Re: Let's talk about cars
When many cars cut out when stationary for a few seconds at traffic lights, and the oil used in many engines has been changed for a thinner lubricant (for example 10w30 changed to 10w20) to gain a fraction on the calculated "fleet economy" for the manufacturer, a gain of 7% is a pretty big deal!

My foot is a little heavy. The acceleration is addictive. I gave it some beans pulling onto the freeway this morning and I lost 5 miles off my range in .1 of a mile . I have to be careful though. I’m using it as a works vehicle. Won’t do to get pulled over for speeding whilst I have a National Highway Traffic SAFETY Administration ID on LOL.

So what you're saying is me getting a truck/SUV is inevitable then. I just hope that doesn't go for an automatic too!!!

Anyways, see your 5.0 and raise you a Shelby GT350.
Now to find a GT500, that must be neck breaking torque.
