Talking about the fuel delivery system, it most likely should have translated as “High Pressure electrically controlled common rail diesel” which is common terminology.

I gotta say, it looks great. So much is hanging on how the pricing comes out. And if they only package ABS with the DCT like they did to the NC700X.

Except that is the actual manifold that feeds the supercharger. They just fit the trim to it so tightly it doesn’t look like they are exposing the engine.

And a rental car?

In WI, you aren’t allowed to leave the dealer without actual plates. The dealer keeps them on hand for new cars, or transfers from a trade-in.

This is exactly my set-up as well. Pants go on over my jeans when commuting, just athletic shorts when on a dedicated ride. Haven’t been uncomfortable while moving at 90°F. Help that my Multistrada doesn’t shed much heat.

Our companies use the same firewall! They don’t block youtube though..

Think about it a different way. Clockwise is away from you, Counter-clockwise is towards you. Doesn’t matter what way is up or if the nut you are taking off is on the back side.

Mmm, that VFR whine

On my Cobalt SS, the left tire and wheel well had to come out to change the air filter. Lived on a gravel road in Iowa, so it was changed regularly too.

Does it have VIN’s on it? If it does a case could be made that it is for you car in it’s current condition. If not, they will backtrack and say it was for a similar car.

About the generic names. Where I work, we have to pick names for parts off of a list because they have to translate these names into multiple languages for the parts books.

QC’s responsibility is to make sure outsourced materials and components are coming into the factory in accordance with Engineering’s specifications, and the final product is leaving the factory at Engineering’s specifications. This isn’t to say I don’t despise Takata in general, but failing products is rarely QC’s…

Pizza Navigator is close, just needs recalibrated.

I was thinking more like CTX1300

Their paint system might just be old. We are going through a big paint system upgrade where I work. The old one just had to be retired because parts aren’t available anymore.

Interesting, thanks for clarifying. The local co-op talk certainly isn’t a technical resource, which misled my terminology.

Have you ever heard of/read Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear”? It’s a fiction novel that boils down to making the point that an entire population/country can be controlled by whatever they are currently afraid of. Past states of fear: poverty(Great Depression), Nazis(WWII), Global Warming(couple of recent years). Our…

Nice article. I just want to mention that your writing will be more reputable if you can use the terms Herbicide and Pesticide correctly. They are both chemicals, but have distinctly different targets: Herbs (plants) and Pests (insects). There are also Fungicides which target, you guessed it, fungi. I understood what…
