Retapping or sleeving it wasn't an option? Just curious. Props to the guy for actually driving it. Any other issues in 42k miles besides the drain plug? Just curious if supercars are as fragile and maintenance nightmares like they're made out to be.

So was this a warranty repair, did the old oil pump just take a shit?

Yikes! How many thousands of US currencies does a job like that cost?

I think you can take any powerful rear-wheel drive car out on a track and drift this shit out of it though, its not really a measure of how well it performs. My buddy and I drove his Tesla to VT last summer, a 330 mile trip, and it gave me a really good idea of how an electric car would fair...

I have a feeling he didn't mention the active sound and simulated shifts because they're just too stupid to even discuss. A lot of his other points were good, however I would still take something like an RS6 over this simply because I can take it on a 400 mile road trip and have zero range...

That's why these this is all bullshit. If I'm not going to actually do the driving, then I want the option to eat, have a Manhattan, and take a nap. Otherwise I'm baby sitting whoever/whatever is actually driving. I'm more of a Chris Harris man. My opinions on e-cars comes more from my...

I don't see why they don't just make it sound like that crazy RC car you had as a kid, or e-dirtbikes like the Stark. Its like eating bacon flavored soy chips. But the paddle shifters make you drive like Lewis Hamilton, don't they?

I don't understand why they put ICE sounds in an electric car, its pretty lame IMO. In an ICE performance car, the sound of the motor matches what you feel through the wheel and the seat. If you're going to make an e-performance car, own that shit. Make it all motor and drive-train whine like...

Yea, but the idea is to have the tech trickle down to street bikes. For example, the twin spar frame and steering geometry from the RGV500 made it into the SRAD, which was a game changing bike in 96.

The people who buy these, you're giving them exactly what they want by taking pictures, etc. They're "look at me" attention whores that can't afford a Lava Orange Aventador.

Actually, it can kill you. My buddy from college liked to eat. Always ate out, at the wrong times (late), and was a big dessert man. No meal was complete without dessert. He was also a 2 pints of ice cream per day man, in between everything else. He justified all of this because he was fat...

You're going to have a hard time hitting your objective with just 2 days of running. Running a fast mile is more of a strength than stamina thing, and you're using different muscles between running and biking. You really need to strengthen your core and hamstrings. You also need to hit the...

If you drink cabbage soup the only thing you’ll be breaking is wind and earning a night on the couch so you don’t Dutch Oven your better half to death. You’re a brave man if you pour that DIPA on your ice cream, but be a pioneer, plant the flag.

A fast mile these days is almost a sprint. To run some of the times the fastest HS kids are running you need to be hitting 62 second 400's. Its as much of a strength thing as an endurance thing. Last week after a day of skiing waist-deep powder up in VT, I poured Guinness over a bowl of...

Commitment is the key here, I think his goal is totally doable by the end of the year, but will be work. Willing to bet his biggest obstacle is leg strength and not cardio. Building up slowly is key, stay away from early speed. Blow out a hamstring and its game over. Form is also important to...
