They don't seem like they are the same size, but they almost are. They are a little bit taller. The hair/hats are interchangeable with the mini figs. The hands have the same size grip so they can use the same accessories as the standard figs. The bad thing is that they have fewer points of articulation and lack the…

I agree. Look a the color scheme of even the mundane Lego sets. Take the trash truck: Bold green and white, strong contrasts and large areas of solid colors, 2 mini figs (one female).

I was seeing some of the Chevy HHR in the wreck, but your answer has more style

When I was 17, I was deciding between 2 cars that I could afford, A Green 1968 Nova with a V8 and a slightly trashed interior, or a maroon 1981 Volvo 244 that looked pristine. My mom pressured me into that piece of shit volvo, that turned out to have badly repaired major front end damage and dangerously low levels…

I got pulled over for that a couple of weeks ago, well that and a busted tail light.

Totally not just you. There is something very soviet era about that image.

The engine is probably not fucked as far as that goes, however there are a bunch of electrical components that located pretty low on the tractor that are probably fucked. If the engine was off and nobody is stupid enough to try to start it before the fuel system is drained and purged the repairs are reasonable.

Sure it shows new IH trucks, but I see no proof of rust free. I understood many of them were rusty before they found their first homes.

It is all part of my "Cold Diet"

I respectfully disagree, A one liter bottle of ice water, consumed at or near freezing temperature, will burn ~80 Cal (kcal) in bringing it up to body temperature alone. That assume perfect efficiency in heating your body.

When you go to a multi wheeled HPV (human powered vehicle) where the spokes are the connection between the wheel hubs and the rim, smaller wheels are less likely to fail. Because the wheels are now locked (roughly) into being perpendicular to the road instead on of on a single rack where the wheels are (roughly)…

That is the problem, I only go there for work. For me it is all: stuck in Honolulu traffic, My job only humid, Crap parking, alone in a hotel and too much money for mediocre food.

Yes, but Shawn of the Dead was an R rate movie, and the Winchester was a pretty violent scene. Lego mentioned the level of violence as being a major problem.

Can someone show this video to Michael Bay so he will know what an actual car explosion looks like and how difficult they are to trigger.

A new Subaru WRX in Blue. Rare as hens teeth and the dealers can't order them.

Along with the compression drop (discussed elsewhere) many of the early smog cars also had this piece of shit called a smog pump which acted exactly like the oposite of a supercharger. It pulled torque off the crankshaft and used it to pump air into the exhaust (dilution is the solution to pollution) cranking up the…

I am not going to say never, but when we look at the speed of the valve movement, the force required , and the minmum size requirement for the valve solenoid verses the speed of the magnetic field collapse and it's associated inductance load. It looks like the power draw and the performance hit may not be nearly as…

It looks like delicious Pepper Bacon.

I am a furry dude, and let me tell you. It can take three for four good scrubbings to get the ole tuchus foliage to some semblance of presentability. That whole region can be kind of a disaster sometimes (think peanut butter in shag carpeting) and on a rough day it needs some serious work.

It certainly looks loud. I wonder if it is in any way quick, with a low revving diesel (with mechanical injectors no less) it should be able to pull tree stumps out of the ground in 2nd gear, but it looks like it will take a week to get to 60.
