I wouldn’t mind if I had access to service manuals that let me disassemble it.  Even if I owned a Porsche, I would work on it myself.  I’m that guy that doesn’t even trust dealerships to do warranty work. 

You use prefix pico, but I don’t think you understand it.

Same.  It’s too bad there isn’t shit for jobs out there, at least in my profession. 

It will never cease to amaze me how we humans need to belong to a pack and will HATE people who are not part of our pack.  

The older I get, the more I realize something: People suck.

Wow, that’s a long article. I admit I didn’t read the whole thing, sorry... but when you add safety/complexity to a device operated by people with no training to begin with, it can only get better.

Is that Ray from Trailer Park Boys?

Must be to minimize changes, but yea, I agree it’s odd. 

If you look just to the side of the “carburetor” you can see the common fuel rail and the injectors.  

#FFA500 you glad you can copy the idea? 

Hue got that right!  

You’re right, I think they got in too deep. 

So how in the hell can marking a tire with chalk be unconstitutional, but civil forfeiture is a-ok?

Seriously. What kind of douche says how much money he could bring because of people he knows, but now he won’t since he got his peepee whacked for being a dum dum. Jesus what cry baby. 

callous and unnecessary.

Ha!  I was curious if someone would say that.  Yes, spending nearly 20 years studying and working as a powertrain engineer can certainly skew the idea of what fun is. 

It depends. Never raced with AER, but both Lemons and ChumpCar do local cautions depending on the situations.  I suspect it’s FCY if there is a safety crew on track, but local for other situations.  At VIR, ChumpCar will use a virtual safety car. See a flag with a meatball? Slow to a safety car pace. Worked really…

Ok, I was on the side of giving him the benefit of the doubt when I thought it was a local caution, but it was a freaking FULL COURSE caution. No excuse for that, none. 

Diesel fuel actually burns very near to the same stoichiometric ratio as gasoline. But since the mixture is not homogeneous, you have only have the flame front that is burning near stoich, while the area behind the flame front is rich, yet the overall charge is lean. This non-homogeneity is why diesel fuel emissions…
