quote:A trough of low pressure will trigger widespread thunderstorms as it moves through Central Alberta on Thursday. Thunderstorms are expected to develop along the foothills in the early afternoon and move east, lasting late into the evening. There is still uncertainty with regard to the exact location of the most severe storms. Strong winds over 90 kilometres per hour and hail larger than loonies will be the main threats with these storms. Well, gently caress.

My rego just jumped $40 this quarter, bringing it to $232. This is with a 3 litre straight 6. In alberta, it's $84 a year. no government inspection, no emissions, no displacement bullshit. A prius is $84, my 7.5 liter smog barge is $84.

CommieGIR posted:That is a really lovely article, even though I love the old Nissans... That sounds far more complicated than just sending the power to the front wheels, or the rear wheels. I mean, if you're going to go through all the trouble of sending it to both right wheels, why not just send some to the left too and make it awd.

80% of the cars in the forza 5 packs were pulled strait from forza 4, often pulled from forza 4 DLC. so if you bought forza 4 + DLC, and forza horizon + DLC, you've already paid for most of the cars twice already. It's a complete wank. I'd bet money forza horizon 2 DLC cars are going to be mainly the same cars, too.

It's like if you bought a set of tires from a tire shop, and every time you took the car back in for a tire rotation, they pulled the tires off and then tried to sell them back to you. Except with forza 5, they're also trying to sell you your wheels back as well. Powershift fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Jul 4, 2014 |

I was researching a thing, and i found this image from the US federal vehicle size regulations. I don't know what the gently caress. This is legal as long as the over all length is MORE than 75 feet long. It's pretty normal for this to be used for new truck deliveries and such, but their example has the vehicle at the end of the train hauling a load.

I'd rather drink a bottle of snap-on water. It may be $8 for a bottle that size, but ask any professional, they wouldn't trust anything less for their hydration.

But the quality of the snap on water is only part of it, the support behind it is worth the added cost. edit: i got some about 1 square foot flat icepacks with some medication that was shipped to me. I keep them in the fridge, and before i got to bed throw one inside the pillowcase of one of my pillows. Keeps the pillow cool for a good hour. I might actually survive the summer. I also keep some in the freezer, and lay it in my chest or lay on it after i'm out doin hot stuff. Best thing ever. Looking it up, a case of 12 is only $16, seems like it would be a good investment in that heat. https://us.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=4597650 Powershift fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Jul 24, 2014 |

bandman posted:So the Miata was 0.1s faster in the quarter and to 60, but the BRZ stomped it by nearly 11 seconds on a road course. That 0.1 second difference is well within the margin of error for those kind of measurements and essentially meaningless. Two identical cars could run times 0.1 seconds apart just because of variations in manufacturing or tires. I suppose he was *technically* correct, but you can't explain away those lap times. You could really just jump in there with "V6 mustang" and make both sides lose their loving minds.

My wife has a little bit of automotive ADD and keeps looking at different vehicles; I'd like to give her a number for "The car will be worth this much after X miles or Y years". You can KBB etc for mileage but not for age, and it's still just KBB. http://www.intellichoice.com/10-1/new-cars.html This takes into account the differing costs of maintenance, insurance, and depreciation and such, and breaks it all down for you. e: it doesn't bring up cost of ownership for 2015s yet. pick a 2014 and you get fancy charts and junk.

Not exactly surprising, but with the new "season" of drive, the videos are going to be locked behind a paywall. You get a 3 minute preview, and the actual thing is behind a $3.99 subscription. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h33H91Ipyy4 Naturally, the comments section has poo poo itself over this development, but really, they can get hosed if they think 2 or 3 hours of car reviews are worth half of what netflix charges. I would pay for motortrend's stuff like hot rod garage, roadkill and dirt everyday if it came to that because they actually produce something, but i'm not paying so these dickbags can fly around the world driving expensive cars.
