That guy was wrong. The Hummer H1 Alpha was $115k+, and there is no way that GM will price it that high. If they were smart, it would be hi $90k range, but since they're GM, it will probably be $103-107k or so.
Psssst, there were NO ZR1s sold in 1986.
The ZR1 was a 1990-1995 model car.
The 2001-2004 Z06 had titanium exhaust systems. They weighed 18lbs less than the stock stainless steel systems (26lbs vs 44lbs). I do not know if the 2001 Z06 had a heavier exhaust system, as they had an extra pair...
Your car won't necessarily knock or ping on lower octane. Most newer cars will run perfectly fine on lower octane rated gas, since your engine management can compensate for the lower quality of the fuel. If you drive it hard, where you will actually be needing the higher octane, that is when you...
I also forgot that the handbrake, even though it uses the rear brakes, [obviously] does have a seperate cable to set it. Lack of use could cause the cable to "freeze" where it does not want to move and forcing it can break something. Also, the cable does need to be checked/adjusted every once...
On cars with rear drum brakes, they are self-adjusting. Each time you use the brake, it adjusts. It's everytime you brake though, not just use the parking brake.
If a car has a hand-operated parking brake, it is pretty much always on after I drive it, even if it's an automatic. Some cars are difficult to get out of park if there is even a slight slope.

I don't taste anything. I actually live in Greenlawn, a different water district, but most people don't know where Greenlawn is. Our water is still clean and crisp. I hate going elsewhere because we're so spoiled on LI and everyone else's water sucks.
I'm not worried about the price of gas. I'm actually about to put a supercharger on my car, forcing me to move from 87 to 91 :D
Well, 93, since 91 isn't widely available around here.
I recently gave one of our female customers who bought a 911 a quick tutorial on driving a stick, since she hadn't driven manual in 10 years.
She was quite attractive too :thumbsup:
They didn't make nearly as much on the Carrera GT as you think. In the late 90's, they orignally planned it as a race car and put in a LOT of R&D. Then they got a new president/chairman/whatever and were told to cancel the race car to work on the off-road car (Cayenne), since they could make...
At least we're being fairly civil about it right now.
Can we just agree to disagree? It's obvious neither of us are going to give up our position on this.
Say it takes 50,000lbs of thrust to get a plane to go 300mph in the air.
The plane is sitting on a treadmill.
You're basically telling me it would take 50,000lbs of thrust to keep that plane from moving (0mph airspeed or groundspeed) on the treadmill.
The question states that an airplane is moving at a specific speed. Being that it is a plane, it would be airspeed, not speed related to the treadmill.
No, you are changing the question. The plane is not moving 300mph relative to the treadmill. The plane is moving 300mph airspeed, relative to the air. The air is not moving, therefore the plaing is moving 300mph in a forward direction. It's true speed relative to the [300mph reverse running]...
According to the question, the treadmill does NOT have infinite acceleration. It moves backwards only as fast as the plane is moving forwards. The acceleration of the treadmill is limited by the acceleration of the plane.
If the plane is going 300mph forward, the treadmill can only go 300mph...
It's perfect that you brought this up.
Imagine that your treadmill is moving at 5mph with you on the skateboard on it.
Your friend is holding you in place. The skateboard wheels are moving at 5mph.
Your friend pushes you forward at 5mph.
You are moving forward 5mph, but the skateboard wheels...
How about this one. Retract the wheels and throw a Buick chained to the plane onto the treadmill. The Buick, of course, will be in neutral. This is because the wheels on the plane are free-moving, the wheels on the Buick also must be free moving.
Now, does the plane still move forward, or...
I understand acceleration perfectly fine. The fact of the matter is, the plane is accelerating through the AIR. The free-moving wheels touching the ground make an absolute minimal difference on the speed of the plane.
