@literally_whu @AaronAmarok You are always in the gear in which you would like to be. They are more fun to drive. They are rewarding. Perfectly rev-matching that 3-2 shift is a rush. All cars should be manual.

I always found it so funny how more and more people think manuals are this unforgiving task that suits only the strongest most talented drivers when in reality its the easiest thing ever

@WallStreetApes Did she major in stupidity? Pay the principal in addition to the interest.

American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments - She took out a $49,548.74 loan - She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36 - Her current balance is $50,121.33 So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out “It's all such a scam”

@lippyent Such a terrible movie.

Released 44 years ago today! Can you name this Movie 🎬 from just this shot? Hmm 🤔 ?¿

@native_ace @Eman7Nick You can't even spell Wednesday, genius.

@Eman7Nick Not impressed and neither was the nfl … it’s a reason you bums the first to win a Super Bowl and forced to play on a wenesday while both your rivals open the season 😭😭😭😭😭

Cause they don't know nun they jus be chatting

@lucyshow11 Beth.

What song do you think was playing in the background? 🎶

@LloydLegalist I currently have at least four cars with that button,

If you identified this AND used it to make the road a bit brighter back in the day then congratulations, you're old.

@klast00 Sheena Easton!

I'm watching For Your Eyes Only on the big screen to tonight. Roger Moore's 5th James Bond film.

@itsqail I have a Tesla, BMW (1975 2002) a couple of F150s, an F250 and an F350. Have to have trucks for towing race and horse trailers.

Worst drivers u can encounter on the road: 1. Teslas (all clueless) 2. Beat up Honda Civic/accord (suicidal drivers) 3. Any BMW (a different kind of douchebag/entitled) 4. Angry F-150 guys (no explanation necessary/they need therapy)

@DavidMoss I don't think of 21,000 people as a very small town.

Wow 3 chargers now for this very small town off I-90 in rural WA state

@NumbarZero @FrankBr05713205 I do understand how electric power steering works. Check out this article and you’ll get a better understanding. roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a3…

@BobbyRead @FrankBr05713205 you dont understand. the "electric" power steering has the exact same gears and mechanism inside of the rack. it is the exact same rack and pignon gear system.

For years cars have used hydraulic steering racks that used power steering fluid. Todays cars use electric steering racks which use no power steering fluid. Biggest difference to car owners is replacement cost. The hydraulic rack can be had for approx. $200 to $300 on most cars (plus labor). The electric rack will set you back $ 1,800 (part only) and much more depending on vehicle and they have to be programmed after installation. Technology comes at a cost many times. I will stick to keeping a 3 dollar bottle of power steering fluid on hand for my older car.

@coflayed @FrankBr05713205 Power steering only on the Celica. We have some aftermarket front control arms on it that allow us some great camber and caster. I’ve heard good things about the manual rack on the 944, though mine still has the factory power assisted unit.

@BobbyRead @FrankBr05713205 Just saw your Celica, nice. I don’t think they came with manual steering though, did they? I had a shortened ratio, manual rack on my old 944 and that was the best feeling steering in any car I’ve ever driven. I miss that.

@TigersJUK Nobody wants to play in it. They need to focus on getting ready for the season, not playing in some meaningless preseason tournament.

I wish American fans cared about the WBC more. The kid who was on magazine covers at 15 just essentially tied the World Cup final. If Wayne Rooney ever did that for England there would have been riots for a week!

@coflayed @FrankBr05713205 Yes. As do F1, NASCAR and LeMans prototype cars.

@BobbyRead @FrankBr05713205 You have power steering on a race car?!?

@JeffPassan The USA should send college players to this funny little tournament and let the MLB guys get ready for the real season.

And Venezuela takes the lead right back. A leadoff walk from Garrett Whitlock, a Javier Sanoja stolen base and an Eugenio Suárez double into the left-center gap puts Venezuela ahead, 3-2, in the top of the ninth. No outs, either, so Venezuela can tack on more.

@NumbarZero @FrankBr05713205 Hydraulic fluid has low inertia. Road textures, grip changes & vibrations hit your hands directly. Feels alive, connected, natural. McLaren sticks with it because electric motors add mass/inertia that damps high-frequency feedback, like a filter.

@BobbyRead @FrankBr05713205 lol. the steering is still mechanically connected to the wheels. the electric motor is just helping. its all in your head.

@NumbarZero @FrankBr05713205 Electric feels numb, isolated, over-damped or "dead" on-center/mid-corner. Early ones were worst; modern ones improved but physics still limits raw road talk compared to hydraulic.

@NumbarZero @FrankBr05713205 Blind test an older Porsche/Boxster (hydraulic) vs newer one (electric) or BMW generations. Most notice immediately. EPS great for efficiency & aids, but claiming "no difference" ignores decades of reviews (Road & Track, C&D) & enthusiast consensus. Hydraulic communicates better.

@jcigroc I’m more of a northern California fan.

The only people who complain about living in Southern California are people who don't live in Southern California lmaooo

@NadaAJones You aren’t a musician. You have no idea how innovative they were.

I’m sorry but the only reason Beatles were popular was because of there history. Seriously, they are so basic.
