Diesel engines offer better operational performance, which makes them a preferred choice over petrol engines.,

We recently removed my mother’s driving license. She has driven over 65 years without an at fault accident. As the Doctor explained to her “every driver is a good driver until the second that they are not”. These mandatory safety devices help to delay or prevent that split second.

I like the back up camera in my new GTI, and I have long been a fan of ABS, DSC, & seatbelts. Airbags are slightly net positive for women, slightly net negative for men, and only add about 5% survivability over using good belts. If they were available & legal on new cars, I would choose manually adjusted (non-inertial reel) four point belts instead of airbags. It is what I used in SCCA Pro Rally competition in the 60s and 70s and found them to be superior in every way to other restraint systems.

I would love a backup camera. In so many cars of this era it’s very hard to see out the back window, including my ’08 Civic. The general lack of visibility drives me nuts. I’d rather instead of various cameras and warnings, that the feds would mandate visibility. That would make driving more of a pleasure, as well as increasing safety.

3) Most of the ‘state imposed’ safety requirements have proven to be effective. Crumple zones, 3 point safety belts, head restraints, ABS and stability control have all either served to reduce collisions or traffic fatalities. Thus again reducing societal costs. And history has proven that left on their own, that many (if not most) auto manufacturers would not have made these features standard equipment. Not to mention the ‘cheating’ that some manufacturers have been found to engage in regarding ‘crash tests’. So ending government safety mandates is not a long term cost savings. Again requiring these features is a utilitarian necessity/benefit.

Us Lake Wobegone types, on the other hand — every one of us an above-average driver — can just turn ’em off.

With fresh Edelbrock gaskets, the new polished 2×4 intake dropped right into place with a set of polished stainless ARP intake bolts. This was followed by dropping in a standard MSD ready-to-run distributor and plug wires.

Finn, who lives near the Sequoia National Forest in California, was out one Saturday in April exploring some dirt roads near his house, planning to go camping. He told me over the phone what the road conditions were like. “I was in four-wheel drive low, I was in off-road mode, I was not going fast, and I was driving on a two-track road that had deep ruts, he said. “It had you moving back and forth, but slow going.”

I filled the reservoir with brake fluid, squeezed the rubber hose a few times to make sure the fluid was getting into the master cylinder, and attached a one-person bleeder tool to the slave cylinder nipple shown below.
