Why do I want that car, more than an ordinary VW?

I have a lot of respect for anyone going through med school, bit to say that makes him inherently altruistic is over the top. 

Found the guy fucking with Korey’s car.

The following individuals are persons of interest the authorities are interested in questioning.

Imagine the horror when he picks up one of these bad boys:

I doubt it’s because the person hates the color orange. The angry person is someone who lives on the street and can’t find parking. He probably saw Korey walk around the corner one time, and now the car is easy to spot.

It it was a properly sorted example and didn’t need “tinkering” to get it above 60mph I would say NP.  But knowing there could be bigger issues from the start is not worth $9500.  Sorry

When a BMW i8 at a showroom in the Dutch province of Brabant began smoking yesterday morning, firefighters there had just the solution.

Put it in a giant bag of rice when you’re done with the soak and it should be a-okay!

I like all the questions of “why do you even need this?” as if I actually care about the bronco or the wrangler and wasn’t just setting that up for “the ford giveth, the ford taketh away”.

...it’s in the article.

Yes, it is correct, but many people struggle to imagine it right. Drill a hole in metal and the hole gets smaller when cold and bigger when hot. Yes your brain thinks expansion in all directions smushing the hole smaller, but your brain is wrong. Draw a picture of a hole in a square. Then cut that up like a tic tac…

Yeah, that guy saying synth oil gets thicker with heat really pissed me off.

That has more to do with a higher idle being needed for the excessively rich mixture on a cold start. Cold-start air:fuel ratios may be as rich as 3:1 (normal is generally between 12-14:1) in order to facilitate combustion and compensate for poor fuel atomization at low temperatures. This rich of a mixture ignites…

Nope, the aluminum contracts, which means it contracts around the crankshaft.  It’s the same concept as applying heat to a shaft to remove a stuck bearing.  Heat the bearing and it expands, loosening the grip on the shaft.

The problem with this concept is that you’re imagining a fixed outer dimension of the engine block, with the thickness of the block expanding inward with increasing temperature. That might be a useful concept for a short intermittent stage as the block heats up from the inside out, but not at a relatively uniform…

This is what’s wrong with the internet. You literally just read an article (or, at least you should have before commenting) that was a conversation with a guy that is “widely regarded internationally as one of the foremost applied combustion experts in the world,” and yet, your opinion still rules the day. He says…

To everybody who thinks multi-grade oils are thicker at temperature than cold, look at this chart:

I’m hoping zero.
