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

That word alone refutes excitement.

Oh is it a 5.0? I thought they were getting the 6.7 or the 5.9...

 

Last I checked it was the same 5.0 as the Titan.... Atleast it's a diesel...

System: Thinkpad T460

People that don't turn their lights on deserve to be hit with a brick.

 

I'm that annoying person that will flash at you, trying to tell you to turn them on.

 

Today I actually turned around to tell someone that they didn't have their lights on.

I really wish Toyota hadn't canned the Supra, Celica, and MR2. they were some of the coolest cars ever. now if I want one, I have to pay though the nose to get one, or it's super old.

 

I still want a 1st Gen MR2 though.

 

 

I white knuckle the oh shit handle riding shot gun with some of my friends...

my mom does that to me all the time. it drives me nuts, and I'm not even a bad driver, it's just because I'm young.

@brownninja97 FYI the tudor archives for Petit are up. Theres only 7 hours of actual racing, as the IMSA officials decided to call it early due to decaying visibility and excessive standing water (ontop of the yellow and red flag conditions). In case you didnt follow the live blogs, everybody was hydroplaning and the reason the GTLM cars did so well was they have better mechanical grip in these conditions.

This car from yesterday might get some of you excited

 

I like the car but I personally think that this example is excessively styled. Rear intakes for what? The multiple front vents added made it look spotted to my eyes. I'd also be surprised if those tires don't scrape. Maybe the owner takes it to shows.

 

I really wish Toyota hadn't canned the Supra, Celica, and MR2. they were some of the coolest cars ever. now if I want one, I have to pay though the nose to get one, or it's super old.

I am sure they weren't selling strong enough to convince the maker to develop a replacement.

really, now that those were gone, along with the camry solara, toyota hasn't made a single coupe for the american market. Everything's 4 doors. WHEN THE FUCK IS TOYOTA GONNA COME OUT WITH ANOTHER COUPE (And no, the FR-S/BR-Z-GT86 doesn't count. that was a joint project. it has to be by toyota solely.)

This weekend our family has gone from 0 functioning cars to 3!

 

The Audi has new bags up front and a new coolant res.

 

I replaced the alternator and battery on my Bimmer.

 

And my Infiniti has been hammered, duct taped, and WD-40'd together. :P

I done been through a whole lot. Trial, tribulations, but I know God - Kendrick Lamar

Is it adjustable? Like can you lower the car using a remote?

I thought your Infiniti was no more. Or was that someone else?

It is adjustable. There are two little buttons in the car that raise and lower the car. 4 or 5 setting IIRC.

 

The Infiniti is still alive, albeit barely. Falling apart, as always. Motor is getting pulled out next summer and I'm most likely scrapping the shell. I'll get more money like that than if I try to sell it.
