... and never get into them. Ever. Don’t even consider it, perv.

I thought about it and realized that they’ve drilled and tapped a blind hole in a hardened shaft. If the hole isn’t deep enough or there’s enough crud in the bottom, and they manage to wail on that bolt enough to get it to torque spec, there’s one HELL of a lot of stress on the shaft around the bottom of the hole.

Enou…

And they galvanize their owners for years afterwards.

Those owners are protected from ever wanting another Land Rover...

Oh, or just sink a lag eye into the end of a section of 4x4, and put it on a 3' rope leash tied to the front splitter, and toss under the car.

Should take a few minutes before the fun begins, unless there are speed humps...

Sorry, I’m in a malicious mood tonight.

Step 1 - Find hydraulic floor jack
Step 2 - Find something flattish with a base and a point
Step 3 - Take assembly and “be helpful”
Step 4 - Call fire department if “help” starts before they leave

“Help”, in this instance, defined as thermal runaway...

You’ve caught me on a bad night, Tug. Part of me wants to explain carefully about cylinder pressure, stochiometry, and so on, but another part of me is screaming to hand every single human interaction a series of expletives and unmentionable non-optional anatomical activities before finding a couple liters of vodka…

You’re making cylinder pressures sufficient to account for 855hp. That 100hp of that (and my skin’s crawling a little because we should be talking about torque) drives the supercharger that enables 755hp to escape the combined system.... that’s a point that’s lost on the ECU.

755HP out, 100HP parasitic = 855HP worth…

Yeah, you’re on it. Being aware of the supercharger’s parasitic losses and the “actual” 855HP figure is EXTREMELY important, because while there’s 755HP exiting the system the engine must still produce 855hp.

It’s built for 855hp, it’s fueled for 855hp, and it has to breathe for 855hp.

Ah, a ghost writer!

...which is why it’s camo *padding*. Those aren’t the actual lines.

Itttt’s.... purple.

There was absolutely no way of knowing with certainty that the moon was actually devoid of life, beyond what we know about spores and encapsulation for *terran* life.

Something up there just waiting millions of years for a touch of fresh water? Thankfully no, but at the time completely unknown.

It would be the only way to find out....

(Mustangs don’t have ejection seats)

Everyone’s acronym game is weak these days. HUD? Naw. HECKIN.
Helmet Extended Communication and Kinematic Information Node.

All the F-35 pilots get to wear their HECKIN helmets.

Yes, because that wasn’t it’s major consideration. Job #1 was to make sure it could accompany the bombers to places the other AAF and Navy aircraft would have turned back from before they emptied their fuel tanks.

He had to fit in the casket.

On a not-funny real front though, I’m fairly sure Val has voice issues now due to cancer treatments, I would be seriously surprised to find him reprising any role.

His P-51D’s ejection seat does not fire. I guarantee this.

It’s an umbrella in rain, I think it’s a warning sticker to not spray into it with a hose.

It looks like all the other Audi mainstream vehicles back to what, 1994?
