I wondered this same thing. It’s strange to me, seeing as the manual transmission is already available, just sitting there in the parts bin. I get the feeling both this and the C8 will end up sprouting a third pedal at some point.

I’m here mainly to keep up with the latest dysentery research.

That’s because it is F-Zero!

Yeah, I’m a bit confuzzled by this build on an existential level. It says “Forged and Balanced LS6 engine” in the ad but, IIRC, everything that makes that engine an LS6 was replaced. I presume he means the internal rotating assemblies are forged and balanced, which mean even if the stock LS6 internals were…

Gen Y are the Millenials; it was a placeholder name.

I still wanna beat the idiot who coined “xennial” to death. It’s fucking lazy, and reeks of self-important smugness. And there was already a much more clever, meaningful name for our interstitial cohort: late-stage gen-Xers/early Millenials are the Oregon Trail…

See, that’s the thing. There is no congestion or impedance on the proper road. There have been no “calming” efforts made because the borough I live in is too small (and the part-time elected officials too old-school) to care. Their attitude is “no shit, people are supposed to go faster over there.”

If there’s one…

I hate those things, too. Don’t forget the “My Daddy works here” ones.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.....

My frontage is on a secondary street with a 25mph speed limit, on a significant gradient with (heavily-utilized) parking on both sides and a cross street (that I live at the corner of). The rear of my property is serviced by…

Duuude. . .

My driveway is accessed via a back alley with no curbs. My neighbor has watched the borough’s plow truck annihilate the end of my driveway a couple times now. I’m debating sinking a bollard back there when I get around to widening it.

I like it. Hell, I didn’t know about the Kalk, which would totally be up my alley. Small electric bike/scooter thing? Sweet! But then I went to their site.

At about $5000 USD for the basic Ösa Lite, sorry, but I’d be buying a Grom, Monkey or a Z125 if I’m looking for a light bike to haul along with the trailer.

Shhhhh. . .

Are we sure this isn’t the other way around?

The same people who would buy a CBR650R versus the CBR600RR: someone who drives mostly on the street and is willing to give up those two tenths for a shitload of day to day refinement, comfort and practicality.

Another way of looking at it is you get the M2 if your “fun car” is also your daily. You get the GT350R if…

So you LS-swap a new Supra. . . and it’s now more Toyota than when you started? Shit, I don’t even know which way is up anymore.

Nonconsensual pornography should be treated like a privacy violation, Heard writes, much like the sharing of medical records or Social Security numbers.

Soooooo. . . “Too bad, so sad, I feel for you, happened to my cousin buuuuuut clean up your own mess there, buddy. Here’s a broom. Good luck to ya?” I get the…

Isn’t it more a situation where both statements are correct?

I thought in the RWD-based cars, xDrive actually denoted a specific design of AWD at least, which I believe the current iteration is open diffs front and rear with brake-controlled wheel spin and an electronically controlled transfer case. (Some…

Oh joy, another liter-bike race replica. The only thing in the sportsbike world I currently give two butts about is whether we’ll get the ZX-25R stateside.

I kinda hold the reverse opinion. The GT-R’s no surprise as there’s not a whole helluva lot different between the initial model years and one you can buy new. You’re only getting a “discount” on the usage as the styling and performance is essentially the same. I’d hedge a bet once the GT-R everyone really wants…

Which has stick?

Thanks for the honest assessment. I’ve got an xDrive, because Pennsylvania, and I’ve read a few horror stories. . . Mostly due to the added cost of moving the front pumpkin for half of the engine maintenance. I loved my GTO but I was largely land-locked if snow came through (because the Bruces down in Oz had only…
