And just to add, when the C8 vette mid-engine comes out, they have been wanting to do it for decades. And there are great prototypes.

  I see this driving around town all the time. Usually parked at a housing complex for seniors. Finally had a chance to get a picture. There is a Chevy Spark under there somewhere. The used to be MUCH worse. The entire car was completely covered in conspiracy theory crap. Most of that has been covered up with the red/white stripes. You can kinda still see it on the back of you zoom in. Im betting a lot of those sticky letters probably came from one of my company's stores.....

So this came through my work the other day.   looks like a f100 and a bronco2 grafted together in some kind of hosed up automotive experiment gone wrong, or right depending how you look at it.

A Focus RS and a Corvette both ride on PS4s but they’re actually very different PS4s in terms of compound and construction.

Sorry, you’re right. Cup 2s were optional, and it predates PS4s. Fact remains, either tire is bespoke to the Focus versus the tire of the same name you get on, say, a Mustang or Corvette. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/09/the-ford-focus-rs-the-blue-ovals-best-is-a-performance-car-for-the-people/

It was a wallpaper pattern from a hotel Louis Chevrolet stayed in once, or so I read long ago. edit: huh. Apparently not true, though it was "official: for quite some time: https://jalopnik.com/the-real-story-behind-chevrolets-bow-tie-5797651 and https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2011/Sep/0902_bowtie.html edit edit: also, it was William Durant who came up with the logo.

Completely different beast. Series 2 used the LED dash and touch-sensitive buttons, but the early Series 3 was the one with the CRT screens. VFDs came later on.

Just posting to say that winter tires in 70+ degrees are terrible car stuff. Mushy slippery bullshit that I can just feel wearing away by the mile. Seems we went from dead of winter to spring has sprung in like a week or two. Swapped over to my PS4s this evening and ohhhhhhhh fuckin yeah.

I just learned that GM uses two fuel pumps in its mid-size crossovers when you order AWD. The gas tank is a saddle shape. When the fuel level on the primary side drops below a certain threshold, the pump on the secondary side transfers fuel to the primary side.
