Either kilo of coke under the seat, or body in the trunk.

Yeah, and I’m sure in 2005 50% of people didn’t want internet on their phones. People are almost always resistant to technological change. News at 11.

The effect of the friction brakes is only significant when taxing. Any real stopping power comes from thrust reversers and drag chutes

There are some applications, like jet engine parts, where 3-D printing reduces expenses. Cost savings can be in the form of design time, design complexity, fuel savings due to reduced component weight, extended component life, etc.

There’s a chance it’s actually cheaper for Bugatti to do additive brake calipers, if they were starting from scratch. Means you don’t have to do a bunch of tooling and other development work for a small run of parts, and it also means there isn’t a big push to do the entire run at once.

Chevy should just give us what we really want and that’s a double cab-over with functional 6x6, eat your heart out mercedes

I love the idea of these compartments. However, as someone who does 100+ miles per day in a work pickup, I just see a Chevy finding brave new ways to squeak, rattle and break.

Dodge T-Rex. Doing 6 wheeled pickups before Merc knew it was cool

I wasn’t aware that was even possible.

I think what you want is a Harley Davidson, son.

I miss the pneumo tubes at my bank. They ditched them in the mid ‘90s...

You can with the tail gate down. Just sayin’.

Because you (the driver) can’t see them. Hood ornaments trace their history back to the Boyce MotoMeter, which was an early way to measure water temperature. Many companies simply added extra ornamentation around it (Packard pictured below), either as standard, or as aftermarket add-ons. When the MotoMeter became…

If half power is 750hp, times that by .750 to get kilowatts, so 562.5 KWs of power.

I typically do the same, but you still need to tolerance out that hole to the edges. Do you want the edge to be 1" away, do you want it to be 1.0" away, 1.00" away...

After my machinest gig, i got a design engineering job at a major aerospace company, i quickly went from hating engineers, to hating machinists hahah. Now i work as a project engineer, and i basically hate everyone

“Hines’ chunk of granite comes with a certificate, verifying its flatness down to 0.00004 inches.”

Slabs of granite are in every single machine shop and manufacturing facility, basically anywhere. incredibly common and easy method for measuring tolerance, whether big or small.

The bucking is likely one or both of these things. Rear crossmember busing are likely shot and cause play in driveline, replace them. Also, there is a rubber boot in the intake between the greyish plastic pipe heading down beside the throttle body and the rest of the intake out to the maf and filter, this boot is…

(at least not in anything but a straight line).
