I'm not a VW fan, but that seems like a wanton waste of parts.

It's 'cause you get all of the posting of stupid shit online, with the added bonus of potential real-life consequences!

A truly novel opinion: I like both.

My point is that this is one of Murilee Martin's old pieces. If you've been here as long as you say you have, I'm sure you would have recognized that (psst, look at the date on top). If you don't like the occasional long-form piece that's fine. I have my own grouses about this site and I'm sure that we might even…

You must be new here.

I understand, and I don't suppose I can blame them (I'm probably just missing ye old storytime with Murilee Martin days), but it just seemed too easy to sub to a couple auto-related reddits (justrolledintotheshop, etc.), grab the top posts and link it here. I'm just being pedantic, aren't I?

I do agree Metric is best for any professional, research or engineering work, but please tone done the smug factor and realize Imperial is still culturally dominant in the US (and areas of the UK) and many casual readers will be more familiar with and have Imperial tools/standards. :)

maybe that's a good thing.

from 1990.

I think it's more to do with China having lower standards on what they'll allow on the roads. That said, I've seen some pretty hoopty-ass/downright dangerous vehicles everywhere.
