station, just like any pay-at-the-pump fuel station. Achieve a de-facto industry standard status with the plug (which would be a lot easier with another 350,000 cars) and let any EV pay to recharge there.

This weekend: Local Sprint car races Saturday with Monaco, Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday

I had a Verano as a rental for a couple of days last summer. Blind spots that could hide a battleship and a peaky turbo engine that gave me anything but linear power (Compared to my Ranger’s NA 4.0 and much better visibility). It was a pleasant enough space to be in though – it actually had a light interior

Various flavors of the 3800 (NA and SC) were 90º sixes and were in lots of FWD GM cars. The 3100/3400 engines were 60º sixes.

“Languishing with part 2 of when he rolled his baja bug” was going to be my guess

Will autonomous cars make traffic worse? I can’t say.

Fire investigators can usually spot the cause of a fire fairly quickly. An electrical problem caused by dodgy or illegal wiring would likely be pretty obvious. Considering the grow operation escaped the fire, it’s unlikely they’re the cause (unfortunately)

The crazy bit about Mitsubishi’s cheat, is that it was just over-inflated tires to reduce rolling resistance… If that got past a government test, somebody inside was helping, or the test was so lax “check tire pressure vs. spec” wasn’t part of the process.

We have the “footprint rule” as describe above because of the PT Cruiser. It’s economy was so poor, Chrysler used some sort of removable seats loophole to get it classified as a light truck!

Not to disount race preparations & modification (which are significant), but these GT cars have far more in common with their road-going counterparts than anything running in NASCAR does with theirs

Aren’t they still engineered and built in Sweden? If we’re not calling Dodge an Italian automaker, I guess we can still call Volvo Swedish.
