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

It's the same with San Francisco, but you still see Ferrari/Lamborghini/Maserati after Ferrari/Lambo/Maserati.

I've been to both cities (SF many times) and they don't really relate much. 

The Traffic in NY is way more concentrated, the streets are narrower, and style of driving is even more hectic in NY.

I feel like SF is the same. People change lanes at the last second, people run red lights a lot, and especially on Market Street, jaywalking. And plus, some streets are only a lane each direction. In an already traffic dense city, it just makes things worse.

Why? When I think if NYC, i think of high rise apartments, lots of money, super expensive cars, that stuff.

new york is nothing like that. To be honest, you are better off without a car in nyc. Its that bad. Its on a whole other level than sf.

I was under the impression that you almost needed a car to survive in LA.

But again LA is huge in a level I can't even imagine. Yet. I want to go to the US at least once in my life.

You pretty much do. Public transport would require you to leave your house about an extra 3 hours early if you want to go somewhere farther than your local are.

It could happen, since there have been quite a few dedicated petrolheads here, aka me. I contributed almost 2000 posts.

I would have contributed that much if I hadn't completely forgotten for a while after it started. Even made it on the first page :D

My car is in the US I'm in Turkey at. Even if I did have a car I still wouldn't be able to do it since gas costs at least twice the price in the US.

I would have such a huge feast in the middle of the night if I had to do that lol

We do. We do.
