And forget getting into your car on cold days and just driving. Not to mention any sort of off-road, off-camber situation will either shut the fuel off or flood it, depending on which way your float pivots.

I posted it before but it bears repeating just for you: https://jalopnik.com/i-was-the-first-person-to-publicly-crash-a-2016-chevr-1705084839

How hard could it be to talk to a camera and drive? Even a Jalopnik editor can do...oh wait..... https://jalopnik.com/i-was-the-first-person-to-publicly-crash-a-2016-chevr-1705084839

That’s brilliant! Just flip one magnet for reverse.

Is that an indictment of how ineffective a border wall would be? Because my Spanish is not that good. I’ve been thumbing through my repartee and it relies on a lot of idiom that just won’t translate well.

Dude, missed opportunity! You should have said “You must be fun at fiestas”. You know, because I don’t hate Mexicans.....and fiestas are Mexican parties.....I mean, if it makes you feel better, Fiestas are also a car.

Honestly, I try not to think about it. I will wait until I’m old.

Hey, that was the implication of the pubic hair in my original post (plus they liked their bushes natural back then). What the hell do you think happens in the back of limos? Be thankful I stopped short of my original list which included semen.

So gamgam just did orgies in the old Merc’, but stopped short of blow?

Perhaps we could park this on the border with Mexico. There’s 100' of the trump wall. Bonus, it pretty much sums him up as a person; a warped image of wealth, power and glamour, but ultimately useless.

I’m picturing lots of red velour, polyester, cocaine and pubic hair.

Skip ahead to about 1:27 to see the test rig, and to 1:47 to illustrate the thrust load in action. It’s not insignificant.

Driver: keep going!

The shape of the tooth from a side view does not change. If a gear was so soft you could stretch it like taffy, you could “make” a helical gear by twisting a straight cut gear. Like others have said, setting the teeth at an angle puts more teeth in contact at a time and is quieter. This makes a huge difference. …

Straight cut gear teeth also slide. Google “involute gear teeth” and you will see what I mean. Gear design is kind of like bicycle and motorcycle physics; dig just a little deeper and you realize it’s very complicated.

Yes, they aren’t precisely the same thing, but with regard to the changes over the years to automobiles (think from 60's to 90's), they two were so closely linked it made no difference. A 1975 American V8 was both horribly inefficient AND did not burn clean. Unburned hydrocarbons (fuel) are a sign of inefficiency…

My logic doesn’t fall apart at all. The Prius sells well because people want cleaner vehicles. Your a little backwards anyway, at the root is not that clean vehicles are necessarily the goal; the goal is having air clean enough to breath. It amazes me how people take that for granted.

Most Jeeps can’t be stopped; their brakes are shit.

I understand where you are coming from but this is about her achievements, not about Iran’s.
