Ro-gyu is how I mispronounce it.

Test Drive I was crap on the IIgs. The only interesting thing I remember was that if you selected a manual transmission and over-revved 1st gear you could see the carnage in your rear view mirror.

University Motors if you have an MG. South Main Auto and ScannerDanner if your car has a computer in it.

It’s definitely not these people that I’m worried about trampling my ass on the way to the exit.

A little air. It’s the structural equivalent of a styrofoam cup large enough to put a car into, moving through the air at 540MPH. I highly doubt you’re in any intellectual position to rate my qualifications.

Well, at this point, you’ve got your mask on and you’re waiting for the plane to land, what else are you gonna do?

I think it’s hilarious that your comments are at odds completely with what your reference says.

It looks to me that the nacelle simply came off. It looks like a mess but there’s no missing fan ahead of the blades shown in the pictures. Perhaps ground crew forgot to fasten the nacelle properly? The rest of the damage, which looks like a thick piece of aluminum duct that had something violently exploded inside of…

I see a Camry in someone’s future.

It’s a small price to pay for the ability to consider yourself human.

I like the “can’t get there from here” methods that car manufacturers have come up with to keep you out of reverse. Some are better than others. MGB’s you have to slap to the left to get past a detent, but the spring wears out and you come out of R to hit 1st and get stuck in the gate. VW, you have to push the stick…

They’re fucking sprinkles okay?

“unless you did something that is both illegal and that I disapprove of” This particular use of ‘and’ made me happy.

I’m gonna go with aspect ratio w.r.t. the flap axis.

For heel toe shifting in a Camry? They’re perfect!

Ah, but it does matter, look at the cuts on the reverse gear leading edge in a trans without a synchro. They’re beveled to push back against the shift fork when they clash, you can’t do this easily with helical gears. The other reason why helical gears aren’t used for R is that R is engaged in a different manner. It…

Pretty sure there are reading comprehension problems.

I can tell by your response that you either didn’t understand my comment, don’t know how transmissions work, or both. What I said is that the gear is intentionally spun the wrong way to protect you and the transmission from accidental shifts into reverse at any speed. It’s designed to grind in that situation, reject…

I used to have a car that actually had stealth mode. We had a 74 Valiant with a Slant in it that would ‘die’ at lights. Then the questions would start, “Did the car just quit?”, “Can anyone tell if the car is running?”. This would result in an attempt to start the car as it sat there idling. Neither my dad nor I ever…

Some older British cars have unsynchronized 1st gears. My first MGB, a ‘67 wasn’t synchronized, but my ‘68 and ‘69 both are.
