“Security of buying from a dealer”

Yes, what made sense in the 1790s still makes sense today, let’s never change it. 

I blame Democrats. Multiple decades, and multiple majorities, went by without them codifying Abortion into law and making it near unassailable. Instead they chose to sit on a OPINION (which is always subject to change whether we like it or not) and use the threat of overturning it as a carrot for their base. It’s easy…

I don’t think you’re going to get lesser quality Portobellos here since they have to be grown in the US in a controlled environment. They’re native to Italy and I don’t think there are many places here that they can be grown successfully outside. I’m still waiting for my Morel spores to grow. I have the right…

I thought monster truck rallies were only for kids, and the tickets were $10, and it was only this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY. 

Sounds pretty gay to me.

Little Joey and Sarah NEED to be picked up RIGHT HERE, that’s my job

But we’re talking about the world’s largest car maker here. Toyota has the resources for engine development, if they want to do it. Mazda somehow is able to develop a new inline-6 and they sell fewer cars than BMW, at a way lower average price.  Let’s see if it sinks Mazda, but at least they’re trying.

The real answer is a rack for your BRZ.

Not a new transmission. Just different housing

All of this and I’m still not interested in buying it because so much of the expensive bits are still BMW and I just plain don’t trust it to last.

And less space for your helmet for lapping days

Yeah, the ignition lock cylinder thing was widespread. We had a hand operated key punch to make new keys by code and a box of replacement tumblers. The keys would get shaved on the sides by the lock cylinder and get paper thin, the fix was to punch a new key (5 minutes) pull the lock cylinder (15 minutes or less),…

I thought the belt idea was useful. I am needing hip surgery soon due to a birth condition and it causes extreme pain to force my legs together for long periods- the hip socket and muscles just don’t want to... I do it during a flight because I’m not a man spreading monster on public transportation, but I literally go…

In addition to everyone’s comments about the car, most professional vehicle jumpers land on a downward slope to help prevent every single returning force reflecting straight up the drivers spine. He learned about Newton’s 3rd law the hard way.

We don’t slap off the bumpstops, I’ve jumped that kinda mound even in cars with 6-8" of travel - you just need pretty hard compression damping to take it and some progressive foam stops ideally to stop you getting that massive spike of hitting hard stops.

Perhaps counter-intuitive but what you wanted in this case was…

I’d bet being strapped in much tighter helps too. A contributing factor to this injury was likely that he lifted off the seat some in the air, so not only did the truck hit hard, but he slammed back down in his seat with a lot more leeway for things to have pressure in the wrong places.

RE: 1st gear, but how do those filters effect performance. If the impact is negligible and usable lifetime long enough, I wouldn’t mind installing them on my truck. If it’s going to kill 10% or more power and need to be replaced every few years then fuck that. 

Ex Saturn master tech here (‘96) -

There was no GM parts bin stuff in the S series cars. They had a special dispensation from Roger Smith as a core value when they started: they were the only division that had complete freedom to source their own parts from any supplier, anywhere in the world, not tied to GM…

Most all s series parts were saturn only or saturn mainly. Everything after the s series well.....
