...says you and your relatives that starred you.

It's metric, and so it's a craptonne.

Turbos = more hot bits under the bonnet = more fiery Ferraris!

Good god. Do synchros last long shifting like that or is this a synchro-less transmission? In my mind I can envision shift forks bending and dog clutches eventually getting chewed away.

So you're saying "their" could be used as plural but as a singular _only_ if the gender is unknown? That's quite a messy rule if it were to ever become a reality.

YES! Grammar errors have so pervaded writing that they become the norm. "His," "her," or "his or her" is correct. Using "their" as singular must not become accepted because you end up with sentences that do not make sense! For example, "My daughter met their friend at the mall." Huh?! Or, "The old lady with the help…

He's right about the oil volume. The oil pump will pump enough oil volume even at low temperature. The "cost" is high drag on the engine and high oil pressure. Again, I'm not talking about extreme cold where the oil is beginning to solidify (in which case the oil pressure bypass will activate to relieve the excess…

I think you're reading too much into what is being said. Tolerances matter. Oil viscosity matters. Thermal expansion is a thing. Oil flow is a thing. Nobody has denied these (despite what you may think). We're saying that your engine will not self destruct because you drive it cold. That's all.

Automobile engines use a positive displacement pump. They pump, more or less, a consistent volume of oil regardless of viscosity. In any case, read my comment carefully; I didn't say thermal expansion or oil flow changes don't occur. I'm saying that these things are not issues that require you to idle your engine…

Thank you! The oil flows just fine at typical cold temperatures. There is so much BS being spewed in the comments above about lack of oil flow, tolerances, etc., that I had to double check if I was reading Jalopnik or Jezebel.

Dude, it's a plane. Nobody is safe if an incident were to happen. Also, kids under two nearly always sit in a parent's lap. If safety is such a concern, then attack the numerically superior ostensible problem, not the 1/100,000 child with special needs.

I feel similarly. Unfortunately, the simplest answer is usually the truth; I'm starting to think that the F-35 is a overly complex dud created by people too smart for their own good.

I bet the Canadian government (who has a bias toward the F-35) is waiting for F/A-18 production to cease prior to announcing its choice for the country's next primary fighter jet. This way the F-35 will be the default winner.

"Today's CGI" still sucks without the help of some real physics from some real explosives. In fact, I find most uses of CGI appallingly bad and they tend to ruin scenes for me.

All the crying and whimpering would make me laugh my head off. Yes, if you squeal at turbulence, I will mock you.

Don't get the vapours near your paint though!

Doesn't the catalytic converter get fouled or overheated from frequent exposure to that much excess fuel? To pre-empt any flippant answers, perhaps I should ask instead, how was the exhaust engineered to provide the regulated durability requirement despite frequent way-rich operating conditions?

This picture just captured everything that is right in this world!

Some Chinese products are damn good. Some are total she-ite. Rock bottom priced tires are probably the latter.

Greater aircraft cross-section means more drag. Also, for the same cabin width, you could have six extra-wide seats in a 3x3 arrangement, or six regular seats in a 2x2x2 configuration. I would prefer the former even if I had the middle seat.
