I really wish that the wrecker also brought a camera, so the world can see how amazingly stuck this rig is, and how stupid this road is.

Proper song for this (not best version)

When they give locations to the dispatch, they are giving the actual locations where the filming was happening.

Here is what is crazy, in the film they give the actual address where it was filmed. The Bank building is still there and recognizable.

If that was my choice, I would vote Libertarian. Instead my choice is between a Progressive who is hamstrung when it comes to taxes or a Fundy Theocrat.

But I kind of doubt that AMC put a 2bbl carb that was worth a shit on my Jeep.

because racecar!

I know, I am stuck with a crappy 2bbl carb on my jeep with no way to do an affordable upgrade because "original smog equipment"

I wish California's Luftverschmutzung Führer would allow gonzo engine swaps. So many great car bodies with anemic engines still strangled with piss poor smog controls.

Start with LeMons and Banger racers, work your way up. Maybe run a basic road racing school. try to make a profit without bringing in F1.

I look at that lovely runway and all the tarmac and support structures and I think; This is just a few truckloads of used tires and some painted lines from being an awesome race track.

A fiberglass polymer coil spring will be really interesting to check out. It isn't terribly intuitive, but the forces inside a coil spring are torsional.

I bought the 5 door WRX and can confirm, it does baby.

As I see it, the problem is that PowerPoint isn't being used as designed. It should be used to show charts and graphs and other things that you are talking about. I f you are talking about a Chevy Cobalt, have a picture of the Cobalt on the screen. If you are talking about the monthly sales numbers, put them on…

It is actually the minimum force the tire can apply to the panel. Here is where it gets ugly fast. Embed a rock in your tread, now you have a contact force concentration. A couple of years ago I did a big project on roofs where the solar panel was part of the roofing membrane. All it took was one asshole who…

Draw a free body diagram of a tire. What you will find is that the contact patch pressure is the tire pressure plus a little bit for sidewall stiffness.

It is a pretty good first order approximation. If your goal is to to do a back of the envelope estimate of loads in a system you air pressures is approximately contact pressure will get you within 10%.

Cowl inducted 350 with NOS and it only pulled 220 hp? Maybe what he needed was a car that blends with the locals. Drop that engine in some eastern European steel, brush paint on some housepaint, put a solid muffler on it so it is quiet.

Not to worry, the odds are strong that, if you want a new one the dealer will still have one in the back of the lot for the next couple of years.
