but then I will never get to fight synths and raiders and make settlers fight to the death!

Not sure, I’ve played Fallout New Vegas, seems pretty fun.

I tried to find a question that this answer wouldn’t apply to... I got nothing.

Cocaine and hookers.

Yup. It’s the unlocked door at the end of the hall with “DO NOT OPEN” scrawled across the placard. How many people have opened that door out of wanting to know what they’re barred from viewing?

I feel like the BIGGEST creep when I check for manual or auto.

Probably not, because my hp comparison was with the Veyron from over 10 years ago. But it brings up a good question, with the proper aerodynamic mods, could the Demon be the worlds fastest production vehicle? (I’m thinking a nose cone and a really tall wing)

Am I the only one who is a bit scared for the general public because of idiots who buy these cars and can’t control them properly?

Watch out for Bethesda lawyers for using word Scroll :P

It would be more likely that the compression tester leaks and the compression is fine.

I heard cap, rotor, points and condenser. That’s why I said go back over that stuff. Not that it would directly explain loss of compression (which I forgot he said they verified with a tester), but you could draw a line between a slipped points adjustment making detonation, and blowing out a weak cover gasket. So I’d…

I laughed out loud at this. Which busted my cover that I wasn’t really listen to my wife.

Usually when I read a DT story, my thought process is twofold:

Not possible. When he took the head off (with a fucking crowbar!), he took the block to a machine shop and paid a few buckes to ensure that the head & deck were perfectly flat so they’d mate perfectly.

Oh, wait, no. He did no such thing. He tweaked the head, and the gasket is blown. No compression.

So you’re suggesting he take something more structurally sound & leagues safer, as compared to the Jeep.

Honestly, I get the feeling small towns are more likely to have this stuff than others. People have some odd cars in the middle of nowhere and odd parts land on the shelves.

This was my second consideration. My first is that the head has lifted.

David,

This has been a fun ordeal to follow. I think next year you should go easy on yourself, and try to build an off-roader from scratch starting with discarded soup cans and aluminum foil. Give yourself at least two weeks.

On the bright side, Project Slow Devil provided some of the best Jalopnik in my 5 years of reading
