I think you're entirely misunderstanding what I'm saying.

This is a very extreme example of the point I'm making.
They crashed a much larger, heavier car (1959 Chevrolet Impala) into a smaller, lighter car (2009 Chevrolet Malibu). The 1959 Chevy had a...
That whole video was making a completely irrelevant point. They crashed small cars into large cars, and of course, the large cars caused more damage to the small cars, and the small cars caused less...
Only the best for the Porsche...I'm getting Chuck Norris tires.
Pretty simple really, Tax gasoline over here as heavily as it is in Europe, and you will see Americans flock to diesel.[/QUOTE]Are you suggesting this as a good idea?
I have read many "experts" with no qualifications insist that you need to buy a vehicle with a high curb weight to be "safe". I absolutely cannot figure out how they come to that conclusion, unless...
Have you ever been thinking something over and over again, then you open up a magazine or newspaper and discover that some writer has been thinking the same thing, word for word? :lol:
Oh and us auto techs hate hybrids even more...you know those 500+ volt electrical systems they use in the drivetrain? Now imagine you have to take them apart and stick metal tools into them.

Not gonna happen.
If they want to save the world, this is the kind of thing they should be building:

What size tires do you run?
Ask the Monkey Man about that theory! :lol:[/QUOTE]The Monkey Man of Delhi?
Probably don't make press releases about them either, if they'd worn masks they never would have been caught and the police never would have admitted that they'd been beaten! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I wasn't thinking of using constant-on LEDs to increase the background noise...but otherwise, yes that's exactly what I was talking about.
This would be entirely a home-made, one-off,...

I remember reading an article in Excellence [I think] about the "King of the Hill" Porsche 911 that completely dominated the illegal Mulholland street racing in the 1970s.
I think this has some...
Would have been an excellent act of civil disobedience if only these retards had thought to wear simple masks (or, you know, the HELMETS everybody on a bike should be wearing).
I'm mostly just relentlessly rude to all of my friends, so this is my way of offering a friendly hello on the internet...but I also have no sympathy for people who whine about manual transmissions in...
If that didn't work, I'd head for the nearest car wash. :D[/QUOTE]:lol: :lol: :lol:
Can you imagine the floor of the car wash after it was all over?
Yeah. Um. Unless I'm missing something, this seems pretty retarded. You're telling me that if he got onto the highway, the bees would be there after a few minutes at 80 mph?
Clearly, he thought his speed was his countermeasure. Pwnt![/QUOTE]From the sound of it, up until very recently, it WAS a countermeasure! 125 mph and you're invisible to the speed cameras? Sounds...
In that case...

All I know about the Z06 is that I've run with them on the track and they're very fast, but everybody who drives them says that they don't drive well at speed, they're squirrelly and unstable. That...
I agree, it's got beautiful, flowing lines...but it would still be better with a roof. I'm really a stickler for a car having a roof... :lol:
Well that's another dimension to this. Porsche isn't...
Didn't you get banned a few hours ago?
