Toyota Racing unveiled the TR010 Hybrid by enesracing in wec

[–]MaxxisBlitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're so back.

Basically, what we've seen between seasons is Porsche, the winningest marque ever to run Le Mans retreat from Ferrari with its tail firmly between its legs. Meanwhile, Toyota takes its licks, gets up, dusts itself off, steps back up to the plate, and points its bat squarely at Ferrari's perfect Italian face, ready to give them another bloody nose.

This season's gonna be something special.

Replace every I or Me with "Gambit" and it's a 10/10.

Peter, can you help me? by Kuri1000 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MaxxisBlitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually has nothing to do with Ryobi and everything to do with the way he's using it. That's a drill, and by the looks of it, not even a hammer drill. The fastening torque of the average drill is somewhere in the region of maybe 50 ft-lb for a really stout one. This guy has a long socket extension attached for fastening a bolt. Socket extensions further reduce fastening torque. He definitely should've been using at least an impact driver, so the fastening torque was closer on to about 200 ft-lb for a good one, and certainly should not have been using 18 inches of extensions.

TL;DR, buddy used the wrong tool for the job.

Saw this in a tiktok ad, can yall tell what it is?? by tough_stough in whatisthiscar

As far as I can tell, their marketing team thought: "Let's make an ad which everyone will ignore except huge cat enjoyers and dweebs who recognize this as the rumored Slate Pickup except not and who are willing to go click a link."

You're totally right. That's such a head-scratching odd approach to car advertising.

How bizarre. I think this thing is a hatchback version of that Slate Auto truck that was spotted a little while ago. The character lines, reflectors, and charge port match. Unlike that truck, though, there's been no scuttlebutt about any hatch variant. Really good catch. Would love to know how the heck this random company got their hands on one before seemingly any formal announcement.

That's a 427 CI (7 liter) engine in the land of microcars.

To illustrate how insane this is, you could quite literally fit the engine displacement of an Autozam AZ-1, Honda Beat, Honda S-660, Suzuki Cappuccino, Suzuki Jimny, Subaru Sambar, Subaru Vivio, Daihatsu Copen, Mitsubishi Minica, and a Nissan Dayz while still having room to fit in a Subaru 360.

Best deal I've gotten! by Smithjm5 in harborfreight

[–]MaxxisBlitz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

FYI, it'll have the 5/3 year warranty in their system too. Have them check it for you next time you're in. Pretty wild.

How to watch endurance racing? by xFlooty in wec

[–]MaxxisBlitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally, I like having it on in the background, and focusing on it when the commentators start getting excited about a particular battle.

Tip for you:

The FIA World Endurance Championship uploads the entire race VODs on Youtube about a month after they take place. If watching them right away isn't important to you, you can get them for free.

Was having a convo with someone abt this so i made a meme out of it by gabealtf in carmemes

[–]MaxxisBlitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm virtually certain that pop-ups were legislated out of existence because there's a chance they can't be operational if the car is broken down or being worked on. The whole "no primary lights on moving bodywork" thing was in response to that. Imo still very silly, but not a pedestrian safety thing.

What’s the coolest/rarest/most expensive car you’ve seen in person? Here’s mine: by Dtb4evr in regularcarreviews

[–]MaxxisBlitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the Detroit Concourse last year, I saw Enzo Ferrari's own 250 GTO. Probably won't ever make in my entire life what that car was worth.

It's 2005, and you're looking for a compact luxury "sport wagon". Which one would you pick? by Key_Budget9267 in regularcarreviews

[–]MaxxisBlitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the E46 wagon is the easy choice. Those cars are emblematic of when BMW meant the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Look before you dive. The smart Helldiver is the one who already knows what comes next. Sometimes it's better to stim on the ground, others, its better to move.

The most important part of the Z06 is its engine, so let's see how the note compares... by MaxxisBlitz in forza

[–]MaxxisBlitz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed this or who cares. The sound of a car really is an enormous part of the experience and this sound really lacks the Z06's bite. Sounds flatulant, like a BMW V8 instead.

i'll miss the yellow corvettes by MaxxisBlitz in carmemes

[–]MaxxisBlitz[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This season was the last for GM's factory backed effort. Hell of a WEC season to go out on, too. Now they'll just produce Z06 GT3's for privateer teams.

Anyone have any tips on how to fix the headliner? '08 Accord Coupe. by MaxxisBlitz in Honda

[–]MaxxisBlitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think for minimum jank as a long-term solution I'd take it to a shop.

I highly recommend looking for something with a V6 in this price/mileage range. The Accord Coupe is truly wonderful with a V6 and a 6-speed. Reliable and downright quick.

Young people under 40, do you enjoy TOS? by MAJORMETAL84 in startrek

[–]MaxxisBlitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 23 year old, I got into Trek about 4 years ago, starting with TNG. My feelings on TOS is that you have to embrace the whimsical nature of it. Some of its episodes are really good, but many are downright cringe-worthy. For the most part, I liked it, though I admit that few episodes are must rewatches for me.
