Facts? Facts are someone has HIV in their body somewhere and by having sex with them you can be exposed to it. Maybe you don’t get infected, maybe you do, but if you don’t have HIV, you should have every right to refuse to expose yourself to that danger, no matter how small it is.

Holy shit. HIV will kill you and probably someone you sleep with unless you are on an endless stream of medication for the rest of your life. It is nothing like herpes or fucking pregnancy. You avoid HIV like the plague, not like the flu or cold sores.

Except this boogieman can actually kill you. If a condom breaks while the SO and I are having sex, at worst we have a pregnancy problem. If either of us had HIV, we would have a much bigger problem. I don’t care if there are drugs that mitigate the risks. The virus is still present and therefore there is a chance of…

Ah good point. I’d say that’s definitive proof.

Did. They didn’t have throttle bodies. With the new emissions requirements, they do. Probably helps them run at the correct air/fuel ratio so they don’t emit too much NO2 in addition to what was said above.

Well that’s weird because that’s how diesels worked for decades and they were more efficient? Seems like other advantages outweighed the in efficiency of moving unreacted air through the engine.

Yeah.... That 6.2 is going to suck fuel trying to make those numbers. Even modern ones are pigs once they get loaded and have to spin up. I think it’s a pretty commonly known fact that diesels are more efficient when operating under load. I don’t have a scientific explanation, but despite your claimed expertise here,…

They shouldn’t work with them at all. No one has a right to be a performer. Allowing them to perform with people that don’t have HIV is reckless and unnecessarily risky. While blacklisting HIV-positive performers really sucks for those performers, the industry is better for it. Sometimes life gives you lemons, you’re…

Do they give provisions to secure groceries in that empty bed?

Ehhhhh.... I thought not a month ago we were saying that some other company was rolling electric trucks around with ford bodies on them? Was that wrong? Is this just one of those? How can you tell whether this is Ford’s? Are both Ford and that other company testing electric trucks with Ford bodies?

Lot’s of smaller, modern diesels have throttle bodies. I think modern emissions standards make it nearly impossible to run without one. Helps them regulate the mixture better than simply dumping fuel in a cylinder with the maximum amount of air it can take in.

Better off spending upwards of $20k more on the entire truck? How does that work out?

Lower RPM operation while towing since the torque curve is much lower in the RPM range. Makes for a more comfortable driving experience and less of a fuel economy drop vs regular driving. Also better fuel economy across the board.

His bikes weren’t really my cup’o tea, but I’m glad he made them and am sorry he won’t be making any more. Godspeed, Mr. Ness.

I sort of thought this was a newer idea. Like we as both individuals and a civilization have risen above physical confrontations. We haven’t and probably shouldn’t. I’m not saying back alley brawls should be the rule, but sometimes someone needs a reminder that they’re being an asshole.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that there is never a reason to fight someone. In this case, I think a little shove would have done it, not a full-on punch. Not even enough of one to knock the guy over. Just a nudge while you call him a dumb son of a bitch and tell him to fuck himself. Then you go back to racing. Brawli…

I’m not going to watch the entire door switch video, but I think I got the idea for the first 3 min and it completely misses my point. He fixed the micro switches in the assembly. If he took that whole assembly out and replaced it with another one, it would not work as it would need to be coded to the ECU, like I said…

I agree with most of your comment, but there is no way tesla is going to let you run a refurb battery by anyone other than tesla. You can’t even change a door handle assembly without going to the dealer and having a tech code it to the ECU, much less a battery pack.

No-fault is stupid. My insurance company should be able to sue yours if you’re terrible at driving and mess up.

Ah right. Forgot about that. Maybe having the engine between the shifter and the transmission makes it a little more difficult? I know FWD has cables, but usually they are transversely mounted. I’d bet the corvette is longitudinally mounted.
