that helps alleviate bending forces. old I6s could be 4 main bearings or 7 main bearings; obv. the 7 main bearing ones were considered the stronger more durable engines.

I’ll tell you which band should not have their own cooking show.

welp, guess we know where Dodge got the idea for the “pizza” wheels from in the ‘80s.

no, the modular family is the 4.6 V8, 5.4 V8, 5.8 GT500 V8, 6.8 V10, and the Coyote/Voodoo 5.0/5.2.

Speedway has better coffee anyway.

Dear Anheuser-Busch,

I brought it up more for its haphazard appearance. just a lot of stuff to cram into the valley of a narrow vee angle.  

one thing this also addressed was crankshaft torsion. the longer a crankshaft is (e.g. in an I6 or I8) the more it’s able to “twist” as the forces of the power strokes push down on the crankpins. At best it causes inconsistent timing from cylinder to cylinder as the crank twists and springs back. At worst it can cause…

and I used to think Gallagher was edgy for smashing watermelons (among other things.)

And now we have learned that the state of Utah is bringing them back.

yeah, I wish I could re-think that part.  I’m guilty of generalizing an anecdote.

nah, they’re just more concerned with Wall Street.  Guys like him would happily see the car companies cut staffing to nothing as long as it bumped their share prices up. 

GM: “Oh so you’re Nick’s brother?  The one nobody remembers anymore?”

I think in MI restaurants are still permitted to hold 50% capacity,

but you’ve got too many people who immediately jump to the “but... but... but ZIMBABWE!!!!” scare attempt.  They don’t realize there are a lot of factors leading up to that kind of hyperinflation. 

yeah, with all of the mandatory work stoppages, pretty much all car companies had zero income for at least a month and a half. 

I like how people say this stuff, when nothing depreciates as fast as a German luxury car. 

then I’m not talking about you :)

I hadn’t heard of that, so I googled them. The beginning of their Wikipedia article:

Maybe it should be “General Mortars.”
