“I think... um.... maybe... I’ll buy this really fancy... um.. F1 piece of technology and um... put it on my Lamborghini for no real logical reason... um... because.. F1 technology. It must...um...be better, yah?”

McMaster Carr is your friend. Not only do they have nearly every imaginable part you could need, in this case gas shocks, they have handy dandy engineering information to help you calculate what you need if you don’t know.

This reminds me of the time I tried to repair my Chrysler Turbo Encabulator.

I think a better option would be to take the Type R and make it look like a ‘normal’ Civic (which is slightly less ugly).

We live in a different world now dude, the snobbish formalities are outdated and have no place in a modern sales environment. If you’re in sales, your job is to sell whatever it is you’re selling. Your job isn’t to judge customers based on stupid shit like clothing or age. The market for these cars doesn’t just…

Don’t drop this in the customers lap. You don’t need to beg in order to buy anything from a dealer. It is up to them to sell you that item. When they become too good to wait on you then they need to get out of the business. He should drive back by later and show them the Lambo he bought because they couldn’t be…

Do I need to ask Jones if he knows what insurance is?

Most of us can agree that Formula One needs some sort of cockpit protection on its historically open race cars.

People will smash windows even if the AC is on full blast and the kid/pet inside is quite comfortable. Everyone wants to be an hero.

Or they’ll also double down on the sponsor names during the show and graphics

Snorkels were invented for dust, not water.

Regardless of traction, the maximum torque the differential will ever be subjected to is limited by engine torque multiplied by the 1st gear ratio. Even with all the traction in the world, you’re not adding torque to the differential beyond what it’s designed to handle. You’d get that in a tug-of-war situation, but…

And for the love of god, Enough with the “Latinx” bullshit! It’s Latino or Latina. Not that fucking hard. Stop making up words para nosotros que somos orgulloso de nuestra cultura y idioma. Latinx is a made up word by Chicanos that think in English and they don’t even speak Spanish but want to decide how to generalize…

“It may seem easy to write Woodrum off as ignorant of finance, or budgeting, or the car buying process.” That nonetheless doesn’t change the reality that he is.
