yea
But yeah, the problem that I had was that the system wouldnāt pressurize after filling up with gas. This prevented the car from idling until the tank slowly pressurized from just running.

The hybrid drive system in our new Honda City Hybrid, which we had exchanged with our old 2016 Honda City VX is not working -_-
Soā¦ the supercharger kit that Iām going to try to get for my car will put me at about 265bhp (100bhp increase). Thatās about the power of a new WRX, but because my car is actually a couple hundred pounds lighter, it would be faster. That would in theory give me a 0-60 of around 5.5sec (or about 3sec quicker than my car can do now). Top speed would stay the same (130mph) but thatās because thatās what itās geared for (thereās no electrical limiter, 130 is just what it will hit at 6600rpm in 5th).
And because itās a supercharger and not a turbo (belt driving a turbine rather than exhaust, so thereās power at low revs/slow speeds) thatāll be better for off roading. Thanks to the low(ish) gearing that my car has, the reduction ratio would mean that Iād have about 5700lb-ft of torque at the wheels (up from around 3600lb-ft right now).

I can respect the Ka.

Of course because the Ka itās the best car of the word
Oh yeah, and thatās not considering the power increase from larger injectors and a higher flow fuel pump that Iād add as well (the point of forced induction is that youāre putting more air into the combustion process, which means you can putt more fuel and thus more power. Larger injectors and a high flow pump would be able to add more fuel bringing out the full potential of the blower). And this is for the non-intercooled version (which Iām going with). In the future, I could add one and thereās even more power (intercoolers cool the air coming out of a compressor and because cold air is denser, you can add more fuel and thus power). I would also have all the stuff to get a corn juice tune (E85 fuel) which will add more power and save some money.
When all is said and done, I could theoretically be pushing 300bhp. Thatās about what the final gen STi had, and it weighed about as much as my car. Those had a 4.7sec 0-60.
Not really about cars, but this would set precedent for a potential right to repair debate surrounding cars when the time comes.
And of course, we (Colorado) are the ones to start the trend.

I agree, smaller cars are better. Thatās a reason why I drive a Japanese station wagon.
The one thing that Iād say I disagree with in that is the final text message thing. If you (not you specifically, you as a broad term) were a parent with kids in the car, protecting them is basically your first priority. If that means being safer in a collision at the expense of some bozo who walks out into the street without looking, then thatās a price to be paid.

Even I disagree with it tbh
i think that pickups are not classified as ācarsā in the usa so they do not have to follow the strict safety standards of cars, so they are unsafe for both its occupants and the people outside it
They are not classified as cars, though ālight trucksā still have to adhere to fairly strict safety standards (though the category of light truck is very vague. A Subaru Crosstrek which is just a lifted Impreza hatchback is technically a ālight truckā). This is the category that 99% of pickups fall into. Heavy duty trucks (Ford F550/GM 5500 series trucks and bigger) have less safety restrictions though those are only used for commercial purposes.
Sure, a pickup from 20yrs ago didnāt have much in the way of crash protection, but neither did regular cars (my car has hollow doors, thin pillars, and airbags that may or may not actually be there/work).
Yes and no, it depends on the type of accident. In a collision, they are 100% safer that a smaller car. If you crashed my Legacy (either my '95 or '03) into a semi at 80mph youād be screwed. If you crashed a new F150 in the same conditions, youād be better off (though some of that comes down to advancements in safety technology). In an accident such as a spinout though where you may end up off of the road at speeds, then yes, youād be safer in a car simply because itās less likely to roll over.
