That is approaching "just enough torque." Because there is never too much torque, only under-engineered components.

InitialDave posted:I'd like to think that it's because the restoration team are all a bunch of guys who look about 70+ and don't have time for people's poo poo. If they say they're restoring a Beetle, gently caress you, you're getting a Beetle. The monster energy one in the background is really loving with me because my brain keeps insisting it's a Kawasaki.

I uploaded some of my pictures from Toyota Megaweb / Museum here: http://imgur.com/a/QuUUS I went in August 2009. If I had known how interesting it would be I would have brought my regular camera but I figured, hey, it's just Toyota so I brought a point & shoot. Here are a few.      Bluebird (aka 510) TV commercial being projected.               I don't remember what film this was.       Hahaha

Vigo, pretty sure you got probated for completely missing the point that everyone was posting BMW M car instrument clusters (not fuel economy stats), and then you posted... un AI crap and got buttmad about being probated for it. And continued being buttmad about it to the point that it annoyed me into actually saying something here. Anyways... post your AIest smart cars (courtesy of NoiseComplaint on irc)     I had no idea those only had 3 lugs per wheel.

You know, I personally can't see myself driving a smart car, but I do like to think of it as our generation's VW Beetle. Only not quite as popular. But the idea of a Smart Car rally racer, now that that's AI as gently caress.

They have amazing shag carpeting and some sort of wonderful soft leather pads under the pedals. I want that interior so bad for one of my cars. Also yes, they are loving barges too.
