MXA MOTOCROSS RACE TEST: 2018 KTM 450SXF | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

John Buck’s ’56 started out with this nicely done 502-equipped engine compartment fitted with a 750-cfm Holley double-pumper. Buck just wanted something with a little different look and a bit more refinement.

Not all bikes handle the same—on purpose. There are three kinds of frames: sharp-turning, middle-of-the-road and neutral. Which one suits your riding style? 

You’ll recall the B&B certainty that the Prius would be an unreliable nightmare that wouldn’t make it to 80k miles due to all that new fangled tech.

Members of the International Association of Classification Societies board have granted type approval to Fischer Panda UK’s generator range, covering the 4000s Neo and the iSeries Panda 45i genset.

Durant was not too crazy about the idea of motorized vehicles. He did not trust them so he decided to make his own cars. Durant asked Chevrolet to partner with him. Louis Chevrolet had been known for his racing and mechanical skills and Durant named the company after him for that reason. The two men brought in William Little and Dr. Edwin R. Campbell as investors who were both involved in other car companies. It wasn’t till May 2, 1918, that GM and Chevy merged together

Scope of the Vehicle Diesel Engine Market Report:This report focuses on the Vehicle Diesel Engine in global market, especially in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa. This report categorizes the market based on manufacturers, regions, type and application., The industry development of diesel engine was largely affected by national industrial policies and environmental standards in recent few years. With stricter emission standards worldwide and backward emission technology, global consumption of Vehicle Diesel Engine decreased slightly to 15 M units in 2017, the CAGR of global market from 2013-2018 is estimate -1.1%., Diesel engines are mainly consumed in Europe and China countries. The two areas occupy about 86% market share. Besides, North America is also an important market of diesel engine., In terms of technology, there is plenty room for improvement. High pressure fuel injection, low emissions and efficient filtration are the mainly trends for the technology improvement, More energy-efficient and environment friendly Vehicle Diesel Engine will change the situation declining in the diesel engine industry in the future., The worldwide market for Vehicle Diesel Engine is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly -2.0% over the next five years, will reach 44000 million US$ in 2023, from 49600 million US$ in 2017, according to a new study.,2

1) If a car fails its safety inspection, it does not belong on the road. Do you disagree with this? 2) Current passive safety devices have improved collision survival. You have a problem with that? You want to remove them? 3) Most collisions are the result of driver error. You don’t think that some active devices could help prevent collisions due to driver error? You also want to remove them? 4) If consumers want a less expensive vehicle wouldn’t it make sense to dispense with ‘luxury’ items like power equipment, carpeting, etc rather than ‘safety’ items? Or do you think that A/C and power windows and a sunroof are more important than ABS, active head restraints, etc.? 5) Would you let your infant children ride without being mounted in approved child seats? IF not why? Or is it because they represent improved safety for your upcoming ‘brood’. 6) Do you have an SUV or truck like vehicle for your wife to commute in? Is it for its perceived safety? Then aren’t you being hypocritical in decrying safety for the masses? 7) Do you believe that only those in pick-ups or SUV’s deserve to be ‘safe’, or do you agree that those who can only afford compact cars should also have built in safety features? 8) Although I kept mentioning facts, you have relied solely on your emotional responses. And then tried to ‘put words in my mouth’. I get it, your family originally had to rely on old, small cars. Well so did mine, when I was young. But I learned from that and moved on. Police officers use the term ‘deathtraps’ for a reason. It is not based on the vehicles age, but its condition.

The problem with the EPS would occur during low-speed turning maneuvers that would lead to collision.

It’s not necessarily the cost, but the principle of the matter. I don’t want to be at the mercy of the dealer service department for something this simple. Toyota doesn’t see it this way and its a limitation of the system itself.

"I was driving on the freeway on my way to the office this morning, as I approached heavy traffic travelling at 75 mph. I applied the brakes and my brake pedal went completely to the floor. The truck had complete and total brake failure. I was fortunate enough to avoid an accident by going down the grass in between the 2 opposing lanes of traffic." – Aug 28,2018 58,000 miles

The four-cylinder is the smallest engine offered in a full-size truck but it’s not the most efficient. The turbocharged, 2.7-liter V6 available in the Ford F-150 posts 20, 26, and 22 mpg, respectively, while offering more power. The 3.3-liter V6 also offered returns 19, 25, and 22 mpg while making less power and torque. Shop Ram and the 1500’s 3.6-liter V6 delivers 20 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined thanks in part to a mild hybrid system.

Parking sensors have been a much-request feature since the launch of the second-generation Colorado for the 2015 model year, and we’re glad to see Chevy adding it. Though definitely useful and welcome, all Colorado models come with a standard rear view camera, and some might find the addition of the parking sensors at the rear somewhat redundant.
