EDIT: Also trucks
Lol Ferrari FF is an AWD-based AWD system. Because don't they have a drive shaft coming out the front and rear of the engine? I specifically left that one out.

I think you are right, but IIRC, about 20% of the power goes to the front wheels and the fronts are off in 5th and 6th.

EDIT: And 7th, apparently.

WRX STI DCCD with more than a 59:41 rear bias? My first thought would be that it would add some weight and cost to make a rear diff that could handle 100% of the torque, but only some of the time.

Merc AMG is rear biased now iirc, also comes with a 'RWD mode'

When I bought an FR-S I believed fun cars were dying, and certainly the fun car/practical car ratio seems way off these days, but there's still passion designing cool cars, bean counters and lawyers don't have the final say.

Damn can Chris Harris sell a car.

I feel your pain. I've been feeling "raspy" for about two weeks. Went to the Doc on Monday and found out I had pneumonia!

With all the flu going around in Georgia though (the hospitals I work for are completely full and having do makeshift beds for overflow) I feel lucky.

Doc I saw said I was the healthiest sick person he'd seen since before Christmas.

I think that's a good thing.

What's the denominator in AVG MPG?

Is it MPG per Gallon? Per Mile? Minute?

Oh damn, feel better. This winter’s virus is pretty bad. It have taken more than half of my work staffs around Xmas (including me).

For me, my immune system sucks so I get sick often, but at the same time I heal up in 2~4 Days... if it’s not anything major. Nothing usually stay with me that long. Longest I’ll have is like 7~9 Days and that’s rare of me.

Also feels like going to hospital is kind of waste, I’ll get more sick going there getting more viruses. So just stay home, drink a ton of water, sweat like crazy & take vitamins.
