Those solder joints are ‘cold’ and will come back to bite ya in the ass later. A little solder wick, clean up the old stuff, some flux, and some new solder would make that a permanent repair. The lead-free stuff tends to vibration crack over time.

Not really a secret. At the time, Lamborghini was owned by Chrysler, and they had experience casting an aluminum engine. The early prototype was made in lamborghinis’ facilities before Chrysler had their own up and running. Lamborghini did a lot of design work on the motor too to make it more compatible with…

Other than being V10 and around 8 liters each, the truck and viper engine share no other characteristics, or parts. The truck v10 is iron, the viper v10 is aluminum. Pistons, cam, crank, intake, conrods, heads,, injectors, and ECU have no interchangeability in any way. They are both descendants of the LA engine,…

The fuel is marked up to retail price. They purchase it wholesale. Their overhead is low, since they don’t have a station, property, etc to maintain. They do just fine on getting a profit. I am sure their taxing structure is also different.

Maybe a link to the recall? Or the dates for actual information content for readers?

They most likely took the water. It was the 60's, they didn’t leave radioactive stuff laying around, and the reason they left the site was the moving/growing ice crushing the facility. But the containment for the coolant might have been left behind...

If there is any waste there, it would be low level, and is probably quite contained. I suspect it will be more components and equipment that is contaminated, rather than large quantities of material. Nuclear weapons don’t exactly ‘leak’ a lot. Plus the ice would have added more containment on top of that.

The law only applies to recording conversations. I imagine simple surveillance (as in, security cameras) would be exempt, as you are not recording the conversation. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall in the event of lip reading going to trial...

I think the case law would ahve to be cited, but the INSIDE of a car is private space, even if in public view. And the restricted access areas of a facility, indoors or out, would also not be public space.

If the security cameras record audio, in those states... yes. if it’s just video, you are not recording a conversation.

It’s got no radioactive materials onboard, there are no yellow trefoils on the hazard placards. Since most of them are blank, I’m guessing the truck is empty, other than the generic ‘dangerous’ placard on display.

Depends on the state, but possibly..

It’s only a 43lb heavier engine, assuming they didn’t do anything to make the 5.0 lighter. And a small increase in COG (Maybe upwards a whole inch or so?)

Looking at the damage and the somewhat corroded state of the cords... These tires were probably a little too old, and i bet the date code would have put them at 7-10 years out.

Since Jalopnik now has proper media-connected overlords (Univision.. who owns stuff like the onion, among others), they most likely must have RIGHTS for every stock image they use that are properly documented. This would include releases from models, etc. Since Univision sort of got stomped by a few of the major…

Problem.

None, NASCAR limits telemetry to none during the race. The onscreen stuff is for TV and co-ordinators only, and is delayed from the actual race. The pit crew/engineer and driver are restricted to voice communications only.

Ford gets more money, and lets be honest, it’s still a pretty damn rare car.

Fords selection process was picking prior owners of Ford GTs, brand ambassadors, etc. Only a few people getting them aren’t ‘gear heads.’ I’d say more than you expect.

The real lesson here is, money talks.
