Because normal - as in not mentally handicapped - people hesitate to kill other humans.

Those of us who love cars and the engineering behind them disagree with you.

Oh boy are you about to be disappointed. Not only have I now written about counterweights, but I’ve also written about blue anodized wheel cylinders:

I’m here to say that I love this series. Car Culture is often sick and entitled, and involves a ton of gatekeeping. Sharing your experiences with getting into basics like this is a great pushback against that. Thanks for sharing it all!

well they all fall under the category “rubbers”

Basic supply and demand would say: “as demand goes up, the prices should go down”.. but in reality, Gas (as a captive audience, since if you drive a ICE, your option is what company to buy gas from, not “should I buy gas” and the same goes for jet fuel prices, public transit (that uses gas), and others.

So yes, its…

The problem with all of this is that US manufacturers (as did many in the West) looked at the Toyota LEAN / Just-In-Time model and said “that’s how we can save money!”.

One side literally just stormed the US capitol, erected gallows, and threatened to hang politicians. So no, I have zero desire for unity with anyone who supported that, and the fact that we still have politicians who defend it is disgusting.

yeah, it should work well.

I had to desulfate my big boi AGM group 31 the other day because it had been sitting for a while. A charger like this is critical if you have upgraded to an AGM battery for your start battery but your charge system is older as the alternator wont reach the voltage needed for AGM absorption meaning you will never get…

HOeV lanes with wireless charging is the true future of the EV charging infrastructure. Charge as you go and stop if you want to. Gasoline motors do not even have that potential. 

“Who fucking cares” is literally an accurate response to the deficit.

Allow me an analogy: You walk into a Quiznos and see a guy leave half of a perfectly good Italian sandwich just... sitting there. There’s nothing wrong with it. The sandwich was clearly cut in half, and aside from being a little rough from the unwrapping process, that’s half of a good sandwich. It even still has the…

This is why I refuse to even use my camera. No need to see my face as long as you can hear my voice. 

He ain’t wrong, though. I was driving the Miata last week on a beautiful, twisty country lane, lovely new asphalt, nothing but trees as far as the eye could see, feelin’ good, when I come around a tight corner and BOOM oil truck just parked right there in the road right in front of me.
