I had my own experience with tree sap right after a polish, I went for the more premium solution - WD40. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, hose off, give a microfiber scrub here and there, works like a charm.

Ukrainians*. Most Soviet engineering was done in Ukrainian SR back in the day. From rocket and jet engines to highly capable(for the time period) off-road trucks and nuclear power plants.

Or just switch to the European system of L/100km (gallons per 100 miles or whatever). MPG numbers get increasingly non-linear after the 30MPG mark. Basically the difference between 15 and 30MPG in fuel economy is twice the difference between 25 and 50. Makes no sense to pick numbers that don’t actually mean anything…

Anyway, if my previous post was not entirely clear. The blower rams into the rear left tire at 0:34 when the driver brakes into it.

After watching it several times I noticed the blower is actually not tethered at around 0:33. I assume the high speed, at which the shaft rotated before the explosion, produced enough torque to keep the blower stable, keeping its’ momentum along the axis of rotation. If he didn’t brake so early, he would have saved a…

Reminds me of photographer Jonas Bendiksen’s series on Russia “Satellites”. As everything else in Russia, its’ space program is surreal, but pragmatic.

This image sums up my experience of Budapest. No police, no tape, suddenly there are a bunch of runners amidst what seemed like heavy traffic. Felt kinda bad for them because of my straight-piped, oil-burning ‘95 Golf GTI.
Pretty buildings though, didn’t like the traffic lights every 200m.

Haha, oops. Heavy chilling and excessive resting in winter conditions is never a good idea. Here, take my spelling license.

Same here, DiRT Rally taught me no sudden inputs while heavy breaking, no excessive break use when cornering, or ever. I could apply this knowledge in snowy February going straight and calm into the back of a bus, break pedal depressed just before the point of tire slip, stopping 1-2 meters away from it. Good times.

That was the car of a “prominent” real-estate investor and pawn shop owner going by the nickname Capone. He cheated some poor, disabled 67 year old guy out of his house by forging his signature. Nobody nice drives an A8 east of the iron curtain.

Excuse my europeness, but why do most US cars from that era have such enormous ground clearance? Especially in the rear, the wheel arches are half-empty. Is it some sort of regulation, such as 5mph bumpers?
