I once got a cat. light on an Audi A4 1.8t because the waste-gate from the turbo broke off and shot into the cat...

fffuuu that car sucked.

Actually, it should stay in the system...go get it checked.

Honestly, it could be the gas cap - make sure it's tightened all the way. Otherwise it might be your catalytic converter.

Dear Autos, what do you think about the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

Find a dirt cheap one on Craigslist and go ruin it while you learn...

I have only had the chance to spend that one day with the car. However, it has a few things going for it that make it fun to drive, with the manual transmission and rear-wheel drive being the main two.

Difference between double clutching and revving while the clutch is out during a regular downshift?

Mr_Randy_Watson 0 points1 point 3 days ago[-]

They are related, but Heel-toe downshifts are used for more performance oriented reasons.

"The purpose of the heel-toe-double-clutch is to downshift into the correct gear, and thus optimal engine RPM, for exiting the corner while placing the least wear and tear on the entire drivetrain."

oh hai!

I am a Redditor for sure...

The Genesis Coupe is a good car that could be made into an excellent car with just a few tweaks.

Just to be sure, you aren't getting either term confused with a heel-toe downshift right?

(not trying to be a dick, just curious)

I like what ICON is doing

I didn't say that... Land Rovers are amazingly capable vehicles.

I am just saying that this is a hand-built machine which is as capable and more interesting.

A fucking Toyota Land Cruiser is just as capable as a Land Rover and costs less too. That is not the point here.

Do you want the same car that rich ladies use to shuttle to and from the grocery store or do you want something more unique and interesting?

because it is a hand crafted piece of art.

I have $300 in my paypal account that I don't need, I want to give it away to one of you guys.

I don't have a sob story, I just want to get a new camera lens for my Canon 300D

Mr_Randy_Watson 0 points1 point 9 days ago[-]

very cool.

Any advice on a lens for shooting the interior of an automobile? I know I need a wide angle, but I am not sure what I should be looking for.

Basically, I would like to get a shot like this: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/08/lead11buickenclavereview2010.jpg

Interesting...see I have spoken with other photographers who say they never take the UV filter off.

I am quite interested in adding a prime to my bag. You like the 50?

Mr_Randy_Watson 1 point2 points 10 days ago[-]

How did you get in to travel writing?

I write about automobiles and I have always been curious about this, since my wife and I really enjoy traveling.

I have thought about pitching stories to some of the print publications but I imagine they get flooded with them.

I'm a cop. AMA

The Caprice is coming back though...and it should be based on the Pontiac G8 (or Holden, if you are from Australia).

Any tips for someone looking to become a better photographer?

I mostly shoot automobiles. I have a Canon 300D with just the 18/55 it comes with. I keep a UV Filter on there and I have a circular polarizer as well.

I just bought photoshop to edit/enhance...

There is a bar just down the road that runs behind that airport... it's a MUCH better place to watch the planes come in.

Plus they have the tower and a loudspeaker so you can hear the chatter between plane and tower.

I believe they only get 2 747s per day now though...

We got a doggie door this weekend. Even though I tried and tried to show her how to use it, this is how my dog spent most of the day...

My wife and I fostered a Bassett for 30 days, about 2 years ago... I still miss that dog.

What's also funny, is how advanced the Corvair actually was at the time...
