A small displacement does not always mean small size. Size difference is noticed between an inline 4 VS a V6. But if talking just 4-bangers - A 1.3T may be same physical size as a 2.0/2.5L N/A. And may be harder to DIY since it has more components to deal with, such as everything related to...

WOW. Before seeing the pics I expected the opposite honestly. Impressive, very impressive. Both drivers definitely felt the impact, absorbed or not. Chrysler driver likely gonna need a neck brace for a few months though...

"Honorable" mentions 😉 That time when Tesla was proud of the Cybertruck towing a Jet engine, somehow without breaking off the tow hitch off the frame. And that time when a HERO Nissan Frontier saved an aircraft (in an alternate universe lol).

A small tribute to the times when car manufacturers used aircrafts to promote their vehicles. Are there more of these? 2012 Toyota Tundra pulling a 292,000 lbs shuttle. Nissan (Y62) Patrol, aka Armada, pulling an Ilyushin Il-76, ~376,000lbs. A 1972 Chevy pulling a Boeing 747-123...

@Snwwhtssei See below on why Porsche A40 is important enough spec that so many people brought it up already. An oil has to be REALLY stout to get that certification. Here is Porsche A40 testing procedure: This test will last 203 hours. The engine, and the oil, will go through: - 4 times the...

Run the tires and enjoy the car. If, however, the look is too disappointing for you, then jump on FB marketplace. This CTS has the 5x120 bolt pattern, correct? If so - you can find some really nice wheels from a newer Cadillac CT5 or any other, often with like-new tires. Great option for an...

He did actually. Swapped (I believe Scania) 1000hp engine into it, put a flatbed on the rear, and took it drifting. He uses it to take his non-roadlegal vehicles to car shows for sponsors.

That Russian YouTuber (AcademeG) made some crazy vehicles over the years. Here is just a couple more.

I'd love that! But opted for the AWD wagon version of it - 2008 Infiniti EX35. Unfortunately that one only came as an automatic. Still fun though, I enjoy it daily. 😎

The one that would come with a 6-speed manual.

An Avalon or a Maxima are drama-free options. Avalon even came as a Hybrid. Cadillacs are quite a bargain on used market, including some of their performance offerings. But are more quirky than Japanese competition. Infiniti is always a safe bet. M56/Q70/Q70L is calling your name with its 5.6L...

From my ever-changing list of daily drivers the top 5 in AC performance are: - 2000 Kia Sephia - 2008 Infiniti EX35 - 1995 Honda Odyssey - 2009 Honda Pilot - 2001 Lexus IS300 Worst 5: - 1993 Ford Ranger - 1990 GMC Sierra - 1978 Chevy Van - 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe - 2008 Pontiac Vibe

A Nissan Armada starts under $60k. This one is very well optioned at $75k, in my opinion beating the $115k Lexus it was compared to.

Things worth noting: My coworker has a late model GMC Sierra 5.3L. 125k miles, and he's on 2nd engine, thankfully under warranty. His wife has an even newer Suburban 5.3L. 35k miles, and already on 2nd engine and 2nd transmission. For their future vehicles they're considering only the 3.0L...

Let's be real here. For example: Mitsubishi is much smaller player than Nissan, yet they are still kicking and making at least enough profit to stay afloat. Nissan has a significantly larger market presence and sales volume in the US compared to Mitsubishi, so I personally don't see Nissan going...

The same exact roof basket made unbearable amount of whistling noise on a 2009 Honda Pilot, but makes only about 20-30% of that noise on a 2008 Infiniti EX35, and no whistling. So in my case the vehicle aerodynamics played a huge role.

That is a great option! Another small crossover option is 2011-2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, it was manual and FWD. Plenty of aesthetic and handling mods available. And a long the same lines here is a funner option. Definitely a love it or hate it when it comes to the looks, I happen to...

Napoleon rode a high horse, Jesus rode a donkey.

You're very good at pushing your views and beliefs down every opposing throat, while avoiding questions on topic. A politician by any chance?

You sure you're not referring to CVT in QX60? To the best of my knowledge both the 7AT and 6MT are known of reaching high miles. School me if I'm wrong, I'm always open to learning something new. But 7AT lives a long happy life with basic drain & fill. Obviously neglecting fluid changes will...
