The only difference is knowledge and labor. Setting up a shock is akin to magic to most. The difference between a race shock and your standard shock is the race shock requires a custom tune.

It’s a fluid-filled cylinder with a spring coil wrapped around it. Hence– Coil. Over.

I don’t need another static, rusting display. CP

I think you’re kind of missing the point about the demand for cuts by VW of its suppliers. Invariably, if cuts are made, there is a reduction in quality. There just isn’t any fat to cut, so VW’s short-term solution - demanding price cuts - will come back to haunt them. Whether it be through worse parts, offshored…

So there would be lots of sweet, Gawker clicks... sigh, when it happens; it’s your fault.

That’s last year’s model, I prefer new models.

I had JetSkis for years - they are so much fun and like nothing else on the water. WaveRunners and such (sit-down skis) - you can only do so many donuts before it gets boring.

back in the day, pinto motors were all the rage - but I do need clarification (but before you do, remember that the writers here are click-dependent thus what you utterly dislike may cause it to happen).... which is “don’t do it” fix it/drive it gently or Honda it?

that motor has, what, 35 hp? I’d put it back together (with a new bearing) and practice nice driving techniques.... seriously. Either that or use it as an excuse to transverse-mount a Honda motor and transmission in it....

I only survived long enough to see one, and that one (depends on jurisdiction) wasn’t a run... many laws say once you’ve broken the imaginary plane created by the closest edge of the cross walk, you haven’t run the light (as long as you don’t block the intersection).

he lost me when he edited the video - there’s a step at 2:something... I didn’t make it much past that point....

unless it’s a fish-eye lens.

I don’t see it. You have to WOT throttle to test that the a/c switch is working properly (most cars have a switch that turns the a/c off at WOT, or rapid throttle application) - so what he did seems to be testing that idea. I dunno, it certainly raises questions but there could be reasonable answers. “AC doesn’t work”…

So, they admit a mistake and want to be forgiven? that’s a bit ironic.

Funny, the President of Snohomish County Search and Rescue hit another volunteer (a decade prior to his election) - and he’s now in charge of all of them. I’m certain, if you knew him you’d think his election was a good thing, but that’s just saving your life... TV is reality, right?

Really? would you have done better then him given his circumstances at the time? sure he blew his cool, but it’s not like he was walking through the park, sniffing flowers on his day off and saw a guy with an unpronounceable name, then assaulted him.... he was routinely being thrown under the bus by the BBC, had…

There are actors, such as the cast of Happy Days, who are so type-cast that it’s nearly impossible to recast them in a different role. Joey is always Joey, it’s too bad because he is a tremendous talent... but I can’t get Joey out of my head when watching TG....

Expecting people to be perfect is pretty foolish. Sure, we agree that he shouldn’t have punched him - but there were mitigating factors, not the least of which was the BBC’s reluctance to support JC after the Argentina stuff and with the false, racist accusations. It really appears from the outside that the BBC set JC…

It needs to hurry up and come out.

Ummm, I hate to burst that bubble (that people aren’t bastard coated bastards with extra creamy bastard filling) - but auction houses routinely have false bidders (employees) there to do nothing but inflate the price. Watch Chasing Classic Cars and listen for the line “there are no bidders in the room” despite the…
