No.

Ehh, I don't like how some states treat theft recoveries classifying them as salvaged, it's misleading. They never bothered me, I'd personally jump on a great deal if a PPI checks out regardless of history. There could be just as equal chance of a non-stolen vehicle get damaged or neglected...

You folks are kidding right? That can't be possible for a hybrid with decent aerodynamics. My Viper gets 24mpg highway cruising at 75mph fairly easy. It's turbocharged though, so that probably increases pumping efficiency. Before that the best I had gotten was 22. There's only two tracking...

I had no qualms with the 8-track in my 1972 Lincoln Continental. You could instantly jump to any one of the songs without rewinding/fast forwarding! lol. In all reality, I barely listen to the radio in my sports cars, so that's not a factor. But in all seriousness, I don't mind...

It doesn't matter whether it's a slushbox, DCT, CVT, Egear, F1, PDK. If it doesn't have a 3rd pedal, to me it's an auto. I've tried them all and still have the opinion they're missing something while piloting through the twisties. I understand why it won't be offered, just sad about it. Unlike...

It has only one drawback, auto transmission. I'm one of the 5-20% minority that only drives sports cars with a manual. I've tried autos, regardless of how exotic, it just doesn't feel right; a daily is fine but, I need to feel more engaged on a twisty mountain road. I'd feel the same way if a...

Recheck the TPS. Make sure the values are within tolerance especially when the throttle is closed; but also check throughout the entire sweep, and there are no dead or spiky spots. If the "computer" thinks the throttle isn't fully closed, it will do weird things like and idle hang, hunting...

For those who don't have a stethoscope, a small diameter vacuum hose works great. Just jam one end in your ear, and snake the open end of the hose around. Just take caution when "listening" to vacuum leaks, so it doesn't suck the eardrum out of your skull. Smoke from incense works wonders in...

Are we allowed to guess conspiracy theories? Here's my take. Stickers with Calvin urinating on other brands was all the rage in the mid 90's. You can pick up one of these Ford logo'd metal stamps fairly easy. A disgruntled die hard Ford fanatic named Calvin working an oil change bay decided...

I don't have access to Facebook (didn't think people still used it). The technology is intriguing for sure. Personally I'm not sure the NSX is the right application, cool factor yes, but maybe not for practicality. 100 lbs for the battery pack, 180 lbs for the motors and controller...

50hp per wheel, not 100 (according to their video). $10k and it doesn't include batteries or tires. Batteries could double the cost. What if there's a flat? Seems to be a lot of exposed contact points which brings long-term durability in real world conditions (submerged under water/mud/dirt...

Thanks for the part numbers. I'll have to stock up on some so I can rebuild this unit and have it on standby. The USA is backwards when it comes to international shipping. Taxpayers subsidize e-packet deliveries from China to USA, and China to many other countries - but absolutely refuses to...

Is this in relation to the "Brake light recall for 2017 NSX"?? How does one eff up brake lights. Maybe they thought the instructions read "break light"?

At least they're still good until year 81,400.

Nobody simply forgets about that much cocaine. I'm going to guess heroin, and the prior owner did done died from an OD.
