I think it does a good job illustrating how shape affects flow rate. Yes, topology is a limiting factor in deciding what can be placed in a given location. And the required flow rate also dictates what is needed. If you only have a standard demand of 200, you don’t need all the fancy stuff. But if traffic grows to a…

Corvair is always the answer, even in the classroom.

When I moved cross country I traveled about 2000 miles on I-80. The worst stretch of pavement was the one I had to pay to drive on. I even had to pay the toll to have my totaled truck towed off of it. I know people will say “we’re just trying to get money for people who never stop in our state but use our roads!”, but…

Indeed, because circle track.

He never even made it to a race. They got word of it and preemptively banned it to avoid a disruptive concept to damage the sport.

What happens when LeMons drops it’s budget limit to $300. MSRP.

I honestly wish I could find such a home for my Corvair.

Likely the reverse switch not hooked up right or broken during the swap.

Whenever I go out to eat, I try my best to make myself as low maintenance as possible. Meaning figuring out what I want quickly, if I’m a repeat customer finding out how to order so it can be recorded quickly and easily. (eg: rib eye, medium rare, baker, just butter, no salad, coke) If I ask for something unusual like…

There isn’t anything wrong with it that can’t be fixed in some bloke’s shed...

Find a nice looking Jeep Grand Cherokee. WJ. Ad says no check engine light. Go to see the car, wait for someone else to get back from a test drive. Look inside, check engine light. Do the key trick to get the codes, look them up, both O2 sensors. (I owned a Dakota with the same engine for 13 years before this, I know…

I’d have bought that old GMC off of my dad, but I couldn’t afford to own and operate it at the time. We used it like a freaking tractor. Last known bit was that it passed a smog check in 3/2005, and failed on 8/2005 with a tampered device. So I’m pretty sure that it effectively died then. I don’t know the VIN, only…

I own a car without A/C. GM made 329,632 Corvairs in 1961, 1,600 came with A/C. For ‘67-69 they weren’t even offered since the AIR pump took the place that the A/C compressor needed. At one time my family literally had five cars in the driveway with a single working air conditioner.

The pictures were representative of the loads. Consumer level cameras required film back then.

I grew up with a ‘78 GMC that had T-hooks on the side of the bed, we’d haul hay like this, but tied down:

Bed rail hooks: SERIOUSLY underappreciated these days.

I went to check the battery terminals of a 2006 Dodge Caravan. I notice two of the three engine mount bolts were broken. On the top left of this picture, but three instead of two. One longer so it can be lowered. I know this because I did the water pump a year prior.

They actually are surprisingly cheap. Just make sure you get one large enough for the parts you are likely to toss in.

Why this law is existing:
