All thoughts about rotary engines are silly. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being silly! My first thought was “i wonder just how much my guys would charge...”

In the case of the Opel CIH, it was more of a case of manufacturability than maintainability. The design used many of the same parts and features as a pushrod engine, which meant that it was an easier sell to the overlords at GM than a full overhead cam design. Pontiac half-assed it with their own OHC experiment and…

That would be fun ... if you could somehow pack it in there.

Whatever attorney they get for dipshit is just going to squeal “He’s troubled!” and “Mental Health struggles.” and likely get five years on parole.

That’s my hope as well. That’s what logic would tell me. But we don’t live in a logical country. And these fuckos are always down to try it.

While living in Washington state AND having called into the recently traumatized New York area city?

Yep. Right now a couple rampers are losing their jobs, but the pilots had no control over any of this (nor does staffing at the TRACON). 

Installed NOS, but never used. Bullshit. Pull the other one.

Mr. “They can really trace a phone call???” has farked around... now we’ll see about finding out.

“$4500. No lowballers. I know what I ruined.”

“Companies forget ignore that employee longevity and loyalty are a tw0-way street.”

He was a working class plumber who upgraded from a 65 Comet Callente with a 289. Apparently the 400 motor that was an option was a dog motor compared to the 351 and 429. 

Hmmm...

At a former employer we had layoffs in 2009. Usually there was some sort of “all-clear” noticed that let everyone know that all the people affected had been notified. We got that. Then a week later myself and a tech in my department were notified that we were affected, but that we had to stay for 6-months to get a…

Or maybe the A380 is just a conveniently available modern 4 engine aircraft. There aren’t a lot of those, since most everything else has two (very large) engines. Because when you test something new and you can just replace two out of four engines with that new thing, you can get around having to replace two out two…

OTOH, the ‘73 and up LTD (and Grand Marquis, for that matter) developed some serious, blobby bloat. This one looks much better than its successors.

Every postal vehicle should at a minimum be a hybrid

That was a dumb GOP-led effort to plunge the USPS into financial ruin and thus give a reason to privatize it. 

Here’s how the guaranteed hours thing works for automotive technicians:

If anything, this should be the easiest damn thing to plan out for electric vehicles....
