Would it be bad if I was? grin



Coincidence or correlation is not the same as causation. In philosophy, muddling the two results in a logical fallacy called Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc.

There are also many manual drivers that are awful lovers, so your contention is defeated in that respect.

Women find manual drivers attractive not because they make terrific lovers, but because unlike automatic drivers, they are in full control of the vehicle, and as we know, [b]women get pûssy queefs just by being around men who show great control


Many Danfo buses are in manual form. If I may ask, are you also attracted to Danfo Drivers? cheesy
I'll be damned.
_pussy queefs...seriously?

What does it do?
Why do you love it?
The turbocharger is basically an air pump. It supplies more air to the engine's intake. This air is needed for the combustion process in the engine. It gives the engine more power and greater fuel efficiency.

let me start by saying I love manual cars.
Reason I love em?
1. the feel of changing gear by clutching down
2. the control of totling while releasing your leg from the clutch
3. the feel of steering and maintaining a lane
4. the care you give when checking the side mirrors and back mirror to know if a car is coming behind you.
I could go on and on but will stop here.

1. I love that feel when I just had new tires and shocks on, there's this feel and sound it makes when flying over those potholes, like... "gbrim" cheesy

2. The feel and sounds when flying over those expansion joint on 3rd mainland bridge. I.e "pram-pram" grin

3. So...since I changed from a V8 8plugs to a V8 16plugs, things have been really different for me. The g-force got my body feeling like entering the sit. shocked grin

4. I bully drivers on the freeway/interstate, once you do strong head when I try to overtake, I'll just pass you and give you the hazard light, if you take the bait. I'll string you along till we get to a corner and I'll show you why Benz has a K-leg back hassle. angry grin

You guys really need to expand your horizon. The smartphones in your hand is not limited to Nairaland only.

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/manual-transmissions-faster-than-automatics.gym

https://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/five-myths-about-stick-shifts.html

"It's no loss, says Ken Hill, a professional racer, driving educator and vice president of operations for Automotive Adventures in Bellevue, Washington. "Some people are stuck on the mindset that a driver is faster with a manual box," Hill says. But there's a reason why some major performance-car manufacturers, including Ferrari and Jaguar, no longer offer traditional manual transmissions, he says. "They just aren't as good." "

Most modern automatics are faster than manuals. Same car, same engine.

Hence the tiptronic and paddle shifter... Some people just don't keep up angry, you just have to spoon feed and school some people undecided

And when I even try to spoon feed them, against my better judgement, they take the spoon and throw it away.

Its not their fault mostly because all they are used to driving are reject rides from overseas.

And a bunch of other stuff too.

I haven't dynoed it and won't until I change to a bigger turbo and intercoler and go for a custom tune. Power is nothing without control.

Right now I'm working on the suspension. High performance sway bars, adjustable camber arms and coilovers.

I get my kicks from handling mostly and not just on raw power.

I have my bike for power when no prisoners needs to be taken grin

there's this confidence and safety vibe you get when you're driving a Benz, but you won't understand until you take one of this Beast for a spin. at that speed, it was still taunting me with..."is that all you got?"

If true at all, 16 plugs is not a performance enhancement but a manufacturers ploy to get a cleaner burn for emissions purposes.

Anyways, I like how you aired out your crankcase grin

true with the Emboldened, i was curious when i knew about the 16 plugs and looked it up.

you spot that hole on the side lol... that engine drove in Emergency from Shagamu to Isele Asagba by the steal factory doing 120-130km/h, engine gave way when trying to push it harder cos it was getting real dark so to avoid those road criminals.

after installing the new Engine, we couldn't get a Car-electrician to rewire the new ECU and engine to start, so we used the Old ECU, Sensor, Coil wires were connected to the old coils and plugged to the spark plugs while leaving the new coil to fill the vacuum for the remaining one... in the real sense we used 8 plugs on 16 plug engine from Asaba back to Lagos.

The engine burn freakingly rich, spent 17k on fuelling. the catalyst glow red the whole journey.

took it to Ladipo and beastie got a make over cheesy grin

Okay. So she gave her life to protect you. That's an European car for you and why I love them.

Disclaimer, I have been toying with cars and bikes since the early 80's in Ibadan before I left for the US. If it runs on 4 wheels and has a combustion engine then I love it.
