The way I see it, I learned something that day and got to hang out and drink beer with my buddy while I was doing it. To each their own, but I love the experience.

I’ll have to go with the time I helped a friend replace his front brake calipers. Got them off easy. Got the new ones on easy. Proceeded to bleed the brakes and we just couldn’t get the air out of the lines. After spending about five hours bleeding every bit of the system we could think of and looking for places air…

Worth it for a white shifter.

You’re killing people, Jalopnik. /s

If your tach is changing either a) your speed it’s fluctuating or b) you have a shitty torque converter or c) you have a slipping clutch. Period. That’s the physics.

As a mechanical engineer, I’m truly saddened by all the peyote on here that think wheel speed isn’t a one to one function if engine speed. They must all drive CVTs or something.

I don’t think anyone would disagree that changing gears causes a change in engine speed. Above, it sounded like you were saying simply applying throttle changes the engine speed while maintaining a constant wheel speed which is just completely wrong.

He’s replying to someone that’s saying your engine speed can change to maintain constant speed WITHOUT downshifting. Which is absolutely absurd because your wheels are mechanically linked to your engine through the drive line. Obviously downshifting will cause a change in engine speed.

You must drive a CVT. That’s the only kind of transmission that can vary the engine speed, but maintain a constant wheel speed. Otherwise your wheels are mechanically linked to your engine through the drive line. Any variation in engine speed will change the wheel speed. The only exception would be if your car has a…

Solution: I just leave my top down 100% of the time that it isn’t raining.

You’re repeating what I said. We can do it, but we damn sure don’t just pump it to the developing world.

Yes. Self serving and self defeating. If the idea is truly to educate, then picking an alarmist title is a way to ensure that the only people that are going to watch it are the people that already know the lesson it’s trying to teach. No climate change skeptic is going to watch a movie by a Hollywood actor that…

Yep. As i said, we can obtain water from salt water, but we damn sure don’t pump it to developing nations.

Nothing you said changed my expectations and if anything confirmed them.

Well we do know he visits wikileaks which does publish classified information which makes it seem plausible that he has accessed classified information over a public and/or private server.

You do realize that they reopened the case to look at emails that were neither sent to or from Clinton, right? It doesn’t make having the server any better, but it changes none of the conclusions that will be made about her use of the server.

Sorry, but I can’t do it. I’m no climate change denier. I fully support the idea that it’s man made and if our generation doesn’t act, there will be problems. However, by giving his documentary an overly alarmist name like “Before the Flood,” DiCaprio all but assured only the most eco hippie among us will actually…

I mean, we can obtain WATER from sea water and we won’t even do that for people that need it so don’t go betting the farm on doing literally anything for developing nations.

“Shifty-pops” it is then.

Taking away trophies equals giving everyone a trophy?
