Hmmm., Mr. Blurzz is leaving the shop. Looks like a brand-new Peterbuilt! Looks like all die-cast!!!

It's when a driver shifts down in order to slow his truck. It is illegal in some places because it is very loud.Originally posted by powderburner
What exactly is a 'Jake brake?'
It's more than just downshifting. Behold: How Stuff Works: Jake Brake. In summary, it turns your engine into an air compressor driven by the wheels, and releases the compressed air as soon as it's squished, and that's what causes the bowling-ball-down-a-washboard sound.Originally posted by Blue_Ninja_150

I think as boring as the past few years have been (Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, ---------) it is going to be pretty exciting when Ferrari finally changes out drivers. Wanna make any bets on how many more years Michael sticks around (he's getting pretty old for an F1 guy)?Originally posted by Justy
