I had a 2003 Chevy Cavalier with a manual transmission. It had a little yellow LED in the gauge cluster that lit when you were supposed to shift for optimal fuel economy, according to the manual. It actually was a really good indicator when at partial throttle.

I already knew about the purpose of these before, and almost dismissed this article for what it was (upon initial judgements). However, after actually reading it (shocker!), I am happy to say that it was still an interesting and informative read.

Nope, I’m talking about the coolant pipe that ran down the length of the engine, in the V, under the intake manifold. The seals on either end would fail, causing hot coolant to spray out and the driver to be stranded on the side of the road, in a cloud of steam.

This was great. You know why? Because, for all of 2 minutes, I wasn’t thinking about the next four years.

Counterpoint: No.

The f35 seems an appropriate metaphor for this upcoming regime

That’s actually way less obvious than you might think. These rotors create complex air currents that interact with each other. Doubling them up could reduce their efficiency.

Short people don’t matter. Everyone knows this.

Engineer: We should use computational fluid dynamics and a materials testing program to make our cars safer.

Considering we don’t even recognize ISIS as a nation (nor should we), what exactly do you want Congress to declare war on? An idea?

Probably because they added the flare and then the accountants said “but we can save $0.02 a car if we don’t do that!” And forced them to remove it even after they did testing that discovered that very flaw.

Don’t forget about AVe. That guy puts some Australians to shame with the amount he swears.

Goddamn truck done broked

Due to weather conditions, the pilot wanted to abort the landing, but Pence was extremely opposed to it.

You win the racism card bonus for this post. Congratulations?
