Fascinating! There is a similar treat in Germany with a variety of names (in Luebeck they are called “Mutzen” [“moo-tsen”]), that is also not filled. The dough is cut into rhombic pieces, deep-fried in lard und dusted with powdered sugar. Here it is a staple of the traditional christmas markets.
Gemballa is a little bit late to the party:
Well. nobody is “forcing” us to buy new cars (the conspiracy theorists next door would say different), but there are some factors that come into play here:
Fascinating ... it is the same over here in Germany: For some time now, people think they are entitled to more or less running down school children just because they have their hazards on.
Nope ... exactly the opposite. A reasonable person wouldn’t rely on the possibility of a printed warning. A reasonable person would know their allergies/intolerances and the ingredients that trigger them. A reasonable person would think and not just react.
The 4L60E is an automatic transmission. The engines were fine, but the transmissions were shredding flexplates at sustained engine speeds of 6000 rpm, at least according to Opel sources. Sounds a little bit strange to me, since the Corvette had a 4L60E up until 2005. On the other hand: The Vette wasn’t engineered…
Sorry, LS1, not LT1.
They tried that again with the Opel Omega B (the basis for the Cadillac Catera). The engineers successfully shoved a 350 LT1 under the hood, but the 4L60E’s kept dying painful deaths in sustained Autobahn driving. The whole project was shelved mere weeks before the intended release. Brochures and press material were…
Indeed. And I never realized how similar both are.
If you assume all other people are idiots (I know, it’s difficult) the whole thing gets easier. We have a multi-level mall with as many parking levels in the adjoining parking garage. You wouldn’t believe how far (literally) people go just to park at base level. They park in the farthest corner, while smart me goes up…
Uh, that reminds me of that spectacular flight a 24-year old driver sent his Skoda Octavia (a slightly larger and cheaper Golf-derivative) on. He managed to hit a berm at a perfect angle and perfect speed, shot at least 33 feet high and straight into a church roof. He was severely wounded, but lived.
Black Badge reflects the desires of a distinct group of Rolls-Royce clients: men and women who take risks, break rules and build success on their own terms.
The First Order, while huge, was never implied to be as big as the Empire but now they have a hundred Star Destroyers, while the Rebels went from 40 people and one ship to a massive army bigger than the original Rebels in one year.
More commonly known as the “Audi palette”...
While I certainly get some of your points, telling me
The cooling needed isn’t that much. In fact, most excavators (wheeled and tracked), wheelloaders, forklifts etc are built that way. A hydrostatic drive is a great thing for driving off road. Huge torque, no break-prone U-joints and you can switch from forward to reverse at any speed. The downsides are speed (max 20…

My grandfather, a construction machinery salesman, had perfected the way of steering around these obstacles. He just came forward, stretched out his hand and greeted the “stranger” with “Oh, Mr *subtlyclearingthroat*, great to see you here!” And it worked. His customers always were delighted that he remembered their…
