Ha, Brazos Valley Imports- that was where i bought my GTI last year right after i graduated from Texas A&M. Love College Station. Go Aggies!

Chemical engineering FTW!

FYI, the industry term would be C3 Splitter, which is just a distillation column. It uses the same principles as a whisky still, but it acts like several stills in series, concentrating the product more and more in each subsequent stage. This particular column probably has around 100 or so stages and generates really…

Typically, they don't.

In terms of Hiroshima-based manufacturers facing delays due to stuff falling from the sky, this is pretty benign.

Or... FancyKristen: Simply buy Pebble Beach and deny everyone entry on Sunday morning.  They have it coming, they didn’t appreciate her submarine last year.

4th Gear: I want about 75% of my fellow drivers in Level 5 automated cars. If there is a level 6, I want them in those. I’m sticking to my non-abs, non-traction control stick shift because I know how to drive, but most other drivers are morons and jerks and shouldn’t be allowed to operate a push lawn mower without…

Mine is a manual with the 2.0L and I was getting the advertised 41mpg on the highway when I first bought it though I kinda…

Which is why I like to answer wrong sometimes. Ahhh chaos...

Huh... never would’ve expected Mustang-bashing from you

There must have been a few people behind that wall, and Mustang DNA overrode the programming.

Well. It is a Mustang at a car show after all.

Robots and automation require skilled technicians and engineers to setup and maintain, albeit far fewer employees than would be required without the automation. We’re doing our best to prevent this scenario and keep old school manufacturing jobs around by gutting our education system. You can’t engineer automated…

Cambia la palabra “vuelo “ por” corrida”(espero que en donde vives corrida signifique viaje en autobús) y el articulo sigue teniendo sentido 

Is it a diesel?

I wonder what the pitch meeting in GM’s design committees’ offices were/are like. They have to be trolling everyone, right? It has to go something like this:
(several years ago)
“The product planners want us to make a midsize crossover. Ford’s Edge is still doing well, and the bosses think folks want a Chevy version.”
“Ye…

My work fired a guy once that then tried to get a lawyer and made a bunch of random accusations. It never went anywhere because he was a crazy fucker. Sometimes, you just hire a crazy fucker.
