S= # of stickers you have.

Therefore the number of stickers is directly proportional to your power output.

The campus police here at OSU have a charger they drive around. Though it would kind of suck for everyone to switch to a new car. Most of us have grown up being able to recognize a crown vic in the rear view mirrors a mile away, trying to memorize the lines of a new car would be tough. Would you ra...

Just remember this: You're driving a vehicle, it's not a PHYSICAL activity, where if you can't do it, you can't do it. O rly? Racing cars is not like playing warcraft III, where its all mental skill. Although mental skill is a big component. I don't know what the hell kind of Techniques your talkin...

ok back on my soapbox. After World War II, the Unites States felt really bad for microwaving Japan. So what did they do? They funded the hell out of new Japanese business as a sort of a "sorry for the radiation" gesture. As a result Japan capitalized on this economic restructuring and star...

Mid engine cra shave the engine in front of the rear axle, but behind the driver. Rear engine cars have th engine on top of the rear axle. Not too much of a difference, but I guess it's enough for car snobs to argue over. Next time you go shopping for milk or whatever, Put all your groceries in the...

Mid engine and rear engine are one and the same AFAIK. Hence why the four cylinder Fiero's are called "2M4" 2 seater, mid-engine, 4 cylinder. Ummm no. The Fiero is called a mid-engine car, because it IS a mid engine car. Rear-engine cars have totally different driving dymanics because of ...

Those magazines follow a very specific formula. They don't care about which cars offer better performance vs. ...
