EPA tractors are normally cars for underaged people with the barest minimum of modifications to make them 'tractors'. Nice to see someone approaching from the other side.

I priced up a Kawasaki Mule for my farm and wound up importing a 4wd Kei truck for less money. e: all SxS units are absurdly overpriced in Au because they're fitted with ROPS. Fitting ROPS to your quad would, according to the manufacturer, result in your getting a terminal illness. IPCRESS fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Sep 5, 2017 |

What a brilliant design feature that totally won't drive people mad when the person in front of them plays the 'stop, scooch up, stop, and scooch up again' game.

Burning a car you bought to make a point is weird and maybe useles and obsessive in a slightly disturbing way, but killing a dog to make a point is psychopathic. I'm a little worried that you would draw that parallel. Any dismembered animals in shallow graves in your parents' garden the police should know about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHRDh0TdTkE Personally, I think it must suck to be the salesman that let him take it for a test drive.

Until you de-prime the oil pump then make all the expensive noises almost immediately after start up. Some cam chain tensioner designs allow the plunger to fall out when the cam chain runs the wrong way, which will almost certainly see you jump timing and save you from bottom end expensive noises; interference motors will give you a consolation prize with some top end expensive noises. As a rule of thumb: Don't spin modern 4 strokes the wrong way*. *: Please someone find a Maserati that spins the engine the wrong way instead of having reverse gear.

I'd have gone 1980s camaro, and put there so the owner could work on it in the rain. Mazda BT-50s are also in the recall and I look forward to other manufacturers coming forward with similar recalls over time; I don't imagine "grass gets stuck on bits of exhaust that didn't used to get you're-joking-degrees hot but now do" is a single-designer issue. e: I like commas, a bit too much, and use them far too frequently, but don't worry, I normally catch them, in edit,,,. , IPCRESS fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Dec 21, 2017 |

Don't most alloy wheels use differential cooling and internal stress to help strengthen the wheel? Because I'm looking at a whole lot of annealing going on there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7cFMlLDE4A Here, have a frost heave where someone's built a road over a swamp (I guess).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl8mQhxhE_Q But seriously, are people saying that Ford (or any other company) should continue to produce a low-margin product that isn't selling instead of focusing on the product the market wants? As others have noted, Ford continues to produce cars elsewhere in the world. If there's another oil shock they're able to bring in smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles as and when the market for such a vehicle justifies the expense. Personally, I can't wait for people to work out that the SUV is the new minivan. vvv: We are making GBS threads in the nest at a truly impressive pace.

Had the lion logo. 05 Marlboro motors or something?" But I'd guess we'll wind up with a bunch of half-assed RHD conversions of US rental piles, since they I don't think they have anything from Europe to give us. Maybe they'll sell the Holden marque to PSA?

If we're doing "post your favourite flat- n cylinder engine" derail, I humbly submit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkP5Svl16Qg Also, Mazda should put the 26B in mass production and make it an option in the MX5.

Is the battery pack installed at that stage of production? I vaguely recall that it runs under the floor pan. Because we all know, deep down, what the probabilities are that the cars are specifically engineered to be moved around the factory on a forklift.

It looks like something that's not the new supra being painted up to look very, very, very unlike a new Supra. Whatever it is, it's hideous. vvv: Unless the dazzle cam on the ones I've seen has been much better than I give them credit for, the new supra doesn't have a trunk lid you could land a helicopter on.
