The Boston Public Library put an enormous collection of documentary photos of wrecked cars from the early 20th century online here. It's impressive how horribly mangled cars could get at the low speeds back then when they weren't designed with safety in mind.

It was nice of this truck to lay over and expose it's underbelly so we can all stare at the chain drive rearend.

I haven't heard anything awful about those yet and it allows for some incredible packaging and turbo performance.

Given how flat they are I'm betting those are just hubcaps hiding the steelies (like the appearance package Interceptors).

E: Also most of the police Chargers I've seen have alloys so I'm not sure where you got that info

Just add a "v" to the url so it's a .gifv, right click, go to Play Speed, and hit slow motion. It gives you half speed which is a little better.

Rent4Ring has a very good optional insurance package that limits your max liability to 2500 euros if you pick the Suzuki Swift. Considering you can rack up six figures in damages and track closure/cleanup fees the insurance is worth it.

I was comfortable going about 6/10ths in the rain and had a blast last year

Were you guys crewing or just hanging out?
Crewing for my friend's Audi Coupe Quattro. Ended our day a little early after running really strong. Zero compression on cylinders 1-2, likely the headgasket split between cylinders since there's no water in the oil.

Might be there next year as a driver :dance:

A mechanical/imperial horsepower is 745.7 watts, a metric/ PS horsepower is 98.63% as much at 735.5 watts.

350 HP x 98.63% = ~345 PS

Er... if the PS represents a smaller amount of power per unit, shouldn’t you get more PS? I think that should be 355 PS.
Well poo poo, that's embarrassing. I remembered the conversions to watts off the top of my head but used them backwards.

Other useless things that have stuck with me include slinches because the conversion to pounds-mass was easier to remember than slugs.
