I approve.

Newer ones four-speeds have a park position. But chalking was typically the norm, if we were operating anywhere near aircraft.

That the “new” Pontiac GTO was a perfect homage to the original. Ordinary car looks, with a lot of performance for the cost.

Most cars since the advent of electronic fuel injection cut fuel flow while under a engine braking/negative load scenario. For visual reference, if you’ve ever been in a car that displays “instant” fuel mileage, you’ll typically see the display go to 99.9 as the injectors aren’t firing.

Some sick part of me has always wanted to do a build of the wagon. It just looks simply bizarre, and yet awesome.

Independent suspension swap too, likely two first in a world of people who can only dream of developing the skill for an engine swap.

This engineering is a far cry from say the vaccum cannister on an 1985 Lincoln Towncar. So here I am at a junkyard last week looking for a vaccum canister for a project I’m working on. And I look under the hood at this old lincoln.

Even has more ground clearance too!

Flat black rattle can job, with a ton of banding is a must.

This is one of those rare times you could send a lowball “Hey I didn’t even look to see what car it is but I’ll give you $700" e-mail to a craigslist seller, and they’d tell you that you’re crazy for offering that much

Pure CO is, engine exhaust isn’t. Source: Had a few 2016 Excursions as rentals for two weeks. The smell of the EcoBoost equipped Excursion at idle made me want to pass out if any door were to be opened. Not sure if the Explorer is tuned the same way but it honestly smelled like straight raw fuel. On rare occasion we…

Our neighbor gave us that same line about a minivan being a soccer mom mobile went we got a caravan. They were the ones with a 2wd Explorer, and a kid that actually played soccer. I laughed at them.

Everyone knows it’s really all about the Express.

It’s likely a checklist item, followed by engine fire shutdown procedures to isolate the flow of fuel, hydraulic, and bleed air to the affected engine.

Might be variations in EGT if the damage was severe enough (I would assume higher EGT with lower RPM on N1 or the bypass side), yaw motion towards side with damaged engine if it’s not making as much power.

Just be sure to start at the right edge of the circle, not the left.

They were probably baking in the 90s.

It’s rather amusing that I bought an engine (EZ30D gen 2) from them a few days before they shut down.

On the flip side, an aircraft autopilot is generally far less automated. And it too will warn pilots before it disconnects, requiring occasional intervention.

Wouldn’t a donut car work best... On donuts. YEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!
