If my passengers put up their feet, I instantly pull over the car, despite it having no airbags. Besides the airbags, I could see some other terrible things that could happen in that situation.

But I can do calculations faster and more efficiently.

Commodore made a calculator???

The HP 35S has fractional entry in the same manner.

I have an HP 48GX.

Intake manifolds, at least on old V8's. For the most part, the cheap eBay China stuff works just as well as an Edelbrock or Weiand.

An exception I know to this is if you’re running an MSD, especially a 7AL or higher. Those ignitions are pretty famous for melting electrodes in 500 miles, so platinum/ iridium or dual electrode plugs are recommended if you’re running one on the street. That doesn’t mean you need to run anything more fancy than the…

Chevy C/K series pickups:

Will a 22RE run a cranberry bog pump for ~200-300 hours a year for 60 years? I think not. Plenty of Wisconsin TJD’s and V465D’s, as well as Pontiac 287 V8's and International 266 V8's on the larger pumps have been doing it around here. A 22RE’s fuel injection system would fail long before then, and the timing chain…

I have a few to counter your argument:

The difference being, that the local junkyard wants $2000 for the Mercedes V12 and all computers from the car, and $3000 for the wagon.

Seeing that 6.0 AMG V12 gave me an idea:

I don’t know if this counts, but I used to have a 1974 International Scout. I was using it as a pickup truck to get some firewood in the winter, and as such, I had the top off. As I was backing out of the driveway, the back of my head hit a small tree branch that was weighed down with snow, resulting in all the snow…

I have this on my GMC Jimmy. They’re called “Exhaust cutouts”. Goes from quiet restrictive mufflers to straight piped 454 big block with the flip of a switch.

I understand that you know this, but your average car thief wouldn’t.

I do own multiple TV’s: A 1956 RCA CTC-4, a 1970s Ford branded black and white TV, a 1980s Sony projection TV, and a 1980s Mitsubishi, all hooked up to Xfinity Digital Converter boxes and basic cable.

Yeah, but try and find a car thief that even knows how a Vertex magneto works...

My cars are, luckily unhackable. No ECU, electronic ignition, fuel injection, and one doesn’t even have a radio.

Delo is great, although rotella has less zinc than it used to. Some of my engines are built to 20w50 tolerances, so I’m stuck using the more expensive oils in those.
