The RWD VQ exhaust note is right up there with straight-piped Harleys and fart-cannoned b-series Honda motors as one of the worst sounds to come from an engine. Droning, uninspired, and unpleasant are three words I would use to describe it. It sounds terrible.
It is also a very thrashy engine as you get to redline.…
I’ll comment on two of these: the 500 and the Cavalier.
This tickles my jimmies.
Nope, he decided life is over. that's why he's selling his Viper.
Few? try one.
He did, but it was at the hands of an early-90's dark green Ford Taurus.
DSM: Have you walked your crank lately?
Yep. When a shithole costs $1 million, the decora are cheap.
We sold them too. They were ~$8 per vs. $0.39 pet for the old-fashioned plugs. I bet you can guess What was more popular.....
I will concede that the Decora are more aesthetically pleasing and that the people I was helping were replacing old outlets, which would have skewed my sample.
I will say that my little brother just moved into his new-build house in November 2014 and the only places where the ‘decora’ style plugs were used were the…
As someone who worked part-time at a hardware store until December 2012, I can say that the style that they've chosen is far more common than the style you posted. The only place where the outlets you posted are ubiquitous are in damp areas of the house. Code stipulates either GFI or GFCI circuits in damp areas, and…
Absolutely, but without the stress risers it will expand further, and explode more dramatically.
I would love to see them polish the hell out of the edges of the CD to get rid of the stress riser that propagated and was the failure point. See if they can top 250k (or 500k) RPM and film to see how the disintegration differs when it doesn't have the stress riser.
Clarkson/May/Hammond will get picked up elsewhere. The show won't be called "Top Gear", as the BBC bought out Clarkson from the production company that owns the rights to the name and format.
That being said, it's completely Clarkson's fault that things turned out the way that they did, and I am super excited to see…
TG is not dead, as the BBC owns the rights to the show. They will come back with another cast of hosts, and it will be Season 1 Episode 1 of the Clarkson/May/Hammond series all over again. Wooden, dull. Basically TG America.

The McLaren F1 needs a new fuel bladder every 5 years.
Photoshop. Just like this one:
3:25 is why I never want to be a factory test driver.
