It's a Gallardo though. They kinda of... were plain.

vvv I've seen plenty of Black Gallardos. They're really boring. Theyre a bit better in bright green or yellow but eeeh. Still really conservative for lambo.

Well, in metallic blue. To be honest I've never seen a lambo that was in such a plain colour. Usually the paint job is as ostentatious as the car, like yellow, bright green or something. Hell even white would stand out against the norm for expensive cars and done the job.

Here you go. Jeep 3.3L I5 with a severe oil leak.


quote:

I decided to buy it, knowing it may have engine issues, but decided to see if there was damage to the rest of the running gear, so fired it up, knocking and all, and proceeded to drive it down the road about 45 miles an hour for about a mile, puking oil and smoke, knocking the whole time, then threw it on the trailer since it drove fine and brought it home. When I pulled the intake manifold off (because you couldn't see the problem tucked up in there, I found the top of #6 connecting rod sitting outside a hole in the block on the edge of the bellhousing!

I love the logjam that develops on the newer cars, every single one of them pissed at being stuck behind an older and slower car.

The vintage dudes are just chilling, having the time of their life (hoping the car doesn't roll and crush them like a grape).

This is a great gif.

So can anyone explain to me why you want to drift around corners in rally racing? If you're sliding at all in roadracing, it's almost always bad and will slow you down. Is there something about having less overall grip that makes it desirable to skid all over the place?

I'm not 100% on this but I imagine it has something to do with the difference between a relatively smooth surface that the tire can make good contact with, and the more fluid surface of dirt or gravel. On a smooth surface you get a very large advantage from static versus kinetic friction (not sliding versus sliding), you don't see that on a dirt or gravel surface. Instead you have a much more complex interaction where you gain traction though not just the material the tires are touching, but also the material beneath that. On loose surfaces you can sort of imagine the wheels behaving like a paddle boat.
