By that point they’re indoctrinated. You want someone who felt the first tingles of the mind-shackles and stumbled, retching and gasping, out of the mothership.

Depends. Naturally aspirated, fairly low compression, mid 90s type engine? the more miles the better.

Modern tiny turbo aluminum block? I’m a little more leery.

Motorcycle? Every 10k over 20k miles takes off 10% f the resale value.

right. one can also substitute extort/torture as necessary

Indeed the two are very different:

US Procurement process: Pay people to design, build, test, break, fix, discontinue, recontinue, etc given part.

Chinese procurement process: Buy designs to finished US part.

My car! Because he’s my best buddy and every morning I come outside and he’s like OOHH DO WE GET TO DRIVE NOW DO WE DO WE DO WE LETS DRIVE WHEEEEEEEEE.

That makes more sense. Petroleum generally doesn’t boom/shockwave like that because the combustion is limited by the rate of aresolization (it needs air to blow up, it doesn’t create it’s own oxygen). Whatever this was made a lot of oxygen in a hurry. Explosives would do it.

Doesn’t look like petroleum, more like big time oxidizer- fertilizer plant, chemical plant, metallurgical dust explosion, something like that.

Perhaps it is a VW after all?

Solo FiSTing is a very zen experience.

I wish more cars had this setup. I do 99.9% of the miles in my FiST with only me in the car, having a center seat would be amazing.

I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for you meddling proletariat!

Thank god.

I would be quite happy if they just made an RSX update.
