And that’s if you even have the option to do bearings or full hubs. On my wife’s car, either way was a nightmare. I did full hubs and it still sucked horrifically because the inner races were interference fit (imagine the cylinder actually being narrower than the piston you’re putting in it) to the axles so tightly…

I’d add on not using PBlaster/WD-40 or a torch to get really stuck parts off. The first time you snap a spark plug off that had seized steel-to-aluminum in a cylinder head, you learn this lesson hard.

Like when I went to do the “not too hard” front wheel bearing job on my wife’s Scion tC and it ended up taking 10 hours of hammering, PBlaster, torches, oven baking, freezing, bearing pressing, and eventually angle grinding to do just one side of that horror machine.

I’d add in using jackstands wrong.

“My understanding is that the supra motor and transmission are both good for at least 500whp”

Or I could, ya know, look at the side of the airplane 2 1/2 hours ago. Your contribution to humanity will nonetheless be preserved forever, as the internet is wont to do.

“It’s funny how pretentious yet poorly-worded that response it.”

This is exactly the system I envisioned using KERS, but even more compact without needing a flywheel system and all.

Good God Goose’s name was Nick Bradshaw? It didn’t even occur to me that they didn’t mention Goose’s real name even once in that movie when Maverick’s was said like 50 times.

Makes me want to ride a wheelie on my motorcycle right now, upside down.

“I now know that Grandma sent me that pie to keep me humble.”

It’s funny how an instinct so ingrainedly, pervasively human that it’s been studied and established as a natural trait in infants can be seen as “irrelevant” under the false justification of context.

Yeah that’s just insane. No car that “I bought this for the badge” embarrassing should get that much hp. It’s heresy on wheels.

Yeah considering how short the list is, remembering the mnemonic device just makes the data load heavier in your brain and requires twice the retrieval. They’re coolass planets; if you can’t remember 9, good luck with plus and minus class.

In the air!

Well you definitely captured how much it could possibly suck to fight a trained boxer who has 50lbs on you. That must have been just brutal. I can imagine just giving up on both fronts from exhaustion, just like you did.

Oh I bet the cops “saved” it alright. With their faces.

It’s always been a weird feeling with how cars have worked, economically, forever now really. It relies on an entire population of people to make a bad decision and basically sacrifice themselves financially for the sake of the economy in general, for auto workers, and for the consumers who will buy those cars used…

Good times all around. Reminds me of the GS850L I bought in pieces for $250 and reassembled the engine on my own. It loved to pee oil out of an inexplicable spot on the head, straight onto the exhaust. I looked like Ghost Rider at every stoplight from the smoke pouring off the engine. Fun as hell to ride though, all…

Rock on
