You two are arguing different points. You're correct that modern cars are designed with S/S in mind, and thus can handle it GTB is correct that it is still better to avoid using it, as it is less wear and tear. Now kiss and make up

no

my balls

Hahah, its been a rough few months

I guess not? I dunno. I know next to nothing about modern hybrid systems. I cut my teeth on SAAB's and followed that shortly with old British and American cars. I attended a few seminars on modern diagnostics, attended a few courses, but I never really had to use them since my work was rarely...

For what its worth, bearing wear/bad bearings are hardly what kills most engines nowadays. Its usually excessive cylinder bore wear, oil consumption, etc. If your bearings are going, on most engines its due to an oiling issue, or driver error with over-revving when cold, etc.

So I see dodge doesn't account for the driver comfort. Atleast they really mean it when they say its to meet EPA standards, hahah

Yeah. I try not to mogg on something just for the sake of mogging it, but I have opinions that I carry. I'd like to think they are, at the very least, somewhat reasonable. I will say though, being told that its an EPA emissions thing, then sitting through a lecture being told that on BMW's the...

I'm quoting off of personal experience. Seen enough chain driven cars come in with timing issues for this exact reason. The longer the chain, the more of a problem this will be. You don't see it in Toyota's since their chains are not typically a snake like that of the 4.2 found in Audi's. If...

Not indy500's

I'd wager to bet that it doesn't discharge the battery nearly as much as you'd think.

The biggest downside to stop/start is premature wear to the timing chain. Timing chains rely on oil to keep all the links lubricated and from having the pins grind up against the links. Every time you stop the car, the links lose some of that oil and you get an absolutely microscopic and...

I feel like its also worth noting that Torsens and clutch type diffs hook up differently. Its far more noticeable in the wet

No way, snow is some of the most fun you can have. RWD in a blizzard is never a boring time.

Don't worry, the engineers are hard at work figuring out a way to take the wheel away without the public rejecting the idea.

It certainly is that black and white when driving a rwd car in the snow, lol. Telling people they “dont need winter tires” is the sort of advice I often hear from people who have multiple cars, or do not live in a cold climate. On the east coast, the same people that say this are often the...

Hills or not, if you drive in the snow you dont want all seasons. X-ice are very good.

Fuzzy dice

I imagine theres a decent amount of upkeep on this, right? Is there some sort of product you have to apply to keep that topcoat from yellowing/oxidizing in the light?

While an argument can be made for whether the characteristics added via a strut brace are advantageous or not, they absolutely do work, lmao. Throw a strut brace on most cars where careful consideration had not been made for the front/rear stiffness ratio, and you will absolutely feel the...
