“95% of my usage of the DVR is to not hear Dennis Leary screaming.”

Not nearly enough people want to deal with restrictions for the sake of their other people’s health .

“Honest officer; I’m not drunk, I’m just doing S-turns so I can see the road ahead!”

Keep in mind autopilots in aircraft can be both life-savers—a simple wing leveler can save a pilot experiencing spacial disorientation, if s/he thinks to employ it—and problematic if used incorrectly, and most drivers don’t have nearly the savvy of even an average private pilot.

I think the F-150 is the only all aluminum-bodied truck, if not the only all-aluminum vehicle—is a Tesla all-aluminum?—but GM trucks have a couple Al components (I think most engines are aluminum these days). This was a HUGE deal a few years ago.

I always wondered why my ‘08 Bullitt’s owners manual stressed “press the clutch pedal all the way to the floorboard” (or something like that).

I though to, too, about rev-matching, but for DD it’s a blessing.

Don’t think a shaker would work with CAI.

Steeda makes a spring that is well-regarded (more than $0, though).

The Recaros don’t have power adjustment and heating/cooling. I have the standard seats in my Bullitt and they are very comfortable, and well-bolstered.

Sometimes I think the Japanese hire only origami experts to design their cars.

“meanwhile, Florida and Georgia are lying and either obfuscating or outright falsifying their numbers to hide the increase, and people Fox News just parrot their bullshit as if it’s true.”

Lycoming O(pposed)-320/360 ... powers probably 2/3 of light piston aircraft.  Continental O-520/550 ... some of the smoothest aircraft engines ever.

They’re known for cracking their tubular exhaust manifolds (not headers but not cast either). Aside form that pretty bulletproof.

The non-glamorous, but legendary:

“... two-liter models joined the lager motor...”

The fines are one thing, but your insurance company will make your life miserable if you get too many ‘points’ (at least here in California).

re: “... Ppl run into cop cars because they are rubbernecking...”

In older cars, before CANBUS, if your turn signal cycled quicker than the typical 1/sec, it usually indicated one of the bulbs is burned out. The old, resistance (heat) powered ‘flashers’ required a certain total circuit resistance to cycle properly, a burned out bulb increased the resistance causing the flasher to…
