This is kind of what I was hoping for, someone knowing some more details about the requirement to drive the motor. Knowing exactly how strong the motor needs to be is the part that I have no scope of. If it really needs that sort of power to lend a mild intake air pressurization, I can see why it's been left alone as…

Agreed.

Maybe I'm insane, but ever since I learned how a turbo works, at about age 12, I've wondered why nobody ever powered one with an electric motor. To my pre-adolescent mind, it made sense to pressurize intake air with something that doesn't depend on exhaust pressure and doesn't decrease crankshaft power. I always…

Bootstrap's M3?

This.

While I'm against screwing off in traffic and residential areas, I'm pretty sure he's on a DRZ400SM, which can pretty much stand a wheelie at walking speed. I doubt he's even speeding.

Because the bulk of American drivers don't seem to like driving. They're people who want to get from point A to point B, as cheaply and quickly as possible. And by quickly, I don't mean driving fast. I mean with as little effort and time involved as possible. Effort, like that pesky clutch pedal. Time, like taking…

But can you make CNCs into billets to machine using CNC?

That's just mean. I approve, but still, it's mean.

DAT TRUCK!

I'd have to start by improving my garage situation. I currently only have a two car that's inundated with my daily driver and my motorcycles, various tools, yard equipment, etc...

Ice fishing for me consists more of drinking in a small heated tent on a frozen lake with my brothers. We don't catch a shitload of fish, but then, we choose our fishing spots based on how quickly we can get back to the cabin to use the toilet. Two of my brothers once played a game of scrabble on a plastic end table…

My dad's best friend since childhood lost his brother in '65. He was a pilot, got shot down. This summer, he got to come home.

I'm kinda surprised about the things I read with VW having cars that are too low to the ground for everyday use. E.g., this situation, the Mk4 Jetta with snagging bumper skins on curbs or parking barriers and ripping off... You'd think "The People's Car" would have chosen a bit of ground clearance, a steel oil pan, or…

Don't worry. Let's talk again in late January when it's been below zero for a week straight here. I personally don't mind the cold, I grew up with it. Most people despise it and threaten to move. I just go ice fishing.

Oh cool! An M5!

Yeah, now's as good a time as any!

The temperature in Minneapolis is a beautiful 77° and sunny. Fuck this office...

Looks to me and a coworker like it broke the fuck out of his arm, possibly compound fracture.

This is exactly what I was going to post, except that the new method of posting is a cluster.
