Maybe one of the 10,000 lights in the cockpit tells you which engine has died?

There are these instrument thingies that tell you how each engine is performing. Like an engine light in your car.

Oh I don’t know , maybe the Engineer’s guages??

They have instruments in the cockpit (actually, video displays) that would help them isolate the bad engine.

There are cockpit indications for vibration level on each individual engine and so it would be obvious which one you needed to shut off. And, generally, it’s required by procedure if the vibrations exceed a threshold. All modern, ETOPS-certified twin engines can fly on one engine for quite a long time.

I’m not disingenuously claiming that I hate to point out the commenters original disingenuousness. In fact, I’ll confess to enjoying it. 

This is certainly true in the UK. The default driving test is manual, which qualifies you to drive manual and automatic vehicles. If you only want to deal with automatics, you can request an auto-only test, which grants you an auto-only licence. Most people sit the standard test, and if they buy an auto later down the…

This whole article seems like it’s just one big plug...

Reminds me of SilverHawks...hopefully I’m not the only one that remembers that one from the 80's

I’ll Just leave this here.

According to their website, they were founded in north korea and maintain a ratio of 70:30, whatever that means.

Most likely for weight distribution and packaging constraints. You can make 1500HP out of a 4 cylinder, so this wasn’t all about making power.

This went on until the late 90's . I worked in car rentals for a while and experienced a pretty decent sample of what was out there. I remember thinking many of the cars we had could have used a 4th gear. Overdrive was still seen as a “premium” feature found on Malibus and above, not so for the Cavalier, Sunfire,…

The most horrifically inefficient automatic transmissions were mated to every size of engine and car in North America throughout the 70s and 80s and sold well. Cars like 1.4 liter Chevettes, Sprints, 65-horsepower Escorts, you name it...

Pretty sure that’s a Fiat Regata, dude

Stolen, will now be my office pc background

It really is a pretty good film, if you take it for what it is. I’m glad people are enjoying it over there!

I’ve fond memories - and and a few fond absences of memory, that weird hillbilly mountain grappa kicked my arse - of italy in my travels. Blasting through Cisa Pass like missle in a Porsche whose dodginess was…

Fun facts - Italian spiderman is actually an Australian film, from the same guys that made the excellent Danger 5.

This reminds me of when I was a kid and pushed down too hard on my HotWheels toys. The damn wheels would “splay” upwards and bow out at the bottom. I guess I had “stance” before stance was cool. Oh wait, it’s still not cool.
