I like.

I think you’re confusing the Markie award with the Mahkie award.

Every Chevy Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Am, Grand Prix, and Bonneville of the GM FWD era.

I definitely see Devo as your kind of music, Torch!

Exactly. Well, except for actually calling it anything including “turbo” because there is no turbomachinery to be found here.

Actually, with respect to scavenging exhaust decompression energy to use for intake air compression, it by definition doesn’t have to be geared at all to do that because the bottom rotor that is scavenging from exhaust decompression IS the compressor rotor too! That load is just transferred within the bottom rotor…

Furthermore, as a pump engineer that deals extensively with both liquid pumps and compressors, the lower rotor is definitely an air compressor - aka a supercharger.

But what is interesting about it is that it looks like the lower (compressor) rotor will scavenge exhaust energy though the further expansion of the…

Torch, you can’t post this and then not tell us what model Unimog it is and why it is asymmetrical!

I too put the recipients in last on most e-mails.

Brake rotors are not made of plain steel. Stainless steel is used for motorcycles and bicycles primarily for cosmetic reasons - and because their short wheelbase means their deceleration rate is limited more than that of automobiles.

Mmmm, Targa.

Chrome trim is THE WORST.

It doesn’t even look upscale. It just looks cheap - because that’s what it is. Cheap, chromed plastic.

It’s wafted all the way to Pune, India while I’m here on business, too...

Torch, I’m gonna need a sketch of that Japanese bifurcated swamp hippo.

I would hardly call that as much blacked out as possible when there are acres of chrome reflecting everything on it.

‘Stard’ for the comedic misspelling ‘plegue’!

I think it’s time this is dubbed the Parkouring Ramp.

Actually, it’s a giubo (pronounced joo-boh as a single syllable), not a guibo (gwee-boh). It is a flex disc coupling.

Raphael, I think you mean tea and biscuits.

I have a BMW hat that, despite being the most comfortable one I own, I can’t wear in public because I feel like the biggest tool when I do.
