They’re there to keep the vehicles from flipping over or simply flying when they catch the wind sideways.

It was always an engineer’s game. Races have always been won by engineers and crew who were able to make changes based on objective data, not by those people who tweak stuff just because. I was reading the other day about the Shelby Daytona coupe and how even aero “experts” said the car shouldn’t work (except it did,…

Curious- how are you finding it and how long have you had it?

I’m not sure I understand. This knife is one of the most recommended in existence, have you never used one?

It’s probably worth mentioning that:

There are States in which people ride motorcycles without wearing helmets.

The difference is that Audis and BMWs are monocoque structures... a truck still has a steel frame. So it’s just the body we’re talking about.

almost 240 hp in a chassis that light... that doesn’t sound like a lot of power? That sounds like an Italian version of the Honda S2000.

After watching Death Note, Wangan Midnight, I realized that most of them sucked. Then I watched the Kenshin movies and all hope was restored.

I think these infernal things are meant to be used on relatively unseized bolts as I’ve never had luck using them on anything with a hint of rust. So their range of usefulness is rather small...

I do this with the fucking retainer screws on rotors you often see on Hondas and the like. They’re also completely unnecessary, so I leave them out unless I’m doing my friends’ (in which case I run a tap through the hole to clean everything up). Way better than wasting hours trying to get them out.

Dota is like Counterstrike... go pro or go home. It took me the better part of half a year before I felt like I understood the nuances of every hero... and it took several hundred games for me to become merely average.

Sergio Marchionne spent a lot of his educated years in Canada too

To be fair, RATM makes me react the same now as it would if I were a toddler... appears to be a common thing

First of all, I wrote this post 1 year ago. Second, never had “a” swing axle? Yes, the car had a semi-trailing arm, a torsion beam, and axles... maybe the generation of toe-in and out counts it out as far as a swing axle in your eyes, but the jacking effect and camber changes are all there. If you re-read my second…

Thanks! I don’t think having a HUGE standing army during peacetime is good for any nation and the US has a very large army as it is currently; but putting the pieces into place, giving a nation the ability to quickly ramp up in response to threats is the most sensible thing to do.

Is it really feasible to maintain an invasion force level army during peacetime? I thought after WWII the Americans were trying to decommission and shrink the army as fast as possible.

It’s actually horsepower=Torque X RPM /5252

That’s because you didn’t go far enough east. Montreal and QC (to a lesser extent) are tolerable and even friendly, but if you’re an anglophone and/or visible minority elsewhere prepare to be openly insulted.

That is the key, but it’s also the most difficult part of the job. In any given moment in a inner-city intersection, you have to account for hundreds of potentially stupid actions by any number of pedestrians, cyclists, other drivers, random animals, road conditions, weather conditions, etc. An experienced, well…
