Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

get a 2.5T or a T5, they are FWD ... also if the Haldex aint working its just dead weight ... it turns itself off if there is a slight problem ... like the overheating issue xD 

I probably will stay away from Volvo in general, because it's not a luxury brand like BMW or Audi, but the cost to maintain is like one.

just because it looks boring to most people ... doesnt mean its not a luxury car brand....

it is a luxury brand like BMW and Audi ... they are the luxury Fords .... well now they are luxury Geelys xD 

they do last longer than BMW .... if not also Audis

They are, but when something does go, then it's gonna get pricey.

You're looking at the wrong kind of women. Also give it time, even a car will learn how to leave you. :P

Ahhahaha. In all seriousness though, love for a person is the most complicated, sweetest sensation there is. I really get the 'loves a drug' saying. 

Oh god. Dilemma no.6892552; pissing of your self driving car :P

Love is a chemical reaction in the brain. You'd think there'd be a cure by now.

There is, it's called heartlessness.

The eliminator pump supports up to 2300bhp. Though if i got a paper cut i'd probably bleed out in a second..

Probably less. But that would be a glorious second to watch. Also

Question for car peoples: Does putting on a massive spoiler (like 2 feet high) on a Civic make it go faster?

 

looks ugly af and my co worker who owns it says it does and only “guys understand” 

 

oh and I guess having exhaust that sounds like someone is shitting their pants.
