A track car where you can’t change coolant to pure water and back without a tech? Seems stupid.

Bugatti is the ur-example in cars, going back to the ’20s, but they’re all basically Bleu de France, which goes back to the 12th century.

If I could trust it enough to not have to head-check, it would be a godsend, since I wouldn’t have to take my eyes off the car in front.

Only supposed to go off when you signal or turn towards another vehicle, so no. Still seems pointless, though.

Type 3 looks goofy and unbalanced without a bumper. Outlaw 356 all the way.

Gremlins holds up to my age and its own (the same). Not so Explorers, judging by the half hour I could stand to watch it. I did jump forward to a coupla later scenes to see if it gets better: nope, worse. There are at least ten inarguably better movies (for adults, at least) being added on April 1.

The title oversells it. As you finally note in the last paragraph, this is just a tiny bit of the process — one of the most boring bits, really. I have to check valve clearances on my bike every 3000 miles, so whooptie-freakin’-do. The Porsche 918, Veyron, etc. factory videos are 1000x more interesting.

Race car = no HVAC = no defrogger? The wipers are doing their jobs, it’s the mist and interior fogging that are the problem.

The nominal(static) 13:1 is misleading. What really matters is dynamic CR, from intake valve close to TDC. Mazda’s Dynamic CR isn’t that high, because they delay intake close to create an overexpansion/Atkinson cycle for efficiency. The tradeoff is lower hp/L. Other Atkinson engines have high static CR as well, e.g.…

Look at the native title. Korean has more circly and squiggly bits, as in NK’s name for the language:

The EPS liner should be soft enough to compress by the time you’re getting a lateral concussion. If you had a rotational concussion, it may not matter. 6D, that company Sean’s written about, recommends for their helmets that they be inspected by a “qualified technician,” specifically their own. Short of sending it…

Well, if he were just parroting Nelson’s use of a classist pejorative, yeah, that’d be oblivious at best. But he actually linked to the wiki page, instead of a condescending source like the urbandictionary page.

It’s called a helical cut, and you guessed the reason. Also, because of the 90-degree angle change, you get thrust loads regardless, so the race car calculus used for transmission gears (straight gears=no thrust loads=lighter gearbox) doesn’t apply. Straight cut is cheaper, but I’m pretty sure even race cars use…

In another picture, it shows a side-facing camera. Suspension action should be easier to pick up on the suspension itself, so not sure what they’re doing here. Infrared, maybe?

State law only supercedes where more stringent - any Cali car that satisfies CARB satisfies EPA anyway.

To insult the king is lèse-majesté: ‘injured majesty’. It’s a crime in Thailand. [The More You Know gif]

As someone whose knowledge of football comes entirely from HS Band, I love that you were the one to do this.

My only suggestion is a Lotus Elise/Exige for receiver. An E-type would only hack it in a seniors’ league, if those exist.

That’s the minimum the Corps of Engineers is supposed to maintain in the system. The boat’s v-hull is unsuited to it (at least if you want to carry cargo), but he says the draft is 5.5', much shallower than I expected, so it should work if they can actually finish and transport it. The boat itself could be carried on…

Despite Catoosa, you’re on point. You may notice all the boats in the port are barges — the minimum depth of the system is only 9'. This is a dreamboat dream-boat.

CFRP is lighter than aluminum, and stronger. Also, cooler. More susceptible to stress concentrations, though.
