Nickel is not only lustrous, but hard, and corrosion resistant. Motor fuels are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture readily from the atmosphere, when that moisture passes through the fuel system it causes corrosion, nickel plating components prevents premature wear from corrosion.

Engineered nickel plating is not the same as decorative nickel plating. Usually it is done for corrosion protection and/or to coat soft surfaces as a hard-wearing layer.

I add a modifier. do those ALONE. not with friends or with a group. Alone to focus on each other and not others.

There seems to be something missing from this post—namely, what the Oregon law has to say about moving up to the front of an intersection.

The F-35B. The overreach that doomed the Joint Strike Fighter program. It’s why there are so many compromises and cost overruns.

They can do it because they’re giving you tax breaks to use IRAs. You’re more than able to put your after-tax income into brokerage accounts in whatever amounts you’d like, subject only to your whims.

Droids, cars, whatever.

Holy crap. I clicked on the video and knew exactly where she is at (sign me up to be an investigative reporter, ESPN. I have a college degree, am in good shape, have all my teeth, and live in an apartment). Before everyone absolutely rags on Britt here, let me play devil’s advocate for just one second.

The solution, according to Danev, is to keep your keys in something that won’t allow the amplifier to boost the signal and detect the key – something like a Faraday Cage – which is why Bilton’s keys are now chilling out in his freezer

I’m a simple man, with a simple mind and simple needs.

Sometimes it's worth paying more on Amazon just so I don't have to walk into a WalMart! I mean seriously, I might pay twice as much to not walk into one.

Because you want to keep your stuff dry and secure when it rains and snows, so you can sleep in the back when it rains and snows, so you can get 30 mpg instead of 18, so you can have actual good handling and braking and be able to park it in the city. And yes, my other car is a 3/4 ton cummins longbed, because I can't…

I'm not really sure why wagons are so well-liked amongst the readership of this site, but it's fairly easy to understand why they're so consistently popular here in Europe: they're the most natural step up from a hatchback there is, size-wise, and everyone here starts out in a hatch.

Both wagons and pickups are good at hauling stuff.

Err... Because stuff is inside, out of the weather rather than outside getting pissed on. My wife runs a patissiery. She and I deliver cakes in cardboard boxes. You may like your cake wet with cardboard, but most of our customers don't.

There is also the possibility of having the lease taken over by someone else. There is always someone out there looking for a lease and it could be very easy to transfer the lease to an approved buyer.

What the fuck are wrong with catalytic convertors? Catalytic converters are modern miracles. They DRAMATICALLY reduce the harmful emissions from vehicles (by a huge amount...we're not talking a little thing here...a lot of people underestimate what they do), and do so in a way that is extremely power and fuel…

They have a lot of shit to carry?

How about an accompanying article:

There are plenty of keyless start, manual gearbox cars... Keyless just means you press a button instead of turning the key, with the fob in your pocket. It required the clutch pressed in to make it work.
